[Marxism] Against the Dictatorship of the Expertariat
POSTING RULES & NOTES #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. * I've just had a piece in Jacobin on post-democracy, global governance and existential threats. It doesn't mention GMOs, so hopefully Louis won't mind my posting it here. ;) --- In response to an array of 'existential threats', there has been an explosion in post-democratic international decision-making structures modelled on the IPCC/UNFCCC. There's now an 'IPCC but for biodiversity', an 'IPCC but for desertification', and a proposed 'IPCC but for antibiotic resistance'. As with the EU, independent central banks, the WTO, the IMF, the UN Security Council and the full metastasising panoply of post-democratic international governance bodies and treaties, a range of policy decisions are steadily being taken out of the hands of direct democratic control and placed in the hands of 'experts'. I argue the solutions to all of these real problems are ultimately not - or not only - scientific, but political. The solution is not a 'time-out' for democracy as James Lovelock argues, but much more democracy, global democracy. https://www.jacobinmag.com/2014/11/the-solution-is-democracy/ Cheers, Leigh Phillips Leigh Phillips European Affairs Journalist & Science Writer leigh.phill...@gmail.com Mobile: (CA) +1 250 885 1003 (UK) +44 (0)75 282 17 335 (BE) +32 (0)487 200 575 Skype ID: leighphillips Twitter: Leigh_Phillips _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
