Whether it is carbon budgeting in Canada, voting on legislation in Italy or policy consultation in Taiwan, this book explains not just what is possible to achieve with digital democracy tools today, but how to assess the life-cycle of civic engagement, as well as different approaches to security and policy implementation. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePrinciples of Digital Democracy\u003c\/em\u003e combines theory with practice, giving the reader an overarching theory of the components (\u003cem\u003eBestandteile\u003c\/em\u003e) of digital democracy (e.g. ideation, deliberation, decision-making), as well as numerous case studies from around the world. Interviews with organizers and participants provide further insight into who participates in digital democracy and why they do so. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Roslyn Fuller\u003c\/strong\u003e is the Managing Director of the Solonian Democracy Institute, an Irish think tank focussed on researching alternative democratic practices. An international jurist by training (PhD International Law, Trinity College, Dublin), her research combines insights from ancient Athenian democracy with modern methods of digital, distributed decision-making. The author of several books including \u003cem\u003eBeasts and Gods: How Democracy Changed Its Meaning and Lost Its Purpose\u003c\/em\u003e (Zed Books, 2015) and \u003cem\u003eIn Defence of Democracy\u003c\/em\u003e (Polity, 2019), she advocates for a principles-based understanding of democracy that cherishes wide and deep democratic participation not tied to specific outcomes. Dr. Fuller also regularly contributes to broadcast and print media, including \u003cem\u003eThe Nation\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe LA Review of Books\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Financial Times\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"You can read \u003cem\u003ePrinciples of Digital Democracy\u003c\/em\u003e both as a contemporary history of democracy or as a flight manual. Regardless, I think Fuller's book will become a modern classic in democracy theory.\"\nPeer Norbäck, founder of Demoex (2000) \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003ePrinciples of Digital Democracy\u003c\/em\u003e shows how technology is a source of hope and a powerful tool to be harnessed. The book provides powerful case studies of how tech is being used in different settings, not just to protect democracy, but to reimagine democracy as a rolling iterative collaborative process of active citizen engagement.\"\nMáirin Murray, Impact Innovator and Co-Founder of Tech for Good Dublin \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"In a field dominated by superficiality, \u003cem\u003ePrinciples of Digital Democracy\u003c\/em\u003e never fails to dig deeply into \u003cem\u003ewhy\u003c\/em\u003e we practice democracy the way we do. As comfortable with Rousseau and elections systems, as with mix-nets and blockchain, Fuller is the rare author who truly understands both tech and politics. Her insights are invaluable for anyone seeking to implement digital democracy today.\"\nAdam Bennet, CEO, Red Piranha, Cybersecurity \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49839817457912,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":270.23,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9783110794397-1.jpg?v=1783774650","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/ja\/products\/9783110794397","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
