Speaker
*President Toomas Hendrik Ilves* - Republic of Estonia
During the Enlightenment, John Locke offered a democratic solution to the
Hobbesian nightmare of a war of all against all: a social contract to
regulate the relationship between the government and free citizens. We now
need a new "Lockean contract" for the modern digital society. The President
of Estonia, Toomas Hendrik Ilves, talks about the solutions found in a
small, high-tech European democracy and calls forth Locke and Voltaire of
the digital age.
This event is co-sponsored by the CDDRL Program on Liberation Technology,
the Department of Communications,
Stanford Libraries, the Freeman Spogli Institute and the Europeans
Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Stanford Engineering.
A special thank you to the Clark Kelly McCatchy Lecture Fund for support of
