Director Lee Rainie presented 10 fresh realities of the digital age to journalists, government officials, and leaders of non-governmental organizations from 33 countries.
The document discusses entropy in human systems and organizations. It defines entropy as a thermodynamic concept referring to the unavailability of a system's thermal energy and the tendency towards disorder. It notes that all organizations are complex human systems that tend towards entropy and disorder over time. It asks how agility practices can help address this and make systems better. It provides six suggestions: do not see it as only a process problem; shift the system in multiple ways at once; understand the humans in the system; maximize diversity; recognize the value of coaching; and support the system and create safety.

Role of social networks in egypt revolution of 2011Aryanhella
Social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube played a key role in organizing and facilitating the Egyptian revolution of 2011. Dissatisfaction had been growing for decades under President Hosni Mubarak's 30-year regime due to issues like poverty, corruption, unemployment, and police brutality. When Tunisia had a successful revolution in early 2011, it encouraged Egyptian activists. They used social media to schedule protests, coordinate activities, and spread awareness of political events minute by minute both within Egypt and internationally. The rapid organization and unity enabled by social networks was a major factor in the success of the 18-day revolution that resulted in Mubarak's resignation.
Technology is the solid basis of a sustainable socioeconomic organization. If it is not there, moral systems are just aspirations. Once it arrives, the changes become unstoppable. Are we in front of a fundamental phase transformation of our globally connected technological society? Yes, a deep and wide wave of technologies is coming together all characterized by the decentralization of the fundamental pillars of our nation states and enterprises. The necessary adaptations to the way we work, vote, learn, live must happen in a manner to maximize our opportunities to thrive, and minimize suffering and social disruption.
Delivered at the Network Society World Congress in Turin, Italy, on October 15, 2015
A set of simultaneous technologies is growing exponentially, with the common feature of being decentralized, and organized in a network. This contrasts with the centralized and hierarchical organization of today’s traditional society and its basic functions. The shift from the old to the new structure will subject the Nation State to an unprecedented pressure. The Network Society project creates a vision and analytical tools to allow individuals, enterprises and the society at large to deal positively with this unstoppable change.

NextEra is a global initiative to track, connect, and amplify emerging ideas for an open and forward-looking society. As everyone is speaking about the transformation, we need to create a vision for what next. There is a need to identify, conceptualise and scale social innovations and experiments fast (as the technology and business innovations are changing the world).

Extreme democracy is a political philosophy of the information era that puts people in charge of the entire political process. It suggests a deliberative process that places total confidence in the people, opening the policy-making process to many centers of power through deeply networked coalitions that can be organized around local, national and international issues.

The document discusses issues around 'We Media' and democracy. It provides questions to consider regarding how 'We Media' has emerged and both the positive and negative impacts on democracy. Theories from thinkers like Chomsky, Curtis, Gillmor, and Keen are referenced regarding how the contemporary media may be both more democratic through citizen participation but also less democratic through issues like surveillance, control and lack of experts. The document also briefly outlines the potential structure for an exam answer on these topics.
CITIPOL is a mobile and web platform that allows users to see how people in their community feel about important social and political issues. It aggregates data to show the overall distribution of views on issues and outcomes, removing filter bubbles. Anyone can submit proposals on issues and people can vote on them. This creates a continuous national conversation where the public decides what issues are important. The platform aims to be like a digital public writing reflecting public sentiment that updates in real-time as votes change. It envisions creating a reverse panopticon where the public can hold governments and organizations accountable. Researchers could also use the big data generated to better understand public opinion and improve policymaking and people's lives.
This document discusses ways for citizens to be involved in democracy. It argues that citizens should participate in politics by voting, joining political parties, running for office, and providing oversight of elected representatives. Citizens need to understand how their government works and have a political viewpoint in order to effectively participate. Democracy requires active involvement from citizens, not just voting occasionally.

The article argues that describing Twitter as a "global town square" is mistaken for three reasons. First, there cannot and should not be a single global public space, as public spaces are rooted in local communities. Second, town squares are governed by the public, not private owners, like Twitter's changing leadership. Third, what matters is not just the space, but what happens within it - town squares can host positive or negative events. The article then discusses how social media, including Twitter, have led to a depletion of society's collective attention through their competitive efforts to capture users' attention, often with sensational or negative content. This "tragedy of the commons" dynamic around attention has made it harder to have nuanced
This document summarizes Steven Clift's presentation on e-democracy and civic engagement. Some key points include:
- Clift has been working in the field of e-democracy since 1994 when he created one of the first election information websites.
- Social media has both positive and negative impacts on civic participation and democracy. It can empower citizens but also spread misinformation and isolate like-minded groups.
- Local online spaces are important for connecting citizens, representatives, and issues in a specific community. When combined with in-person engagement, they can strengthen representative democracy.
- Moving forward, opportunities exist to better share what works across communities, close data gaps around local governance, and get citizens

Despiste the provocative title, this lecture delivers an account of how the idea of Active Citizenship has evolved in history and how this idea is related to the Right to the City. True citizen participation has the potential to deliver the right to the city. In this lecture, I explore a very old line of thought that goes from Aristotle and Plato, to Rousseau, Hannah Arendt, Henri Lefebvre and David Harvey, all of whom affirm the power of active or engaged citizenship in shaping the city while simultaneously shaping us.
The Rise of Platforms: findings, questions, challenges, and opportunities for...Rasmus Kleis Nielsen
We know that platforms are increasingly integral to at least a small part of almost everything almost everybody does almost everywhere, including many parts of political communication processes, from the production of content, over its distribution, to its consumption, to the actions that follows next. Simply put, if we don’t study platforms, we are studying the past, not the present and future of political communication. Our field brings much to this with its emphasis on both short-term individual-level attitudinal and behavioral effects and the study of longer-term institutional implications. To pursue these research opportunities we have to (1) handle challenges of methods and access to data, (2) the fact that political communication is a small part of very, very large platforms, and (3) get beyond our comfort zone and read more scholarship from outside political communication.
Globalisation, Modernity & Postmodernity EssayBeth Lee
- Postmodernists argue that society has entered a new postmodern era due to globalization and rapid technological and cultural changes that undermine modern theories. However, theories of late modernity assert that these changes are just an intensification of modernity rather than a fundamental break.
- Marxists also reject that postmodernity represents an entirely new era, instead arguing that it is merely the latest stage of capitalism, characterized by flexible accumulation and global production, which fragment opposition to capitalism.
- While postmodernists believe objective truth is impossible and we must celebrate diversity of views, late modernists and Marxists still believe in achieving progress through objective knowledge and potentially transforming society.
Into the wild: research 'impact' and the curious world of public policyJulian Dobson
This document summarizes research on the high street and efforts to impact public policy. It discusses 3 case studies: 1) how knowledge about skills for sustainable communities was ignored by governments, 2) how the "big society" narrative undermined community development knowledge, and 3) how research on food banks and welfare reform is consistently ignored. It reflects on challenges of impact including losing control of the research narrative, policy preferences determining research agendas, differing definitions of impact between researchers and policymakers, and impact being more about self-presentation than influence. It proposes an agenda for impact that sees impact as provisional, challenges canonical knowledge, is inclusive of participant views, and disturbs rather than just reinforces the status quo.
Cyberfeminism in Latin America and beyond - University of LeedsCarolina Matos
This document summarizes a presentation on feminism, development, and online activism in the digital age. It discusses how new technologies have enabled transnational feminist activism and the rise of feminism in the global South. It also examines cyberfeminism and how women use the internet for social change. The document then focuses on a case study of feminist movements in Latin America and Brazil, highlighting campaigns like #NotHim and struggles for gender equality, democracy, and women's rights. It concludes by emphasizing the challenges that remain but the commitment of younger women to advance gender justice through digital media and political representation.

The document summarizes key findings from a survey on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education systems. Some of the main points are:
- Schools were fully closed for an average of around 35 days in 2020, with some regions closing primary and secondary schools for over 30 and 40 days respectively. Longer closures were linked to lower student performance.
- Countries implemented various distance learning solutions like online platforms, television, and take-home packages to continue education during closures. However, many struggled to reach disadvantaged students.
- Reopening schools presented challenges around health risks, with countries adopting measures like distancing and prioritizing teacher vaccinations. Exams were also adjusted with some

The document discusses the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the automotive sector in Central and Eastern European (CEE) economies. It notes that while the automotive industry plays an important role in CEE economies, the pandemic hit the sector hard with declines in car production and sales. However, the recovery was initially fast. Going forward, car demand is expected to remain low due to anticipated slow economic growth in major trading partners in Europe. This poses risks to automotive supply chains in CEE and to attracting further investment if profitability declines. Policy priorities to support the sector include improving skills, access to infrastructure, and helping domestic firms connect with multinational enterprises.
