Abstract

AbstractDue to technical complexity, most public policies in technological society are dominated by expert-centrism and technocracy (an institutional form of expert-centrism), based on the belief that they should be the exclusive realm of technical experts. But globally, expert-led and technocratic policy-making culture is faced with challenges. We analyse the democratic implications of the Korean experience of the citizens’ jury, a form of citizens’ deliberative participation. We document and examine the citizens’ jury on the National Pandemic Response System in 2008, which was the fi rst case of the citizens’ jury in Korea. We conclude that such characteristics of citizens’ jury present positive implications in realising deliberative democracy.

科技与公民

摘要由于技术的复杂性，技术社会中的大多数公共政策都是由专家中心主义和技术官僚(专家中心主义的一种制度形式)主导的，他们认为这些政策应该是技术专家的专属领域。但在全球范围内，专家主导和技术官僚的政策制定文化面临着挑战。我们分析了韩国公民陪审团经验的民主含义，这是公民协商参与的一种形式。我们记录和研究了2008年国家大流行应对系统的公民陪审团，这是韩国公民陪审团的第一个案例。我们认为，公民陪审团的这些特征对实现协商民主具有积极意义。
