Principles of Digital Democracy
Drawing on almost a decade of first-hand experience, Principles of Digital Democracy presents a unique look at digital democracy tools in action. Whether it is carbon budgeting in Canada, voting on legislation in Italy or policy consultation in Taiwan, this book explains not just what is possible to achieve with digital democracy tools today, but how to assess the life-cycle of civic engagement, as well as different approaches to security and policy implementation. Principles of Digital Democracy combines theory with practice, giving the reader an overarching theory of the components (Bestandteile) of digital democracy (e.g. ideation, deliberation, decision-making), as well as numerous case studies from around the world. Interviews with organizers and participants provide further insight into who participates in digital democracy and why they do so.

Une histoire des libertés associatives
En 2018, l’administration pénitentiaire met fin à la convention qui la liait au Genepi, une association qui intervient depuis plus de quarante ans auprès des personnes incarcérées, entraînant la suspension de ses subventions et la restriction de son accès aux prisons. Pour justifier ces sanctions, l’État avance les positions critiques du Genepi à l’égard du fonctionnement du système pénitentiaire. Comme le Genepi, les associations sont régulièrement confrontées à des restrictions, qui peuvent prendre la forme de procès-bâillons, de harcèlement administratif, d’attaques réputationnelles, d’entraves matérielles, etc. Ces attaques contre la liberté d’associatio...
Les modèles socio-économiques des associations : spécificités et approches plurielles
Les modèles socio-économiques des associations font l’objet de débats importants. Elles sont aujourd’hui fragilisées par un environnement en profonde transformation. Cet ouvrage tente de clarifier trois aspects : Le premier axe, analyse l’évolution socio-économique des associations françaises. Le second évoque la grande diversité des modèles et de leurs spécificités respectives, et ce à diverses échelles, du niveau local jusqu’au niveau européen. Enfin, le dernier axe étudie l’empreinte territoriale des modèles socio-économiques.

The Javelin Thrower
As a boy growing up in rural Italy in the 1930s, Damìn is experiencing the first stirrings of adolescence when he accidentally sees his mother having sex with the local Fascist commandant. His pain, anger, and confusion are uncomfortably intertwined with a compulsion to watch them, which becomes an obsession. Isolating himself from anyone who might help him understand what he's feeling, he channels his fury into his javelin, getting better and better until he is a local champion. But his success is fleeting, as wholly confused and caught up in his own anger, he ends up betraying and humiliating his friends. The Javelin Thrower is the story of an erotic education turned tragic, poisoned by the darkness running through Mussolini's Italy.

Laws of the Markets
With the collapse of the planned economies of Eastern Europe, the market is extending its reach and at the same time claiming its universal applicability.
The Search for Political Community
This book challenges the myth that Americans' emphasis on personal fulfilment necessarily weakens commitment to the common good. Drawing on extensive participant-observation with a variety of environmentalist groups, Paul Lichterman argues that individualism sometimes enhances public, political commitment and that a shared respect for individual inspiration enables activists with diverse political backgrounds to work together. This personalised culture of commitment has sustained activists working long-term for social change. The book contrasts 'personalised politics' in mainly white environmental groups with a more traditional, community-centred culture of commitment in an African-American group. The untraditional, personalised politics of many recent social movements invites us to rethink common understandings of commitment, community, and individualism in a post-traditional world.
The Politics of Large Numbers
