Riding the Democracy rollercoaster
A great strength of democracy since the Second World War has been the development of monitoring organisations - bodies that put a brake on the abuse of power: corruption inquiries, NGOs, environmental bodies, independent media, among them. But those monitoring organisations have been under increasingly attack in many countries and authoritarian rule has begun to take hold where there had been hope of increased freedoms. Democracy must evolve and move forward and meet the challenges of an increasingly complex society. Technology must be part of the solution. www.public-democracy.com
