Governance – An Agenda for Action Series
Governance
Democracy needs to evolve beyond its current form of “adversary democracy”, in which political parties compete for power, spurring polarization and paralysis. This implies a deepening of democracy through greater citizens participation – through a more direct, deliberative and digital democracy, integrated to representative democracy – a better balance between competence and popular control, as well as a better regulation of social media and the influence of money over politics.
The development of civic virtues and key (inter)being skills, including our capacity to listen, to keep an open mind and discern the truth, to understand each other and solve conflicts in a respectful and peaceful manner, is instrumental to the functioning of such deeper and wiser form of democracy and should be actively promoted through public policies.
Politics of Being : An agenda for action series
The Politics of Being is a deep but not ethereal vision. It offers concrete actionable policy recommendations in many sectors, almost exclusively based on existing examples. We can start implementing it today if we choose.
In this series, we will share every week some inspiration and thoughts about what implementing the Politics of Being would entail in nine different sectors. This agenda for action with examples and references is fully developed in the book : https://politicsofbeing.com/get-the-book/
Here you can discover what concrete policies and actions can support a regenerative relationship to governance.
Stay tuned and enjoy !
