ANDIAMO A COMANDARE

EDITORIALE

Una delle ragioni della «sindrome da stanchezza democratica» (Van Reybrouck) potrebbe essere una forma estrema, e paradossale, di “disintermediazione”. Quest’ultima non consisterebbe, in realtà, nell’investitura di un leader, o supposto tale, a scapito dei corpi intermedi (chiese, sindacati, partiti …), ma nell’agognata eliminazione della dualità di rappresentante e rappresentato, eliminazione che però solo in piccola parte avrebbe che fare con forme di democrazia diretta, o deliberativa, e in parte maggiore appunto col desiderio individuale di essere il capo.

A Short History of the Future of Elections

Num°19 ELECTIONS
Keane

We live in times gripped by the conviction that periodic ‘free and fair’ elections at the national level are the heart and soul of democracy.

The Mob Came Wielding Pitchforks, but they had a Good Story to Tell

Num°19 ELECTIONS
Boatright

Contributors to this issue have been asked to consider whether there can be democracy without elections. Such a question requires, of course, that one present a working definition of democracy, a working definition of elections, and that (if one is not planning to argue in the affirmative) the first definition does not subsume the second (e.g. “democracy is a system of free and fair elections”). It also requires, I would argue, that somewhere there appears some standard of measurement. One would need to come up with a way to measure, for instance, degrees of “freedom” and “fairness” if one were to distinguish types of elections. Leggi tutto »
