New online journal *Re-public <* www.republic.gr/en> has just published the first* part* of its special issue "*Wiki politics*". The issue explores how the use of new collaborative tools (wikis, blogs, forums, mailing lists, podcasting, and videos) can transform the ways politics are practiced. Articles include:
Geert Lovink - Theses on wiki politics <http://www.re-public.gr/en/?p=135 > Wikis reflect a culture of pragmatic non-commitment, argues Geert Lovink. One edits, adds, deletes, changes and quits. Then it is time to stand up, get a coffee, smoke a cigarette, talk on the phone or chats, and return to the screen againÂ… Michel Bauwens - P2P politics, the state, and the renewal of the emancipatory traditions < http://www.re-public.gr/en/?p=128> Michel Bauwens explores the possibilities opened up by P2P projects for progressive politics, arguing that they could present an alternative to neoliberal privatization, and to the Blairite introduction of private logics in the public sphere.
