Seminar International Economics Seminar: Peter Emerson

Peter Emerson will give a seminar titled "Adversarial democracy is an oxymoron?".
Peter Emerson is the director of The de Borda Institute in Belfast, which performs work in Northern Ireland, the Balkans, the Caucasus and East Africa. Its goal is the promotion of more representative democracy and to inform voters, politicians and academics about the negatives of typical voting procedures like majority voting, which is characterised as "the most inaccurate measure of collective opinion ever invented". The alternative proposed by the institute is the modified Borda count which has been promoted by the institute since 1978.
