Nonetheless, this “new medium”, and, in particular, its Web 2.0 version has become the cornerstone of communication strategies for both political parties and their candidates. Several questions emerge from the debate about the impact of the internet on political participation. First of all, the very concept of political participa- tion. Despite its importance in the theory of democracy, this concept is not always easy to define with rigor particularly when it comes to the form and boundaries of such participation. Actually, the ultimate issue is whether we are currently witnessing a “crisis of participation” or quite the contrary, the rise of alternative forms thereof. Secondly, the debate about the so-called “crisis of democracy” is also central when thinking about political participa- tion in our times. Democratic societies are experiencing a democratic deficit, to a large extend a crisis of confidence in traditional political parties, by which citizens feel misrepresented and hence alienated from righteous participation in their political destiny. These and similar questions are the pillars of an ongoing research pro- ject, entitled “New media and politics: citizen participation in the websites of Portuguese political parties”. Developed by a team of researchers from Lab- Com – a communication sciences research center located at the University of Beira Interior, this 3-year research project is funded by FCT, the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology. We consider that in the new media context, political parties’ websites might very well be a microcosm worthy of analysis. The websites have evolved through various stages and it is im- 1 i i i i i i i i 2 Political Participation and Web 2.0 portant to establish how these steps can be characterized and what the main differences to be found between them are. We anticipate to find that Web 2.0 contributed to a radical change of/in the structures and functioning of politi- cal parties’ websites; nevertheless, the ultimate question is whether Web 2.0 did indeed change the way citizens use those websites and ultimately how we participate in the building of our political destiny. The main objectives, methodology and expected results of the project are presented in the very first chapter of this book, which gives the motto for the following 11 chapters. It is worth mentioning that the majority of the chapters have resulted from the international conference held at UBI, on the 11-12th of October 2012. With the selected papers in this volume, we attempt to keep alive the debate that began in that conference – a very important milestone in our research project –, and to foster the work of the LabCom research team as well. “Political Participation and Web 2.0” is organized into four main parts. The first part of the book, “Citizenship and political participation”, is divi- ded into three chapters. António Fidalgo, from the University of Beira Inte- rior/LabCom, reflects on the concept of “Freedom as Participation”. In line with the thought of Isaiah Berlin, in particular, the concept of positive and negative freedom, the director of LabCom debates how under the banner of freedom, both right and left, liberalism and socialism, justify opposing politi- cal ideologies. The following chapter, “From Brochureware to ‘MyBo’: An Overview of Online Elections and Campaigning”, authored by Rachel Gibson from the University of Manchester, provides an overview of key findings and deba- tes that have emerged in literature regarding online campaigning. In parti- cular, whether modern-day electioneering is becoming a more participatory and grass-roots affair, and whether use of digital tools can actually affect the outcome of a race. The citizenship and political participation theme is also central in the chapter of Giovandro Ferreira, from UFBA, the Federal University of Bahia. In his text, the Brazilian researcher discusses how Web 2.0 strengthens and increases the participation of citizens. He highlights how citizens, agents that go beyond the usual intellectuals and journalism professionals, participate in the “collective act” of constructing a journalistic event, in the current public space of media. www.livroslabcom.ubi.pt i i i i i i i i Paulo Serra, Eduardo Camilo e Gisela Gonçalves (Edit.) 3 The second main part of the book focuses its attention on “Political parties and democracy”. The first chapter, “Participation and alternative democracy”, is authored by Peter Dahlgren, emeritus professor at Lund University (Swe- den), who looks at some key contingencies of political economy, technology, and socio-cultural patterns and how they impact the spaces of online partici- pation and the forms of identity that they foster. Dahlgren notes in particular the emergence of what he calls the “solo sphere” as a mode of participation that has debilitating consequences for alternative politics. The following chapter explores the relationship between parties and new media, with a particular focus on Portugal. Carlos Jalali, from the Univer- sity of Aveiro, argues that new media may constitute new means for parties to overcome their weakening social ties, but that is by no means an inevitable outcome. Rather, the usage of new media by political parties can also repro- duce the types of interaction seen in other contexts, reflecting the supply-side constraints generated by contemporary party systems. While these strategies may be rational for political parties individually, the externalities in terms of the quality of democracy are far from positive. The quality of democracy is also central to the chapter by Daniela Sam- paio, from the University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro. In line with Ro- bert Putnam’s thesis that the greater the associative participation of citizens the stronger the Democracy is, the author presents a picture of Portuguese as- sociativism – stressing its weak activity –, and discusses its relation with the phenomenon of the new social movements. In the 3rd part of the book special attention is paid to “Political commu- nication in the Internet Age”. All three chapters included are authored by re- searchers from LabCom and are all both theoretically and empirically driven. Nuno Francisco presents a reflection about the “sound bite”: an expression used to characterize a brief statement with an immediate and precise impact, created to fit perfectly as a newspaper title or headline or as the perfect mea- sure to open the television news. The author wonders how new media contri- bute to a new era of political communication, without mediation from the jour- nalistic sphere. Eduardo Camilo and Rudolfo Silva use a case-study approach to debate the existing relations between new media and traditional media with regard to how the opinion published in digital environments can transform it- self into an opinion published in an editorial environment of the journalistic field. Elsa Simão and Rosália Rodrigues developed a content analysis of the Livros LabCom i i i i i i i i 4 Political Participation and Web 2.0 two main Portuguese party websites used in a campaign period in order to reflect about the new “2.0 communicative” possibilities and challenges. Finally, the 4th and last part of this book presents two different “Models of analysis” on the Portuguese websites of political parties with parliamentary representation. By studying the political parties’ websites in relation to the in- formation, interaction, mobilization and sophistication dimensions, Catarina Silva, from the University of Aveiro, inferred a relationship in the use of online pages with a partisan typology. In the last chapter, Joaquin del Ramo, from the University of Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid, also presents a multiple dimensi- onal analysis of the participatory tools available on websites.

  • Technopopulism: the Emergence of a Discursive Formation
    tripleC 15(2): 441-458, 2017 http://www.triple-c.at Technopopulism: The Emergence of a Discursive Formation Marco Deseriis Northeastern University, Boston, USA, [email protected], http://neu.academia.edu/MarcoDeseriis Abstract: This article contends that technopopulism is a discursive formation that emerges from the convergence of two preexisting discourses: populism and technolibertarianism. Whereas these discourses are historically distinct the 2008 financial crisis and the 2011 wave of struggles precipitated the political conditions for their intersection. Such convergence produces both tensions and possibilities. On the one hand, technopopulism engenders a radically participatory model of democracy, which is ultimately anti-institutional as citizens cooperate and engage in sophisticated decision-making without the mediation of professional politicians. On the other hand, the more electorally successful technopopulist parties are led by charismatic leaders who synthesize the positions that emerge from the netroots to mobi- lize them against the establishment. These two seemingly contradictory aspects precipitate in two variants of technopopulism: a leaderless-technocratic variant, which is derived from the open source mode of governance and from early experiments of the Global Justice Movement in networked self-government; and a leaderist-populist variant, which is more strictly focused on the electoral competition as an intrinsically hegemonic practice. The article concludes with a reflection on the discursive complementarity of these two variants. Keywords: technopopulism, technolibertarianism, populism, electronic democracy, social media activism, Global Justice Movement, Free and Open Source Software, Podemos, Five Star Movement, Occupy Technopopulism is the belief that the “government of the people, by the people, for the people” (Lincoln 1953 [1863]) is achievable by means of information communica- tions technology.

  • Joaquín Roy and María Lorca-Susino Spain in the European Union
    “Spain is the problem. Europe is the solution”. In this fashion Ortega y Gasset (1986-2011) Years Twenty-Five the First Union: Spain in the European once dramatized the need to “Europeanize” Spain. The results over the first twenty five years of EU membership have been truly impressive. When Spain became a member of the EC, some of the best and brightest of Spain’s govern- mental cadres and universities joined the expanded European institutions, taking on positions of responsibility. The most prominent chaired the European Court of Justice (Gil-Carlos Rodríguez Iglesias) and the Parliament (Enrique Barón, José- María Gil Robles, and Josep Borrell), holding key positions in the Commission, and filling the newly created position of High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy (Javier Solana). Spain, in sum, “was not different”, contrary to what old-fashion tourist publicity for the country used to say. It was a European country like any other that was returning to its natural home after a long exile. Spain, in turn, received considerable benefits from EU membership through funds for regional investment policies, agriculture and rural develop- ment, and the modernisation of national infrastructure. From an index of 60 percent of the European average in 1986, today Spain’s income per head is in the range of 105 percent, with some regions surpassing 125 percent. From being a country that was a net receiver from the EU budget, Spain today is a net contributor. Reflecting this development, the present volume examines different di- mensions of the deepening relationship between Spain and the rest of Europe through membership of the EU (its history, and its impact on policy development on economic growth and on relations with third countries).

  • Entity Linking with Distributional Semantics
    Entity Linking with Distributional Semantics Pablo Gamallo1 and Marcos Garcia2? 1 Centro Singular de Investigaci´onen Tecnolox´ıasda Informaci´on(CiTIUS) Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, Galiza, Spain [email protected] 2 Grupo LyS, Dep. de Galego-Portugu^es,Franc^ese Lingu´ıstica Universidade da Coru~na,Galiza, Spain [email protected] c Springer-Verlag Abstract. Entity Linking (EL) consists in linking name mentions in a given text with their referring entities in external knowledge bases such as DBpedia/Wikipedia. In this paper, we propose an EL approach whose main contribution is to make use of a knowledge base built by means of distributional similarity. More precisely, Wikipedia is transformed into a manageable database structured with similarity relations between en- tities. Our EL method is focused on a specific task, namely semantic annotation of documents by extracting those relevant terms that are linked to nodes in DBpedia/Wikipedia. The method is currently work- ing for four languages. The Portuguese and English versions have been evaluated and compared against other EL systems, showing competitive range, close to the best systems. Keywords: Entity Linking, Semantic Annotation, Term Extraction 1 Introduction Entity Linking (EL) puts in relation mentions of entities within a text with their corresponding entities or concepts in an external knowledge resource. Typically, entity mentions are proper names and domain specific terms which can be linked to Wikipedia pages. Most EL methods include three basic subtasks: i) extrac- tion of the terms likely to be entity mentions in the input text, by using Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques such as tokenization and multiword ex- traction; ii) selection of the entity candidates: each mention is associated to a set of entities in the external resource; and iii) selection of the best entity candidate for each mention by making use of disambiguation strategies.

  • The Emergence of Noopolitik: Toward an American Information Strategy
    The Emergence of Noopolitik Toward an American Information Strategy John Arquilla David Ronfeldt National Defense Research Institute R FIGURE Three Realms of Information ................... 16 TABLES 1. Information Realms Across Three Levels .......... 17 2. Contrast Between Realpolitik and Noopolitik ....... 47 vii SUMMARY Information and communications have always been important to strategy. But they are changing from subsidiary to singular con- cerns—“information” matters more than ever for reasons that did not exist even 20 years ago. One reason is technological innovation: the growth of a vast new information infrastructure—including not only the Internet, but also cable systems, direct broadcast satellites, cellular phones, etc.—in which the balance is shifting away from one-to-many broadcast media (e.g., traditional radio and television) toward many-to-many interactive media. In many nations a grow- ing, though varied, population is enjoying an ease of entry and access to the new infrastructure for commercial, social, diplomatic, military, and other interactions. This easy access is resulting in a huge in- crease in global interconnectivity. A second reason is the proliferation of new organizations: Vast ar- rays of state and nonstate organizations are emerging that directly concern information and communications issues. A third reason why information and communications have become more important is that “information” and “power” are becoming increasingly inter- twined. Across many political, economic, and military areas, informational “soft power” is taking precedence over traditional, material “hard power.” The new field known as “information strategy” is emerging around two poles, which define opposite ends of a spectrum of security con- cerns. One is an essentially technological pole, that of cyberspace safety and security.

While it is too early to say precisely what a cyberocracy will look like, the outcomes will include new kinds of democratic, totalitarian, and hybrid governments, along with new kinds of state-society relations. Thus, optimism about the information revolution should be tempered by an anticipation of its potential dark side. This paper reiterates the view of the cyberocracy concept as first stated in 1992, and then offers a postscript for 2008. It speculates that information-age societies will develop new sensory apparatuses, a network-based social sector, new modes of networked governance, and ultimately the cybercratic nexus-state as a successor to the nation-state. This is the version of the paper that has been available at www.ssrn.com since January 2009.
