  • Digital Media and the Arab Spring Philip N. Howard & Muzammil M
    Digital Media and the Arab Spring Philip N. Howard & Muzammil M. Hussain Philip N. Howard is associate professor at the University of Washington. He is the author of The Digital Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy: Information Technology and Political Islam (2010). Muzammil M. Hussain is a doctoral student in communication at the University of Washington. As has often been noted in these pages, one world region has been practically untouched by the third wave of democratization: North Africa and the Middle East. The Arab world has lacked not only democracy, but even large popular movements pressing for it. In December 2010 and the first months of 2011, however, this situation changed with stunning speed. Massive and sustained public demonstrations demanding political reform cascaded from Tunis to Cairo, Sana’a, Amman, and Manama. This inspired people in Casablanca, Damascus, Tripoli, and dozens of other cities to take to the streets to call for change. By May, major political casualties littered the ground: Tunisia’s Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali and Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak, two of the region’s oldest dictators, were gone; the Libyan regime of Muammar Qadhafi was battling an armed rebellion that had taken over half the country and attracted NATO help; and several monarchs had sacked their cabinets and committed to constitutional reforms. Governments around the region had sued for peace by promising their citizens hundreds of billions of dollars in new spending of various kinds. Morocco and Saudi Arabia appeared to be fending off serious domestic uprisings, but as of this writing in May 2011, the outcomes for regimes in Bahrain, Jordan, Syria, and Yemen remain far from certain.

  • Pirates of the Australian Election Matthew Rimmer, Australian National University College of Law
    Queensland University of Technology From the SelectedWorks of Matthew Rimmer March 26, 2013 Pirates of the Australian Election Matthew Rimmer, Australian National University College of Law Available at: https://works.bepress.com/matthew_rimmer/151/ Pirates of the Australian Election The Global Mail Dr Matthew Rimmer “Pirate parties” have proliferated across Europe and North America in the past decade, championing issues such as intellectual property (IP), freedom of speech, and the protection of privacy and anonymity. This year, the movement hit Australian shores: The Pirate Party Australia was officially registered by the Australian Electoral Commission in January 2013. (You can read its principles and platform here.) “More than ever before, there is a necessity in Australia for a party that holds empowerment, participation, free culture and openness as its central tenets”, Pirate Party founder Rodney Serkowski said in a press release announcing the group’s successful registration. Their first test will be this year’s federal election, scheduled for September 14, in which the fledgling party will contest Senate seats in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria. There has been much political discussion as to how Pirate Party Australia will fare in September’s poll. The Swedish Piratpartiet has two members in the European Parliament. The German Pirate Party has won seats in regional and municipal elections. The Czech Pirate Party had a member elected to the national parliament. But pirate parties contesting elections in the United Kingdom and North American have failed to make an electoral impact. Will Pirate Party Australia emulate the success of its European counterparts? Or will the Pirate Party Australia struggle to gain attention and votes as a micro-party in a crowded field? They might find that the times suit them: this year’s election is shaping up as a battle royal over IP.

  • General Election 2015 Candidate Views on Shooting Sports & Firearms Ownership
    General Election 2015 Candidate Views on Shooting Sports & Firearms Ownership Firearms UK is an Association campaigning for the protection of firearms ownership within the UK. Primary objectives are to encourage unity and positive action within the shooting community and to promote and defend individual firearms ownership and the shooting sports. In the lead up to the 2015 General Election we canvased the parliamentary candidates for their views on shooting sports and firearms ownership. We sent an email questionnaire asking seven questions; 1. Do you believe in a total ban on private firearms ownership? 2. Do you believe that private firearms ownership should face greater restrictions? 3. Do you believe the current system is balanced/there is no need for change? 4. Do you support all forms of currently legal shooting in the UK? (If there are exceptions please state) 5. Would you oppose any moves to further restrict private firearms ownership/use in the UK? 6. Do you believe that our firearms laws are in need of reformation and sensible relaxation? 7. If you support UK citizen’s rights to participate in shooting sports do you also support changing the law to permit .22 rimfire pistols to be used for competitive shooting thus allowing ordinary UK citizens to properly train to enable them to compete in international events such as the Olympic and Commonwealth games? We obtained a database of candidate’s details from www.yournextmp.com. The database contained email addresses for 3361 of the 3969 candidates listed. Unfortunately, 183 of these email addresses were incorrect. We managed to correct some of these and sent a follow up email to the candidates.

Democratic role of political parties Executive Summary This chapter reviews the available evidence relating to the five 'search questions’ concerned with the democratic role of political parties in the UK. Our analysis in this chapter identifies a number of changes and continuities since our last full Audit of UK democracy. These are summarised below under three separate headings: (a) areas of improvement; (b) areas of continuing concerns; and (c) areas of new or emerging concern. (a) Areas of improvement 1. Party campaigns are reaching more voters. Survey data suggests that political parties are reaching more voters through campaigning than they were in 1979. There are clear long-term increases in the proportion of the electorate claiming to have received a leaflet from a political party, as well as in the percentage who have seen party advertising on billboards (see Figure 2.2e). However, it is almost certain that this apparent success in reaching more voters at election time is a by-product of record levels of election spending by political parties from the late 1980s onwards - a development which we highlight in Section 2.1.3 as a significant concern.

  • Pirate Party 2017 Manifesto
    OUR OPEN MANIFESTO FOR THE SNAP GENERAL ELECTION SNAP GENERAL ELECTION 8th JUNE 2017 ABOUT THIS MANIFESTO I thought I had tried it all and that political parties were no longer useful. The main parties seldom represent my views and seem to already have their own agendas carved out in stone (sometimes literally). I joined the Pirate Party when I saw a truly different voice pointing out the faults and offering a real alternative to the established old parties. Make no mistake: our freedoms are being eroded and our digital rights are under attack. Either the major parties don’t understand the problems we face, or worse, they're the cause of them. I realised this wouldn’t change until people like me, people like you, got into front-line politics. We need engaged citizens - not the same, tired old career politicians. If they refuse to listen to us, we will make them listen. We’ve forged a manifesto built from your ideas. A truly open manifesto that is built from the bottom up and not from the top down. We crowd source a wide range of ideas and present that to government, instead of government turning up on your doorstep to tell you what you should believe. You have all made your own mark here. Together we’ve formed policy fit for the 21st century: protecting the NHS and expanding it with radical patent reform; abolishing tuition fees so education is free to all; and going even further, reshaping copyright so knowledge itself will be opened up. Our tax system needs fixing, and we need jobs to pay for the work put into them.

Auf den Inhalt kommt es an KANDIDATEN Programm | 10 Debatten | 20 Piratenwelt | 34 Vorwort Herzlich willkommen zur dritten Flaschenpost Print-Ausgabe! Die Piraten sind eine internationale Bewegung. Seit der Gründung der ersten „Piratpartiet“ in Schweden im Jahr 2006 haben sich Piraten in über 60 Ländern rund um Globus zusammengefunden um sich gemeinsam unsere politischen Ziele zu vertreten. Mehr als die Hälfte all dieser Piratenparteien gründete sich in Europa und bilden schon heute eine starke Gemeinschaft. Nun schließen sich diese Parteien sogar unter einer Flagge zusammen, um gemeinsam ins Europäische Parlament einzuziehen. Natürlich brauchte es dafür ein auch gemeinsames Programm, dass die erfolgreichen Piratenabgeordneten dort vertreten können. Bereits in sechzehn Ländern haben die Piraten dieses gemeinsame Programm verabschiedet: Wir werden gemeinsam in ganz Europa für Bürgerbeteiligung, Open Government, Transparenz, Datenschutz, Flüchtlingspolitik, Urheberrecht, Freie Kultur und Freies Wissen und natürlich Netz- politik eintreten. Bis es soweit ist, steht allerdings erstmal der nächste Wahlkampf an; bis zur Europa- wahl am 25. Mai. Das Ziel ist ein gemeinsamer Wahlkampf, ein gemeinsamer Erfolg.

  • Technoliberalism in Iceland: the Fog of Information Infrastructure
    Technoliberalism in Iceland: The Fog of Information Infrastructure Julian von Bargen York University Adam Fish University of New South Wales ABSTRACT Background In the wake of the 2007–2008 financial crisis in Iceland, some citizens believed the calamity was the outcome of a cultural of secrecy among the political and financial elites. Analysis By examining an effort to legislate for a “data haven” in Iceland, this article dis - cusses a shift in how data activists attempted to achieve data justice. This shift challenges ex - isting ideas about cyberlibertarian and technoliberal approaches to social change. In attempting to address the inequalities inherent to the centralization of data and the internet, data activists moved away from advocacy and adopted two previously rejected strategies: formal political organizing and territorial authority. Conclusion and implications Activism for data equity was insufficient to counter existing data power in Iceland. What comes after technoliberalism? Keywords The internet; Information and media reform; Data activism; Data justice; Data power; Technoliberalism; Cyberlibertarianism RÉSUMÉ Contexte Suivant la crise financière de 2007-2008 en Islande, certains citoyens se mirent à penser que ce désastre était le résultat d’une culture du secret parmi les élites politiques et financières du pays. Analyse Par l’examen d’efforts pour légiférer un « havre de données » en Islande, cet article discute d’un changement dans la manière dont des militants ont tenté d’établir un accès plus juste aux données. Ce changement pose un défi à des idées courantes prônant une approche cyberlibertaire et technolibérale envers le changement social. Les militants, en tentant de s’adresser aux inégalités inhérentes à la centralisation des données et d’internet, se sont éloignés du plaidoyer pour adopter deux stratégies rejetées antérieurement : l’organisation politique formelle et l’autorité territoriale.
