Abstract

De natie wordt afgebouwd. De burger staat buitenspel. De term democratie is een vlag die de lading niet langer dekt. De particratie ontbladerde de minst slechte van alle staatsvormen. Een oligarchie van toppolitici en bureaucraten legt de bijl aan de wortel. De soevereiniteit op financieel, economisch en juridisch gebied werd het volk en zijn gekozen vertegenwoordigers ontfutseld. Onder druk van de financiële wereld en van een imperiale onderneming zoals de Europese Unie, worden de politieke rechten van de burgers uitgehold. Aan de drie basisprincipes van de representatieve democratie, te weten de inperking van de macht, het burgerschap en de vertegenwoordiging, wordt nog slechts lippendienst bewezen. De scheidingslijnen van de trias politica de uitvoerende, wetgevende en rechterlijke macht vervaagden.De Europese nomenklatura kent zich superieure bekwaamheden en exclusieve macht toe. In de EU is het burgerschap vandaag niet veel meer dan een fictie die het gezag van de gezagsdragers rechtvaardigt. De degradatie van burger tot schatplichtige onderdaan is voltrokken.

Abstract

Tunisian and Egyptian protestors famously made use of social media to rally supporters and disseminate information as the "Arab Spring" began to unfold in 2010. Less well known, but with just as much potential to bring about social change, are ongoing local efforts to use social media and other forms of technology to prevent deadly outbreaks of violence. In The Technology of Nonviolence, Joseph Bock describes and documents technology-enhanced efforts to stop violence before it happens in Africa, Asia, and the United States. Once peacekeeping was the purview of international observers, but today local citizens take violence prevention into their own hands. These local approaches often involve technology--including the use of digital mapping, crowdsourcing, and mathematical pattern recognition to identify likely locations of violence--but, as Bock shows, technological advances are of little value unless they are used by a trained cadre of community organizers. After covering general concepts in violence prevention and describing technological approaches to tracking conflict and cooperation, Bock offers five case studies that range from "low-tech" interventions to prevent ethnic and religious violence in Ahmedebad, India, to an anti-gang initiative in Chicago that uses Second Life to train its "violence interrupters." There is solid evidence of success, Bock concludes, but there is much to be discovered, developed, and, most important, implemented.Bron : http://www.amazon.com

Abstract

The Battle for Europe brings into sharp focus the historical importance of the current Eurozone crisis. Thomas Fazi argues that European Union (EU) elites have seized on the financial crash to push through damaging neoliberal policies, undermining social cohesion and vital public services. Drawing on a wealth of sources, Fazi argues that the EU's austerity policies are not simply a case of political and ideological short-sightedness, but part of a long-term project by elites to remove the last remnants of the welfare state and complete the neoliberal project.As well as an urgent critique of the EU and monetary union as currently constituted, The Battle for Europe showcases a programme for progressive reform and outlines how citizens and workers of Europe can radically overhaul EU institutions.Bron : http://www.plutobooks.com
