- 10. Not all thetime open Fuente: http://ebiinterfaces.wordpress.com/2010/11/29/ux-people- autumn-2010-talks/ Open brainstorming Small groups drafting Open commenting Small group re-drafting Open endorsement EU Open Declaration:
- 11. A reality check:policy-making 2.0 still more promising than impactful • 2050 PATHWAYS : high usage (16K pathways created, 200 stakeholders involved in the building phase). Higher awareness by citizens. Output used by govt to back up the Carbon Strategy. • GLEAM: adopted by mainstream gov’t agency to anticipate disease spread through transportation. Adopted also for educational purposes • OPINION SPACE 3.0: significant participation (5K individuals) , endorsement at top level (Secretary of State Clinton) • URBANSIM: High usage by US local gov’t Lack of systematic robust evaluation of different policy-methods. Initial evidence points to the potential impact, but very far from counterfactual / RCT approach available to date.
- 12. Open questions –Does Policy 2.0 favour the participation of people beyond the “usual suspects”? Is it only for the elite? – Does it bring new relevant ideas useful for policy-making? – Does it actually lead to better policies?

- 17. Remember the debateon universal right to vote • Perversity: it will reinforce the power of the elites • Futility: people won’t participate anyway • Jeopardy: it will lead to a rise in populism Hirschmann, The Rethorics of Reaction • BUT: participation has educational effects, as the worker through political discussion opens his mind beyond the limitations of the factory, understands the relation between personal interests and faraway events, and becomes member of the community Locke quoted in Bobbio, The Future of Democracy
- 18. Summing up •Policy 2.0 (or whatever we call it) is richer and more complex than crowdsourcing • It is a growing and promising trend in research and practice • There are open questions regarding its impact that deserve thorough scrutiny • Yet we should always remember that public involvement in policy-making is a goal in itself and it should not be justified by evidence, but by values
