>From the Introduction: The hopes of past generations of hackers weigh like
a delirium on the brains of the newbies. Back in the days when Bulletin
Board Systems metamorphosed
into the Internet, the world's digital communications networks - hitherto
confined to military, corporate and elite academic institutions - were at
grasping reach of ordinary
individuals. To declare the independence of the Internet from nation states
and the corporate world seemed like no more than stating the bare facts.
Even encrypted communication
- the brainchild of military research - had leaked into the public's hands
and had become a tool wielded against state power. Collectives of all
stripes could make use of the new
possibilities offered by the Web to bypass traditional media, broadcast
their own voice and assemble in new ways in this new public sphere. For
some time, at least, the Internet
as a whole embodied "alternativeness."

[liberationtech] IDEA: Crisis in Representation

2016-10-03 Thread Steven Clift 
An interesting article by the head of Stockholm-based International
Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA) about
political parties in the digital era.

See:
http://po.st/crisisrepresentation

The digitalization of all aspects of our lives has contributed to
dramatically change the context for inter-personal and political
communication, agenda-setting and policy-making. Today’s digitally
connected world is characterized by the high speed of information and
communication flows, which reinforces the increasingly globalized
nature of our societies and contributes to “horizontalize” the
relations between citizens and elected representatives. However, many
traditional political parties originate in the 19th century, and still
use 20th century tools to face 21st century challenges. This is
creating an increasing disconnect between citizens and political
parties, which is often referred to as “the crisis of representation”.
