In response, IRI has initiated more comprehensive governance programs, from the local to the national level, so that President Reagan’s speech was a turning point in U.S. foreign policy and helped people see democracy’s tangible benefits in between elections. As you will read in this chart a new course for our country and the world. At the time his ideas were report, such programs emphasize the responsibilities of the governing to deliver, and the citizenry to hold them accountable. Ultimately, these new programs will reinforce seen as radical and naive. Leonid Brezhnev was the leader of the Soviet Union, an understanding of the advantages of democracy over other forms of government. Poland was under martial law and Václav Havel was in a Czech prison. However, One of the many tasks of a new democracy is to involve all citizens in the country’s less than a decade later, the Berlin Wall fell, the Soviet Union collapsed, political life. IRI’s Women’s Democracy Network (WDN), begun in , is tangibly millions in former communist countries were choosing freedom and democracy helping women in many countries take their rightful role. The WDN is now being supplemented by IRI programs to engage other traditionally disenfranchised groups, for their future, and Václav Havel was President of Czechoslovakia. such as minorities and the disabled, in determining their country’s future. Of course, many nations have not yet become free, and democrats in those countries History has shown us that the argument that our advocacy of democratic values seek IRI’s help. IRI continues to offer our traditional assistance, working with is reckless or in vain, or that freedom only works for wealthy nations or Western democratic political parties to advance their nation’s democracy. cultures is wrong. President Reagan believed in a world where our political and IRI takes great pride in America’s democratic experience, but we also recognize that no system can translate directly to another nation. Since , we have encouraged economic values could be global ideals and because of his vision we have moved closer other nations and institutions to support democrats in third countries. IRI’s new to “a world in which all people are at last free to determine their own destiny.” partnerships enable budding democrats worldwide to hear a variety of other more recent experiences in democratic struggle, transition and governance. Ironically, at a time when some in the United States are questioning whether our country should Senator John McCain support democrats abroad, these efforts are meeting with great enthusiasm and success. Chairman International Republican Institute Republican Presidents from Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush, and our own Chairman, John McCain, have placed a great emphasis on America’s responsibility to support freedom abroad. As the challenges change, IRI will continue to evolve, always bringing to bear the best our nation -- and others -- can offer. Lorne Craner President International Republican Institute 2 3 Meeting the Challenge or nearly 25 years, the International Republican Institute’s (IRI) staff and volunteers have been meeting the challenge set forth Fby President Ronald Reagan in his 1982 speech to the British Parliament. By working to strengthen political parties, supporting good governance in new and transitioning democracies, increasing the participation of women and marginalized groups in the political process and enlisting new partners in this important work, IRI is “fostering the infrastructures of democracy.” In its infancy, IRI focused on planting the seeds of democracy in Latin America. Since the end of the Cold War, IRI has broadened its reach to support democracy and freedom around the globe, conducting programs in more than 100 countries. When IRI began its work, advancing democracy was seen as a noble endeavor. Today, it is seen as a strategic imperative and a defense against terrorism. By strengthening the institutions of democracy, IRI is meeting President Reagan’s challenge. Top: A Macedonian woman, considering running for offi ce, practices giving a television interview.

  • Netiquette: Miss Manners for the Web
    4 Netiquette: Miss Manners for the Web Welcome to the world of the new influencers. The reason the social web is sometimes called the “wild west” is that we’re still working out the kinks of how best to communicate with one another online. The rules of conduct may not be set in stone, but the social web isn’t a total free-for-all either. You should be aware of some key, often mystifying, communi- cations protocols before striking up conversations with the locals. This chapter provides some lessons Friends with Benefits (C) 2009 by Darren Barefoot and Julie Szabo on how to communicate with new influencers—bloggers, YouTube stars, Facebook friend magnets, and Digg superstars. Think of this chapter as finishing school for Internet communication. If you understand the social innuendo, you’ve got a much better chance of breaking into the inner circle and getting mentioned or reviewed by powerful online influencers who can send thousands of visitors—and potential buyers—your way. We will run through a variety of communications techniques here, but if you take one lesson from this chapter, take this: Listen first. Thankfully, nearly all new influencer communications occur in the Internet’s public forum, so you can adopt an anthropological approach. By emulating the influencers’ behavior and learning their dialect, you can be confident when you approach them. As Jane Goodall discovered, the best way to learn about a species is to live among them. So you’re going to start being active online right now. Have your computer in front of you while you read this chapter, because we’re going to put you to work.

  • Compared to Any Other Dossier, Lobbying Against the European Data
    Image By: Kenna Bonner http://www.lifethroughpictures.com/ Creative Comons Attribution-NonCommercial 2.5 ompared to any other dossier, lobbying against the European data protection reform has taken unprecedented Cproportions. Shortly after the publication of the Commission proposal, Vice-President Reding told the UK newspaper The Daily Telegraph that the proposed privacy rules were subject to the most aggressive lobbying she has ever witnessed. Since the beginning of the legislative process in the EU Parliament in early 2013, lobbying efforts have only intensified. Pressure by the US government In December 2011, only days before the publication by of the proposal by the EU Commission, the United States Department of Commerce (DoC) launched a significant lobbying campaign. The campaign included high-level phone calls from senior figures in the US DoC to top level staff in the European Commission covering topics such as US business, multilateral and bilateral treaty organizations, traveller information, national security, law enforcement, trade and innovation. Partly as a result, this campaign lead to a watering down of the first draft by Commissioner Reding's staff. Between then and now, months of aggressive lobbying - especially by the US Chamber of Commerce - ensued, have recently culminated with threats of the Regulation (in its current form) sparking a "trade war". In January 2013, the US produced yet another lobbying paper to influence the European Union's decision making on European citizens' fundamental right to privacy and data protection. Data Protection \ Lobbying Industry lobbying & astroturfing resistance against the reform Many of the largest companies are undertaking a lot of lobbying in their own name and via trade associations, which is what one would expect.

  • Astroturfing Infotopia
    Astroturfing Infotopia Forthcoming, Theoria Gerry Mackie University of California, San Diego 9500 Gilman Dr., MC0521 La Jolla, CA 92093-0521, USA [email protected] March 2008 2 Introduction. The deliberative approach reigns in democratic theory. Yet, the institutional recommendations of deliberative democracy do not go far beyond the injunction to increase group discussion, in its sites, in its duration, and in the number of persons and issues involved. Actual deliberation, let’s say, is an institution of group discussion generally expected to yield benefits, in terms of all relevant values, more worthy than the costs. Who could be against that? Increasing discussion, however, is not the same as increasing deliberation: group discussion can have quite undesirable effects, or if positive in effect can still cost more than it’s worth. Thus, theoretical and empirical attempts to clarify the benefits and costs of group discussion in democratic politics are welcome. So far, the empirical results are mixed (Delli Carpini et al., 2004, Mendelberg 2002, Mutz 2006, McCubbins and Rodriguez 2006, Steiner et al. 2004, and others). Cass Sunstein’s Infotopia (2006) adds to worries about the benefits and costs of group discussion, and identifies novel methods of information aggregation that might usefully complement it in political democracy and elsewhere. Habermas’ ideal speech situation is an animating idea of deliberative democracy: where discussion is public and open to all, participants argue sincerely, each enjoys an equal right to participate, as Sunstein (2006) says, and, among other things, where there is an open agenda, no time and cost constraints, always the option to move the deliberation to a more reflective level, and unanimous agreement.
