Anticipatory Democracy

Abstract

Anticipatory Democracy has been considered an area able to provide the proper answer to multiple and complex inquiries on the future of democracy, peace, and human rights in the world context. Anticipatory Democracy is viewed as deeply connected to the deep transformation of societies and the new advanced technologies which empower people for political participation. The main questions to be answered concern the conceptual and methodological approach on anticipatory democracy programs aimed at achieving public values, like equity, solidarity, and sustainability, as well as secure people commitment to policies on tolerance and inclusion. Our panel welcomes paper proposals which address complex issues like the debate on representative vs. consensual democratic processes, organizational transformation at both structural, processes and cultural levels, public policy and public values, scenario development and environmental assessment. A good subject of debate on preferable futures concerns the comparative analysis of how industrial age has provided support to people preference for urban life and environments, while the advanced technologies of the artificial and their capabilities of replacing human work and free the human mind to enjoy more its creativity are making people in highly advanced and technologized societies to appreciate again the rural settings, values, and natural environments and resources.
