“In the regions where it is more deeply rooted — the Americas and Europe —
representative democracy is in crisis,” former Brazilian president Fernando
Henrique Cardoso

in The WorldPost.

“At the core of this crisis,” he continued, “is the widening gap between
people’s aspirations and the capacity of political institutions to respond
to the demands of society. It is one of the ironies of our age that this
deficit of trust in political institutions coexists with the rise of
citizens capable of making the choices that shape their lives and influence
the future of their societies.”

Sprouting in that gap is a burgeoning movement toward direct democracy in
which voters bypass elected elites and make laws themselves through citizen
ballot initiatives, referendums and other tools.

“Two trends — the rise of populist authoritarianism in some nations and the
rise of local and direct democracy in some areas — are related,” Bruno
Kaufmann and Joe Mathews
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001EouvDyMwSBxhiXFZVOIFRcCtExR037tI50uZEn4Qexd5wntEleL0jxOc6U9aM6bdgp6sKtgwAX2BbGwQvARDj0VlGr508yDKFpZ7KnL97j-d3HL8s7GtU3E9U_3EkL0_QcBAgByV_jRB_AptJ9v2Xy_9I_m-2RnPJuF_MKKks023MXBUZ-v8aydQcho5NC18KnbC6b0x2euNqxF6LP3afwH9fb-lBchHgmPmMHGOtP_Sqv_LojGzNHPOUL_AwO7XQllRUMJZCRL7l6viBz_rjtGLFBn-L1mQfoUvS2gzirh-oW__XTcVHPigtWu2K1Rb&c=Am54YB0u5eZPIZyKo6BKOHdEEVUML-FpMVQsMQqpNpweUpTnc86UCA==&ch=0RbdmN1v2bLfCdu7JgczfY7xk3LvP_HBihphUv9Cm3Z3Sdlmg6w_dg==>
write.
“Frustration is growing with democratic systems at national levels, and
yes, some people become more attracted to populism. But some of that
frustration is channeled into positive energy — into making local democracy
more democratic and direct.”

They report: “Cities from Seoul to San Francisco are hungry for new and
innovative tools that bring citizens into processes of deliberation that
allow the people themselves to make decisions and feel invested in
government actions. We’ve seen local governments embrace participatory
budgeting, participatory planning, citizens’ juries and a host of
experimental digital tools in service of that desired mix of greater public
deliberation and more direct public action.”

“There seems little doubt that direct democracy will become a more dominant
feature of self-government,” the authors argue. “The key challenge ahead
will be to design new practices and institutions to ensure that this form
of governance is properly mediated so that it enhances the public good, is
not captured by organized special interests or does not merely express the
prejudices or immediate wash of voters’ emotions.”

The debilitated integrity of the democratic process — so damaged lately by
the social media influence of polarizing hate speech, fake news and
alternative facts — is no less a concern in developing nations than in the
core Western countries. “Developing and newer democracies are much more
susceptible to the tactics of populists and demagogues — they often do not
have strong institutions, free press or the infrastructure required to
defend their nascent democracies,” says former U.N. Secretary-General and
Nobel laureate Kofi Annan
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001EouvDyMwSBxhiXFZVOIFRcCtExR037tI50uZEn4Qexd5wntEleL0jxOc6U9aM6bd6DWu737XiBdid3pk4U1nOgJf6pMoWseqNTwYS8cEHmzsbszNknbUVzs6KAjGUfvOKbPJ_nPEoZru7vdZ45jspZM33LqaMIrSS_qeB7INQMs8MfKk9wxzL4pv7zwigBI35iaQnz8D8IX13Ad0O-Y8QLIK2g-a9UOmYbI3NCwi94avBvau-6gSAhXFr-wZrT6cPs_wEeSlDPQ=&c=Am54YB0u5eZPIZyKo6BKOHdEEVUML-FpMVQsMQqpNpweUpTnc86UCA==&ch=0RbdmN1v2bLfCdu7JgczfY7xk3LvP_HBihphUv9Cm3Z3Sdlmg6w_dg==>
in
an interview.

“That is why we need to safeguard the institutions that have been built to
prevent blatant twisting of truths that erode trust in our elections and
ultimately in democracy itself. My primary focus these days is promoting
the legitimacy of democracy by ensuring the integrity of elections, whether
from traditional threats, such as too much money in politics, or newer
threats arising with the digital age.

If citizens do not believe they can change their leaders through the ballot
box, they will find other ways, even at the risk of destabilizing their
countries.”

During a recent tour of Silicon Valley, Annan offered some practical ideas.
“When I spoke before an audience at Facebook,” he recounts, “I suggested
they should organize a sort of a rapid response team to be called into a
situation when it is clear that bots, trolls or fake news are evident. The
team could alert electoral commissions or other authorities to offer advice
on how to stop the problem before it gets out of control.”

The paradox of governance in the age of social networks is that, precisely
because there is more participation than ever before entwined with
peer-driven media unchecked by factual observation, never has the need been
greater for countervailing constraints. That means protecting the integrity
of representative government, as Kofi Annan pleads. But it also requires,
as Kaufmann and Mathews point out, new impartial practices and institutions
that can establish facts, deliberate wise choices, mediate fair trade-offs
and forge consensus as direct democracy finds ever greater favor among
disillusioned electorates everywhere.

Trump is out to demolish NAFTA

This week, negotiations among the United States, Mexico and Canada resumed
over how to modernize the North America Free Trade Agreement. Former
Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001EouvDyMwSBxhiXFZVOIFRcCtExR037tI50uZEn4Qexd5wntEleL0jxOc6U9aM6bdhe267TqXI-HyZDwoPBoO7iARiu-d4f7hiNJV-4MzcH78CMp1i5gDKTvbmM8MN9EXXOBd_4y75C77SGbUTNRPQd1BTDRCEUOi6iDCgBLjOabU8_HDaA5MahznMhLNddRgCV7vFYPreo9xajn1-IOiPXtO86QTi9cZzuD7ru2U8Wqrv2ZeqrSzr1kWp4IBSTM_2n0JXihwpqmskPoFm8vvCXc_aBsfl0Ha&c=Am54YB0u5eZPIZyKo6BKOHdEEVUML-FpMVQsMQqpNpweUpTnc86UCA==&ch=0RbdmN1v2bLfCdu7JgczfY7xk3LvP_HBihphUv9Cm3Z3Sdlmg6w_dg==>
believes
the United States is negotiating in bad faith and pleads for Mexico and
Canada not to cave to a bad deal. “It’s clear that what the U.S. government
seeks is not to modernize the old NAFTA but rather to get an agreement that
would destroy trade and investment among the three North American
partners,” he writes. “It perversely aims to get Mexico and Canada’s seal
of approval to carry out the demolition of the most successful undertaking
ever of mutually beneficial economic cooperation in the Americas.”

He concludes: “Unless the U.S. government seriously reconsiders its
proposed self-damaging trade policy, its two partners should move forward
to protect and lean on another line of defense — the World Trade
Organization multilateral system — and leave the U.S. government to assume
alone full responsibility for killing NAFTA.”

Give Kim Jong Un the benefit of the doubt

a
former special envoy of South Korean President Moon Jae-in to Washington,
sees light at the end of the long conflict on the Korean Peninsula. “I
harbor cautious optimism for the road ahead because I discern a sincerity
in Kim. To test that sincerity, we need to give Kim the benefit of the
doubt,” he writes from Seoul.

“Kim’s change of heart,” he continues, “likely resulted from his
realization that as long as he holds on to nuclear weapons, economic
development will be difficult. Just last month, Kim shifted policy from
simultaneously pursuing nuclear weapons and economic development to
focusing solely on advancing the economy. … Kim may have come to the
conclusion that it will not be possible to suppress the desires and
grievances of his people if the current ‘maximum pressure’ campaign against
North Korea continues.”
