Abstract
Public management, sector politics and generally the entire public politics should not bethe spheres for utopian dreams. They are almost entirely pragmatic, detailed and often notthrilling. They are the domain of practitioners and experts, who have a special influence onthe public decisions. The article considers especially these issues of co-decision making,which are related to expert knowledge. It is undoubtedly needed, but its excess influence canlead to instating a new kind of domination – one built on a scientifically or organizationallycertified expert knowledge. The epistocracy created this way is considered here as an antiutopiain public management; the text includes the argumentation against it, and the remedyto it is seen in co-decision making.Key words: epistocracy, public management, deliberation
