Editor's Note:
Politieke ambten zijn de enige functies waarvoor je in Nederland geen papieren nodig hebt. Lekenbestuur vormt immers de kern van de democratie. Elke burger heeft het recht om zich verkiesbaar te stellen, elke burger kan wethouder of minister worden, ongeacht zijn formele kwalificaties. Zo was het in Athene, de bakermat van de democratie, en zo staat het ook in onze Grondwet.De praktijk is inmiddels volstrekt anders. Nederland is een diplomademocratie, een land dat wordt bestuurd door de burgers met de hoogste diploma’s. Alle formele en informele politieke instituties en arena’s, variërend van Kamer en kabinet, belangenorganisaties en overlegorganen, tot inspraakavonden en internetacties, worden gedomineerd door hoger opgeleiden en professionals.Diplomademocratie beschrijft hoe de lager opgeleiden uit de politiek verdwenen, wat de oorzaken hiervan zijn, wat dit betekent voor het politieke landschap en voor de democratie in ons land, en wat je hieraan zou kunnen doen.Mark Bovens (1957) is politiek filosoof en bestuurskundige en hoogleraar bestuurskunde aan de Universiteit Utrecht. Hij heeft veel gepubliceerd over democratie, bestuur en politiek.Anchrit Wille (1960) is politicoloog en bestuurskundige en als senior docent/onderzoeker verbonden aan de Universiteit Leiden. Ze heeft veel gepubliceerd over burgerparticipatie, politiek-ambtelijke verhoudingen en vertrouwen in de overheid.
