2 INTRODUCTION (1/2) Making Representative truly Representative : > The paradox: more quantity, less quality > Old contradictions: onelevel vs. multilevel, premodern vs. modern, indirect vs. direct, developing vs. developed > New challenges: globalized economy, non-globalized democracy (supercapitalism, but no superdemocracy!) INTRODUCTION (2/2) Making Representative truly Representative : > Democracy is an unfinished journey > No shortcuts and quick-fixs > Democratization of democracy is the key > Deepen and broaden: 21th century democracy is to be more direct and more transnational 2 INSIGHT (1/6) modern Direct democracy procedures and practices: > specific part of electoral processes > about issues, not people (not elections or recall) > bottom-up, not top-down: Division of Power (not Plebiscites) > Modern, not-premodern: secrecy of the vote (not assemblies) > Initiative & Referendum: agendasetting & decision-making (Notconsultations, focus groups, petitions) 2
3 2 INSIGHT (6/6) modern Direct democracy procedures and practices: > - A lot of Quantity, but little Quality > - Bad procedures > Bad Practices > + Learning by doing, learning from each another > + CoE recommendations for free and Fair initiatives and Referendums 3
4 3 Outlook (1/4): The transnational Turn > The new Twins: Direct democracy and european Integration > Global citizenship: multiple, remote, abroad voting rights 3 Outlook (2/4): The transnational Turn > the European Referendum Experience: 50 nationwide popular votes on Europe in Europe > Towards a paneuropean Referendum > The European Initiative Experience: agenda and full initiative rights in most countries > towards the European Citizen Initiative 3 Outlook (3/4): The transnational Turn The European Citizen Initiative Introduced by the EU Convention Established in the Lisbon treaty (Art. 11.4) Tested in more than 20 cases the same right as the Parliament and Council 3 Outlook (4/4): The transnational Turn Global citizenship: multiple, remote, abroad voting rights Myself: nine levels of citizenship, elections & Initiatives & referendums Remote voting > global elections 4
5 4 Conclusions (1/): ESTABLISHING AN INFRASTRUCTURE > Opportunities: Democratic rights and institutions > Infrastructure: supporting tools and assistance 4 Conclusions (2/): ESTABLISHING AN INFRASTRUCTURE > Paneuropean referendum: consultation, information, deliberation, decision 4 Conclusions (3/): ESTABLISHING AN INFRASTRUCTURE 4 Conclusions (4/): ESTABLISHING AN INFRASTRUCTURE > European Citizen Initiative: signature gathering, transnational dimension, verification, implementation > Global Citizenship: Attention, Alerts, communication, decision 5
6 4 Conclusions (4/): ESTABLISHING AN INFRASTRUCTURE FOR TRANSNATIONAL DIRECT DEMOCRACY > E-DEMOCRACY: From Local to Global > LOCAL: Testground, Developments, Trust > COUNTRY-WIDE: a possibility Muchas Gracias! kaufmann@iri-europe.org > TRANS-NATIONAL: a Must (BUT: necessary but not sufficient) 6
