Autorenporträt
Like Jean-Charles de Borda, Peter Emerson was initially a naval officer. After nine years in conventional submarines, he resigned his (British) commission to teach maths and physics in a school for the poor in Nairobi. It was here in Kenya, and later in Rwanda, that he questioned the basis of Western democratic structures: majority voting and majority rule. Then, in 1975, this son of an Irish Protestant father and English Catholic mother moved to Belfast, where, as in Africa, binary voting was seen to be both inaccurate and inadequate. He is now the Director of the de Borda Institute, working in conflict zones and developing countries: the Balkans, the Caucasus, East Africa and most recently, China.
