La seconda edizione di International Forum for Digital and Democracy è sulla rampa di lancio proprio mentre il governo della sovranità del popolo da segni di malessere. L’indice di democrazia ha raggiunto il suo livello più basso dal 2006 anno di costituzione del parametro sviluppato dall’Economist Intelligence Unit (EUI) nel tentativo di applicare un punteggio ai paesi misurando il loro grado di aderenza agli ideali democratici.
Solo 46% della popolazione mondiale vive in un regime assimilabile in qualche misura a una democrazia piena o imperfetta.
Grandi attese e forti avversioni coesistono e si intersecano nell’interazione tra digitale e processi democratici. Per offrire un quadro equilibrato dei problemi, delle potenziali soluzioni e rispettive controindicazioni, viene promosso International Forum on Digital and Democracy, IFDaD, dove esperti, accademici e decisori politici si confrontano su come il digitale possa ritemprare e riformare istituzioni e processi democratici.
Nata da un’intuizione di Jeffrey Sachs, l’idea viene elaborata da Romano Prodi e raccolta dall’associazione Copernicani che, nel 2020 ne promuove la prima edizione.
Democrazia nell’era digitale
16 novembre ore 18.30
Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli
Viale Pasubio 5 Milano, Ingresso su prenotazione
L’incontro sarà disponibile anche in diretta streaming sul sito della Fondazione
Il 16 novembre, in Fondazione G. Feltrinelli a Milano, ci chiederemo se e a quali condizioni la rivoluzione digitale può migliorare la qualità della nostra democrazia favorendo processi di aggregazione e partecipazione. L’impatto del digitale sulla democrazia può contribuire a ridurre la distanza tra cittadini e istituzioni che oggi si percepisce in aumento, come dimostrano gli altissimi tassi di astensione, anche alle ultime elezioni amministrative? Secondo quali strumenti e processi il digitale può rafforzare le sperimentazioni di innovazione democratica coinvolgendo anche segmenti sociali che solitamente non sono coinvolti in iniziative di questo tipo?
