[eGov] UK, US, EU : Le jour, la nuit et le Moyen-âge. Les leaders de l'innovation gouvernementale de trois capitales ont ouvert le Personal Democracy Forum.

Washington est resté flou et lyrique, Londres pragmatique et Bruxelles tristement immobile. Lors de la session d’ouverture du Personal Democracy Forum de Barcelone, le 4 octobre dernier, les organisateurs ont donné la parole à trois poids lourds de différents gouvernements, chacun racontant comment les nouvelles technologies leur permettent de rendre le monde meilleur.

L’Américain a parlé des possibilités ouvertes par les nouvelles technologies, l’Anglais a raconté très pragmatiquement comment ils procédaient pour rendre leur administration plus digitale. Quant à l’Européen, il a péniblement justifié son inaction. Alec Ross : « Nous en sommes à la première page du premier chapitre » TEDxUofM - Marvin Ammori - Why Internet Policy Matters. TechWomen.

What does Morocco’s #feb20 have to do with Spain’s #spanishrevolution? 21st Century Statecraft - Diplomacy in the Age of Facebook and Twitter. Senior Advisor for Innovation, U.S.

Department of State Audio Moderator: This is afternoon we are pleased to have Alec Ross, Senior Advisor for Senior Advisor for Innovation to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a role that blends technology with diplomacy. Statecraft was once confined solely to government to government interactions. Advisor Ross stewards the 21st Century Statecraft initiative which extends statecraft to government to people, people to people, and people to government in service of the U.S.’s diplomatic and development goals. Senior Advisor Ross: Great. In the hours after the earthquake took place in Haiti, at the direction of the Secretary of State we woke up Mr. Digital Diplomacy. Morocco youth leaders hone social media skills. A new programme in Morocco aims to empower youths to take charge of their future.

The Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI) Alumni Network's "Be Heard Now" project provided young leaders with a week-long training course in social media that ended Friday (October 1st) in Rabat. Eighteen young representatives of civil society attended the course, which illustrated ways to use modern technology to initiate social change. Abdallah Yassine Boukrizia national co-ordinator of MEPI's Moroccan division, told Magharebia that young people are used to using web-based social networks to post photos or chat, but that they could also use them to run high-impact awareness campaigns.

The training covered three areas: the fight against corruption, social entrepreneurship and promoting the image of Moroccan women. According to the event's organisers, the topics were chosen for their ability to affect the lives of Moroccans directly. Hillary Clinton adviser compares internet to Che Guevara. Hillary Clinton's senior adviser for innovation at the US state department has lauded the way the internet has become "the Che Guevara of the 21st century" in the Arab Spring uprisings.

Speaking at the Guardian's Activate summit in London on Wednesday, Alec Ross said "dictatorships are now more vulnerable than ever" as disaffected citizens organise influential protest movements on Facebook and Twitter. The US has pledged to back the pro-democracy movements that have swept the Middle East and north Africa since January. Ross welcomed the "redistribution of power" from autocratic regimes to individuals, describing the internet as "wildly disruptive" during the protests in Egypt and Tunisia.

"Dictatorships are now more vulnerable than they have ever been before, in part – but not entirely – because of the devolution of power from the nation state to the individual," he said. "One thesis statement I want to emphasise is how networks disrupt the exercise of power. Organize on Facebook Securely. The Middle East Partnership Initiative. Remarks by the President on the Middle East and North Africa. The White House Office of the Press Secretary For Immediate Release May 19, 2011 State Department, Washington, DC THE PRESIDENT: Thank you.

The State Department is a fitting venue to mark a new chapter in American diplomacy. Today, I want to talk about this change -- the forces that are driving it and how we can respond in a way that advances our values and strengthens our security. Now, already, we’ve done much to shift our foreign policy following a decade defined by two costly conflicts.

Bin Laden was no martyr. Bin Laden and his murderous vision won some adherents. That story of self-determination began six months ago in Tunisia. There are times in the course of history when the actions of ordinary citizens spark movements for change because they speak to a longing for freedom that has been building up for years. The story of this revolution, and the ones that followed, should not have come as a surprise.
