"Geraldton 2029 and beyond: Developing civic deliberation and collaborative governance to co-create a sustainable future","Janette Hartz-Karp","Democratic governments need to increase their capacity for effective problem solving to address sustainability, the greatest challenge of our time, in a way that brings the people with them. Scientists have suggested we will be unable to effectively address our uncertain future without a ’new technology of cooperation’. This project utilises innovative techniques in civic deliberation and social media to strengthen democratic capacity in pursuit of resilience and sustainability (File 1). It mobilises citizens, government and industry in the Greater Geraldton City Region, to collaboratively develop and implement sustainability plans. Through a series of deliberations, some organised by decision-makers, others by community, ordinary citizens have opportunities to engage with scientific data, differing viewpoints and each other to develop local sustainability solutions. Focussed recruitment strategies ensure inclusion of marginalised groups, while random sampling ensures representation of diverse community views. The project purposefully creates opportunities for communities to deliberate and to develop a coherent voice, and to link that voice with decision-making processes so it is influential. The mutually reinforcing deliberative community and collaborative governance processes create a virtuous cycle’ that strengthens democratic behaviour by developing the awareness, capacity and willingness of both the community and government to work together towards common goals.

"Legislative e-Democracia","Cristiano Ferri Faria","Legislative e-Democracia is driven by a belief that the lawmaking process can benefit from the convergence of political representation and citizen participation, in a virtuous cycle where one model strengthens the other. People in contemporary societies have very diverse interests, experiences, expertise and values. The great challenge in making social participation feasible is to find out how to take advantage of such diversity and incorporate it into the policy-making system. The engine behind e-Democracia is a ‘multiple participatory mechanism,’ a kind of electronic, permeable sponge that enables people to share their professional experience and expertise, express their personal and collective interests and values, and foster creative ideas in different forms and intensity, in all phases of the policy-making cycle. That participation may consider any contribution that citizens want to deliver, or are technically able to present. Some persons would be interested in merely discussing ideas (solutions) in public forums, whereas others can be engaged in drafting, simply uploading useful information to describe the problem or presenting arguments to support ideas. One could even help to merely rank better ideas. Besides participants, there will be many other citizens who are satisfied with simply monitoring the legislative discussion.

"Multi-option Referendums: The Cases of Puerto Rico and Newfoundland","Paul Nollen","Multi option referendums have often been discussed in relation to referendums on ethnic and national issues. There have been relatively high profile referendums with several options in Sweden, e.g. in 1955 when three pension systems were put to a vote and in 1980, when the future of Nuclear Energy was decided in a three-option referendum. But multi-option referendums have also been discussed in relation to the referendum on independence or ‘devolution max’ (independence but with the same currency and foreign policy) in Scotland.","Problems and Purpose History Originating Entities and Funding Participant Selection Deliberation, Decisions, and Public Interaction Influence, Outcomes, and Effects Analysis and Criticism Secondary Sources External Linkshttp://www.cps.org.uk/blog/q/date/...","Tue, 01/24/2012 - 06:30","United States","No","","","","","","","","","","","","","No"
