This lecture explains how experimental economics can shed new light on the functioning of "democracy". I draw on examples
from my own research to illustrate advantages and problems of making collective choices through voting. The lecture discusses
the role of institutions and emphasises the interplay of "rational" and "behavioural" factors.
