- Christiano, T. (2018). The rule of the many: Fundamental issues in democratic theory. Routledge (republished, Original version in Westview Press, 1996). doi:10.4324/9780429495861More infoThere is no problem more crucial to contemporary political thought than the status of democracy, its role, and its problems in the contemporary world. In this survey of democratic theory, Thomas Christiano introduces the reader to the principles underlying democracy and to the problems involved in applying these principles to real life situations. Begining with the simple, democratically inspired presumption that the interests of all citizens are to be treated equally, Christiano argues that the implications of such a minimal commitment clarify the nature of democracy and what must be demanded of democratic institutions. He argues that it is the collision of this demand for equality with the fact of pluralism of interests that determines how democratic institutions ought to be designed. This strong sense of reality will be welcomed by those interested in practical questions of transition in newly democratizing states. Christiano combines a broad coverage of important positions taken by others with the exposition of his own ideas, allowing his text to appeal to a wide range of readers, from introductory students to experienced scholars. Clear, accessible, and often elegant, The Rule of the Many is a splendid introduction to democratic theory, one that will take its place as both an important scholarly contribution and as an effective text.

- Christiano, T. (2024). EQUALITY. In The Routledge Companion to Social and Political Philosophy. doi:10.4324/9781003411598-55More infoThe idea that persons are equals is at the foundation of modern political thought and practice. Much of the impetus behind the abolition of slavery and colonialism, the rejection of the practice of the master race, of sexism, and of racism, as well as ethnic or national chauvinism, is grounded in the thought that all persons are equal. The fundamental ideas underpinning democracy and the practices of liberal rights, as well as the contemporary practice of international human rights, are explicitly based on the idea of the equality of persons. A dominant idea in contemporary moral and political philosophy is that all persons should be treated as equals.

In Political Epistemology. doi:10.1093/oso/9780192893338.003.0008More infoThis chapter vindicates democracy against recent criticism and shows how democracy can be improved and made more egalitarian. Critics argue that democracy is rule by the ignorant or by those who must appease the ignorant, basing this idea on an economic theory of information, backed by data suggesting widespread ignorance among citizens. They argue either for radically diminishing the size of the state or for rule by experts. But this pessimism is unfounded. There are good grounds for thinking that democracy can work well despite having to work in a context of low information decision-making. The critics point usefully to an underdeveloped aspect of political equality: the theory of citizen participation. To remedy this shortcoming, this chapter first argues for the instrumental and intrinsic values of democracy, relying on the expectation that citizens can act on the basis of adequate information about politics. Second, it critiques the crude model of citizen participation which is meant to undermine the expectation that citizens act on the basis of adequate information. Third, it proposes a collaborative conception of how citizens participate in a democracy and fourth, it suggests how democracy can be made more effective and egalitarian.

In Issues in Political Theory(p. 25). doi:10.1016/B978-0-08-097086-8.63017-9More infoNormative democratic theory deals with the ethical foundations of democracy and democratic institutions. It does not offer in the first instance a scientific study of those societies that are called democratic. It aims to provide an account of when and why democracy is ethically desirable as well as ethical principles for guiding the design of democratic institutions. It is inherently interdisciplinary and must call on the results of political science, sociology, and economics in order to give this kind of concrete guidance. This brief outline of normative democratic theory focuses attention on three distinct issues in recent work. First, it outlines some different approaches to the question of why democracy is morally desirable at all. Second, it explores the problem of the rationality of participation in large democratic societies given the inevitably small impact of participants on the outcomes. It also discusses blueprints of democratic institutions for dealing with this. Third, it surveys different accounts of the proper characterization of equality in the processes of representation. The last two parts display the interdisciplinary nature of normative democratic theory.

- Christiano, T. (2012). Money in Politics. In Oxford Handbook of Political Philosophy. Oxford. doi:10.1093/oxfordhb/9780195376692.013.0013More infoThis article discusses four basic mechanisms by which the expenditure of money can influence the political system: money for votes, money as gatekeeper, money as means for influencing public and legislative opinion, and money as independent political power. These four basic mechanisms correspond roughly to the four basic aspects of the democratic process. The first relates to the process of law and policymaking, the second to the setting of the agenda of this decision making, the third to the formation of opinion and preference, and the fourth to the independent social and economic constraints on successful policymaking. The article discusses the basic normative issues that arise for each of these mechanisms: corruption, inefficiency, distortion of the deliberative process, and political inequality. It then addresses some questions about the importance of political equality in assessing these mechanisms and the conflicts between political equality and free expression.

- Christiano, T. (2011). An egalitarian argument for a human right to democracy. In Human Rights: The Hard Questions(p. 22). Cambridge. doi:10.1017/CBO9780511758553.017More infoDemocracy is often defended on the grounds that it treats the members of society as equals by giving them an equal say in the process of collective decision-making. Yet the question remains of whether there is a human right to democracy or a right that ought to be realized in every society and that ought to receive the protection of the international community. What makes this a hard question is that it may seem that the human right to democracy is incompatible with the legitimate self-determination of peoples, at least when these peoples do not accept the egalitarianism at the heart of democracy (Cohen 2010). Elsewhere I have argued in favor of a human right to democracy by tying it instrumentally very closely with other human rights that are less controversial (Christiano 2011a). In this chapter I want to suggest that the traditional argument for democracy may provide the basis for a limited defense of a human right to democracy and that this argument holds even for those societies that do not accept the principle of equality. The general argument is very simple. It proceeds in two steps, which correspond to the two dimensions of human rights as I conceive of them. In the first step I give a general argument for democratic institutions in domestic societies. In the second step I proceed from the traditional democratic premise that people have a right to a say in the institutions that have serious effects on their lives, to the thought that individuals ought to have a say in the process of the construction of international institutions and law. But in the absence of the possibility of meaningful global democracy it is a necessary condition of persons participating as equals in the shaping of the international environment that they have an equal say in the political institutions of their society that participate in creating international law and in diplomatic relations with other societies.

- Christiano, T. (2022). Algorithms, Manipulation, and Democracy. Canadian Journal of Philosophy, 52(1). doi:10.1017/can.2021.29More infoAlgorithmic communications pose several challenges to democracy. The three phenomena of filtering, hypernudging, and microtargeting can have the effect of polarizing an electorate and thus undermine the deliberative potential of a democratic society. Algorithms can spread fake news throughout the society, undermining the epistemic potential that broad participation in democracy is meant to offer. They can pose a threat to political equality in that some people may have the means to make use of algorithmic communications and the sophistication to be immune from attempts at manipulation, while other people are vulnerable to manipulation by those who use these means. My concern here is with the danger that algorithmic communications can pose to political equality, which arises because most citizens must make decisions about what and who to support in democratic politics with only a sparse budget of time, money, and energy. Algorithmic communications such as hypernudging and microtargeting can be a threat to democratic participation when persons are operating in environments that do not conduce to political sophistication. This constitutes a deepening of political inequality. The political sophistication necessary to counter this vulnerability is rooted for many in economic life and it can and ought to be enhanced by changing the terms of economic life.
- Christiano, T. (2022). WORKER PARTICIPATION AND THE EGALITARIAN CONCEPTION OF FAIR MARKET EXCHANGE. Social Philosophy and Policy, 39(2), 25. doi:10.1017/S0265052523000225More infoI argue for an egalitarian conception of market exchange that places the idea of equal power at the center of a procedural evaluation of markets. I explain the fundamental concept of equal power in markets and show that the egalitarian conception gives us a remedial basis for society shaping markets so that they allow a significant place for worker participation in firms. I use the phrase “worker participation” to mean that workers participate in the authoritative direction of the firm. This can include collective bargaining and worker management to introduce the kind of flexibility that is desirable in regulating market economies. Worker participation is a remedy to the presence of rigidities in markets that strongly favor authoritarian firms and that follow from and maintain unequal power in markets. The argument differs from the traditional argument that draws a parallel between state and firm, and so does not entail a general requirement of worker participation. It allows for some degree of participation of owners of capital also in the governance of firms.

Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy, 23(3), 25. doi:10.1080/13698230.2019.1565715More infoAs it is currently legally constituted, the International Criminal Court has no jurisdiction over the world’s most important military powers–United States, China and Russia-for the most serious crimes that can be committed in the international system (unless their members commit the crimes on the territory of a state that has ratified the ICC). It is hard to see the restricted jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court as anything other than the bald placing of the most powerful members of the international political community above the law while the rest of the community remains subject to it. At the same time, one essential element of the legitimacy of the International Criminal Court is that it is founded on state consent. But this does not get the International Criminal Court entirely off the hook. I will argue that the circumscription of the jurisdiction of the court is arbitrary and in violation of fundamental norms of justice and that this threatens the legitimacy of the Court. We are facing a legitimacy dilemma between the need for state participation in the creation of international law and the requirements of the rule of law.

- Christiano, T. (2010). The uneasy relationship between democracy and capital. Social Philosophy and Policy, 27(1). doi:10.1017/S0265052509990082More infoThe basic question I want to ask is: can the exercise of private property rights abridge fundamental norms of democratic decision-making? And, under what conditions can it do so? To the extent that we view democratic decision making as required by justice, the issue is whether there is a deep tension between certain ways of exercising the rights of private property and that part of social justice that is characterized by democracy. To the extent that this tension holds, I will argue that commitment to democratic norms implies that private capitalist firms must cooperate with a democratic assembly and government in the pursuit of the aims of a democratic assembly even when this implies some diminution of the profits of the firms. The cooperation I have in mind goes beyond the norm of faithful compliance with the law. To be sure, there are limits to this requirement as we will see in the later part of the paper. To the extent that private capitalist firms fail to do this and partially undermine the pursuit of the aims of a democratic assembly, they act in a way that is incompatible with fundamental norms of democratic governance.
