“…More recent research has focused on digital technologies, which have paved the way for participatory innovations aimed at more just, effective, and legitimate governance (Fung, 2015). Examples aimed at addressing such governance shortfalls include Iceland's crowdsourced and participatory constitutional drafting process (Landemore, 2015); as well as numerous "bottom-up" sociotechnical innovations linked to the "maker culture," illustrated by "living labs," "hackathons," etc. (e.g., Baccarne et al, 2014;Evans et al, 2016;Scholl and Kemp, 2016).…”

Growing practice interest in smart cities has led to calls for a less technology-oriented and more citizen-centric approach. In response, this article investigates the citizenship mode promulgated by the smart city standard of the British Standards Institution. The analysis uses the concept of citizenship regime and a mixture of quantitative and qualitative methods to discern key discursive frames defining the smart city and the particular citizenship dimensions brought into play. The results confirm an explicit citizenship rationale guiding the smart city (standard), although this displays some substantive shortcomings and contradictions. The article concludes with recommendations for both further theory and practice development.

“…Here, policies are 'crowd sourced' and developed through active discussion between politicians and publics, incorporating real-time online evaluation of proposals and policy, and mimicing and drawing on elements of the radical activism of the general assemblies and spokes councils of the Occupy camps. The successful attempt to crowd source a new Icelandic constitution between 2011 and 2012 is one example of this (Landemore, 2015(Landemore, , 2016 but this process could be extended to constitutionalise every emergent political organisation, from cities to regions, to industrial unions, all generated through this neoplural world order, and then aggregated through further constitutional means. Alongside the democratic control of the workplace, this reconstitutinalisation might meet problems of control and legitimacy, while giving the people the means to redress questions of economic inequality by taking control of their labour and political power.…”

The new anarchy: Globalisation and fragmentation in world politics

Modern International Relations theory has consistently underestimated the depth of the problem of anarchy in world politics. Contemporary theories of globalisation bring this into bold relief. From this perspective, the complexity of transboundary networks and hierarchies, economic sectors, ethnic and religious ties, civil and cross-border wars, and internally disaggregated and transnationally connected state actors, leads to a complex and multidimensional restructuring of the global, the local and the uneven connections in between. We ought to abandon the idea of 'high' and 'low' politics, 'inside' and 'outside' once and for all. This does not remove the problem of anarchy but rather deepens it, involving multidimensional tensions and contradictions variously described as 'functional differentiation', 'multiscalarity', 'fragmegration', disparate 'landscapes', the 'new security dilemma' and 'neomedievalism'. Approaching anarchy from the perspective of plural competing claims to authority and power forces us to think again about the nature of global order and the virtues of anarchy therein. Will the long-term outcome be the emergence of a more decentralised, pluralistic world order or a quagmire of endemic conflict and anomie?

“…We are interested in the ways in which crowdsourcing can be used as a tool to create mini-publics engaged in deliberation. To date only a handful of studies have approached the topic of crowdsourcing from the deliberative governance perspective, and all of these articles have focused on policymaking rather than its use in the management of public programs (Aitamurto, 2012;Aitamurto & Landemore, 2015;Landemore, 2015).…”
