  Towards transparent societies? International perspectives on open government, open data and the research of transparency

  23rd world conference of political science

  Dans la lignée de recherches précédentes en sciences politiques et en sciences de l’information et de la communication sur des notions et pratiques comme le « gouvernement ouvert », la « transparence », la « participation » publique et la « gouvernance », ce panel interroge l’état actuel des recherches sur la transparence. Au travers d’analyses des politiques cadres, tout particulièrement celles centrées sur les médias informatisés (la société de l’information, le gouvernement ouvert, etc.), le panel examinera comment la transparence mobilise les compétences et l’expertise des acteurs publics. Nous aspirons à réunir dans ce panel des chercheurs de traditions de recherches et d’horizons géographiques différents qui questionnent la notion de transparence et les concepts associés tel que l’ouverture, la responsabilité ou la mise en capacité des citoyens.

  Democracy and Technology. Europe in Tension from the 19th to the 21st century

  Public debate, social media demonstrations, participative assessment, technocracy and transparency: these are just some of the issues on the growing list of multiple and evolving interactions between technology and democracy in Europe since the middle of the 19^th Century. The sixth Tensions of Europe conference aims historicizing and exploring these complicated links in long-term perspective. It will address key contemporary issues such as the democratization of technology and the vulnerabilities of technological democracies. The conference will close the ANR funded project « Large technical networks and democracy: innovations, practices and interested parties in long-term perspective, from 1880 to the present day ». The conference will also feature the official presentation of the Making Europe book series, more than 40 panels, and of course the traditional untraditional Tensions events – this time in Parisian style!

  Historicising Deliberative Democracy

  7th ECPR General Conference

  The last thirty years have seen the burgeoning of political and academic speeches on the merits of participative or deliberative democracy. In parallel, in occidental democracies, various systems sharing the ambition to strengthen or increase citizen participation through collective discussion on public issues are being institutionalized. These devices are often viewed today as a novel cure to the present crisis of representative governance. This panel, at the crossroads of sociology, history and political science, aims at historicizing such deliberation necessity and at redrawing the genesis of the phenomenon as speech and political practice.

  Democracy and Technology, Europe in Tension from the 19th to the 21st Century

  Sixth Plenary Conference of Tensions of Europe

  This conference will be devoted to the complex relationship between democracy and technology from a European and transnational perspective. The core of this reflection will be the complementarities and cross-fertilization that arise in the interaction of technology and democracy, but also the frictions, tensions, and paradoxes that emerge in the discourses, representations and interplay of actors. This historical conference is open to a wide range of interdisciplinary inquiry. It invites proposals for papers addressing an issue that up to now has mainly been investigated on a national basis. Focusing on circulations and appropriations of technology in a European and transnational perspective, the conference should open new ways to think and talk about the history of Europe.
