Abstract
Political leaders drawing on expertise in a crisis face two temptations: one is to dismiss unwelcome expert claims as politically motivated; another is to mask expert disagreement altogether. We show that protecting and promoting open disagreement among diverse sets of expert advisers can both improve the quality of expert advice and make it harder for political leaders to blur the lines between expert advice and political judgments. We highlight the importance of institutional design in managing the politics of expert advice.
