L'autorité qui augmente (par Martin Lessard)
« La hiérarchie est animale, il n'y a pas de doute là-dessus », déclare Michel Serres, auteur prolifique et professeur à l'université Stanford, dans son billet sur LePoint.fr de vendredi il y a deux semaines . Heureusement, avec les technologies émergentes, une nouvelle démocratie du savoir est en marche, dit-il. Mais dites donc!
On parle partout de la "crise de l'autorité". Tout le monde cherche l'autorité perdue.

Sociocracy
Sociocracy is a system of governance , using consent-based decision making among equivalent individuals and an organizational structure based on cybernetic principles. [ 1 ] The most recent implementation of sociocracy by Gerard Endenburg , [ 2 ] also known as Circular Organizing , was developed as a new tool for governance of private enterprise, but has been adopted in many different kinds of organizations including public, private, non-profit and community organizations as well as professional associations.

[Back to Starhawk's Activism Page] [Back to the Trainer Resource Index Page]Transpartisan
Transpartisanship represents an emerging field in political thought distinct from bipartisanship , which aims to negotiate between “right” and “left,” resulting in a dualistic perspective, and nonpartisanship , which tends to avoid political affiliation altogether. Rather, transpartisanship acknowledges the validity of truths across a range of political perspectives and seeks to synthesize them into an inclusive, pragmatic container beyond typical political dualities. In practice, transpartisan solutions emerge out of a new kind of public conversation that moves beyond polarization by applying proven methods of facilitated dialogue, deliberation and conflict resolution.
Post-partisanship is an approach to dispute resolution between political factions that emphasizes compromise and collaboration over political ideology and party discipline . [ 1 ] It does not imply neutrality.

While many books on direct democracy have a regional or national approach, or simply focus on one of the many mechanisms associated with direct democracy, this Handbook delves into a global comparison of direct democracy mechanisms, including referendums, citizens’ initiatives, agenda initiatives and recall. A detailed look into each of these instruments is discussed in a chapter by chapter analysis of each tool, including comprehensive definitions, how each instrument can be used to shape political decisions and an outline of the steps most often involved in planning any given procedure. Also included as a chapter in the Handbook are possible measures for best practices of implementation, designed for those who wish to tailor direct democracy instruments to their specific needs.
