17 maart, Amsterdam: Reclaim the State? Experiments in Popul
IIRE - 12.03.2010 14:00

Debat over de mogelijkheden van directe democratie in de lokale politiek.

PANEL:
Hilary Wainwright, Fellow van Transnational Institute (TNI), redactrice van het Engelse linkse tijdschrift Red Pepper en auteur van 'Reclaim the State: Experiments in Popular Democracy'
Joost Kircz, Deelraadslid Amsterdam Anders/ De Groenen 2002-2010
Bertil Videt (voorzitter), Co-directeur International Institute for Research and Education (IIRE)

Elke vier jaar bieden de gemeenteraadsverkiezingen burgers de kans hun locale besturen te kiezen. Klopt dit wel? Wat als burgers konden meebeslissen over het gemeentebudget? Is democratie niets meer dan een vakje aankruisen op een stembiljet?
In de nieuwe editie van haar boek Reclaim the State: Experiments in Popular Democracy kijkt de Britse auteur Hilary Wainwright over de hele wereld, van Brazilië naar Engeland, naar experimenten met een andere vorm van democratie, een waarin burgers actief deelnemen in beslissingen over publieke voorzieningen en diensten.

Hilary Wainwright zal in discussie gaan met Joost Kircz van AA/DG over ervaringen met lokale politiek en, in het licht van haar boek, haar kijk op de succesen, mogelijkheden en beperkingen van directe democratie.

Voertaal: Engels
Hilary is op 17 en 18 maart beschikbaar voor interviews. Neem daarvoor contact op met  nina@tni.org
Tijd: 20.00-21.30
Plaats: IIRE, Lombokstraat 40, NL-1094 AL
Amsterdam
Gratis entree, donaties welkom

Reclaim the State? Expr. in Pop. Democrazy 
nn - 12.03.2010 19:01

Date: Wednesday, 17 March 2010
Time: 20-21:30hrs
Venue: IIRE, Lombokstraat 40, NL-1094 AL Amsterdam
ENTRANCE: Free, donations welcome


PANEL:
Hilary Wainwright, Fellow of the Transnational Institute (TNI), Editor of the British magazine Red Pepper and the author of 'Reclaim the State: Experiments in Popular Democracy'

Joost Kircz, Borough Council (Deelraad) member for the Amsterdam Anders/ De Groenen (AA/DG) party, 2002-2010

Bertil Videt (Chair), Co-director of the International Institute for Research and Education (IIRE)

Every four years, in March, the Dutch local elections offer an opportunity for the city's inhabitants to influence the look and the shape of their local governments. Or do they? What if citizens could play an active part in how the municipal budgets are spent? Is ticking a box on a ballot paper every few years really a democracy?

In the new edition of her book 'Reclaim the State: Experiments in Popular Democracy', British author Hilary Wainwright sets out on a journey from Brazil to Britain to discover real-life examples of cities experimenting with another kind of democracy, the one in which citizens actively participate in decisions over public resources and services.

Hilary Wainwright will be talking to AA/DG's Joost Kircz about his experience of local politics and, in light of her new book, her views on the successes, challenges and future of such experiments in direct democracy.

Hilary will also be available for interviews on 17&18 March. Please contact  nina@tni.org This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
