  • How an Army of Techies Is Taking on City Hall
    How an Army of Techies Is Taking on City Hall By: Anya Kamenetz, November 29, 2010 Fast Company, December 2010/Januarry 2011 Still waiting for a full reboot in Washington, D.C., an army of citizen techies is redefining civic engagement on a hyperlocal level. Ben Berkowitz had a problem. His block of State Street, an expanse of charming storefronts and wood-frame houses that stretches from the border of Yale's campus into New Haven's grittier East Rock neighborhood, kept getting hit with graffiti. The 31-year- old did everything a good citizen was supposed to do: He called the city. He left multiple voice mails. He urged his neighbor to speak up. Eventually, he founded the Upper State Street Association to foster neighborhood pride. But still, the spray paint lingered. "I was feeling that helplessness when you've left three messages, you don't know what the resolution is going to be, and you don't have a way to hold anyone accountable," he says. A programmer by trade, Berkowitz sought a technological outlet for his frustrations. What if reporting graffiti or a broken traffic light or a clogged storm drain was as easy as snapping a photo with your mobile phone? What if that report was sent directly to all the groups that might give a damn, including city hall, the police department, the local utility company, and the neighborhood watch? Even better, what if all your neighbors could see those nearby reports and lend their own voices to apply pressure and get problems fixed? His solution, SeeClickFix, launched in beta in March 2008.

    IS DEMOCRACY IN TROUBLE? According to many scholars, modern liberal democracy has advanced in waves. But liberal democracy has also had its set- backs.

  • The Two Faces of Populism: Between Authoritarian and Democratic Populism
    German Law Journal (2019), 20, pp. 390–400 doi:10.1017/glj.2019.20 ARTICLE The two faces of populism: Between authoritarian and democratic populism Bojan Bugaric* (Received 18 February 2019; accepted 20 February 2019) Abstract Populism is Janus-faced; simultaneously facing different directions. There is not a single form of populism, but rather a variety of different forms, each with profoundly different political consequences. Despite the current hegemony of authoritarian populism, a much different sort of populism is also possible: Democratic and anti-establishment populism, which combines elements of liberal and democratic convic- tions. Without understanding the political economy of the populist revolt, it is difficult to understand the true roots of populism, and consequently, to devise an appropriate democratic alternative to populism. Keywords: authoritarian populism; democratic populism; Karl Polanyi; political economy of populism A. Introduction There is a tendency in current constitutional thinking to reduce populism to a single set of universal elements. These theories juxtapose populism with constitutionalism and argue that pop- ulism is by definition antithetical to constitutionalism.1 Populism, according to this view, under- mines the very substance of constitutional (liberal) democracy. By attacking the core elements of constitutional democracy, such as independent courts, free media, civil rights and fair electoral rules, populism by necessity degenerates into one or another form of non-democratic and authori- tarian order. In this article, I argue that such an approach is not only historically inaccurate but also norma- tively flawed. There are historical examples of different forms of populism, like the New Deal in the US, which did not degenerate into authoritarianism and which actually helped the American democracy to survive the Big Depression of the 1930s.

Premessa (2008) Alla fine degli anni '90, stanco dei bootleg, Robert Fripp decise di commercializzare ufficialmente alcuni live dei King Crimson su cd, muovendo dal presupposto che, se fino a quel momento i fan avevano acquistato materiale del gruppo dal vivo di scarsa qualità, facendo guadagnare esclusivamente biechi 2 / 10 King Crimson Collectors' Club (1969-1974) Scritto da Gianluca Livi Mercoledì 30 Marzo 2016 19:23 imprenditori pirata, poteva egli stesso vendere le medesime esibizioni, ufficializzandone l'uscita sul mercato discografico e, congiuntamente, perseguendo anche un (legittimo) fine di lucro. Poiché anche parte delle registrazioni in suo possesso erano qualitativamente scadenti, conscio dell'impossibilità di immetterle nel mercato senza suscitare polemiche, decise di distribuirle solo agli iscritti di un club, il cosiddetto “Collector's Club”. Coloro che vi avessero aderito, previo versamento di una cifra iniziale abbastanza consistente, avrebbero ricevuto i titoli pubblicati di volta in volta, vedendosi scalato il valore di ogni singolo disco dalla quota d'iscrizione. L'iniziativa andò avanti con ottimi risultati fino al 2002, quando - abbandonato definitivamente il metodo dell'iscrizione al Club - i cd furono inseriti nel catalogo della DGM, unitamente ad album ufficiali dei Crimson e di altri artisti della scuderia.

  • Living Our Democratic Values
    Living Our Democratic Values Protecting human rights and upholding democratic values has been a perennial goal for presidents of both major political parties in the United States. Yet the current administration has abandoned our democratic allies and values by embracing authoritarian leaders, enabling corruption, and engaging in a transactional foreign policy. The next administration must take immediate steps to reverse harmful policies and halt human rights violations in U.S. domestic and foreign policy, demonstrating through words and deeds a renewed commitment to living our values. ›› 31 Center for American Progress | The First 100 Days: Living Our Democratic Values Over successive administrations, the United States has strived—however imperfectly— to uphold democratic values. Yet the current administration has actively undermined those values, damaging America’s democratic institutions and attacking the very idea of universal human rights.1 President Donald Trump has coddled dictators and repudi- ated America’s most reliable treaty allies.2 In the process, his administration has hobbled America’s ability to pursue its founding principles at home and abroad. Rebuilding America’s support for democracy and respect for human rights will take serious time and energy, and the next administration must get started immediately in January 2021. The damage that the next administration will need to repair is immense. It is hard to overestimate the harm that the current administration has inflicted. From daily attacks on the free press3 to intervening in Justice Department investigations4 to using the Oval Office to promote private business interests,5 the Trump administration has assaulted fundamental norms that American presidents and leaders have long upheld.
