Decision-Making by Drawing Lots in the Middle Ages and Early Modernity (C03)

抽签将决策从理性权衡选项中分离出来，并将其转移到相关行为者无法进入的外部层面。然而，它可以作为一种战略上使用的程序要素。该项目研究了在前现代集体决策过程的框架中如何应用地段，特别是精神办公室和市政委员会的选举。它探讨了它们的前提、框架条件、目标和效果。

Drawing lots separates decision-making from the rational weighing of options and shifts it to an external level not accessible to the actors involved. Nevertheless, it can serve as a strategically used element of procedure. This project examines how lots have been applied in the framework of pre-modern processes of collective decision-making and the election of spiritual offices and municipal councils in particular. It inquires into their presuppositions, framing conditions, objectives and effects.
