Ivan Krastev: Can democracy exist without trust?
Five great revolutions have shaped political culture over the past 50 years, says theorist Ivan Krastev. He shows how each step forward -- from the cultural revolution of the '60s to recent revelations in the field of neuroscience -- has also helped erode trust in the tools of democracy. As he says, "What went right is also what went wrong." Can democracy survive?

Minority rule is a majority problem.

Political systems depend on legitimacy. In America, that legitimacy is failing.

Trust in trouble: how can we do democracy differently?
The UK has internationally low trust in its political institutions, with confidence in parliament halving since 1990, and very few having faith in the government or political parties.
Yet despite this disillusionment, support for democracy is extremely high and rising in the UK – we are just much less convinced by how it is working for us right now.
With the majority of the population not confident that “people like them” have a say in what the government does, is it time to consider how we can better engage citizens in decision-making?

An Election Redesign to Restore Trust in US Democracy | Tiana Epps-Johnson | TED
Election infrastructure in the United States is crumbling, says technologist Tiana Epps-Johnson, and, even worse, election officials are increasingly being attacked simply for doing their jobs. How can the country rebuild trust in its local and national elections? Epps-Johnson describes how the US Alliance for Election Excellence, a nonpartisan collaborative of election officials, technologists, designers and other experts, is working across all 50 states to improve the performance of systems serving 240 million voters, ensuring everyone has access to a fair, trustworthy and modern democratic process.

Human trust - the missing upgrade for our democracy | Liliana Carrillo | TEDxAntwerp
Via this talk, Liliana Carrillo inspires us to make use of our trust to transform the current democratic system into a more dynamic one.
Liliana invites us to trust our decision making power, our vote, the people closer to us like our friends, relatives, colleagues, and so she introduces the concept of liquid democracy where we become owners of our vote and we can decide directly and constantly on the topics that affect us if we want it, or we can delegate our vote to people who we trust so they can decide for us on these topics. If we want it, we can delegate our vote to traditional politicians too but this is not anymore completely needed. We can trust our decisions to people with deep knowledge on the specific topics that concern us.
Liliana represents the Democracy.Earth foundation...

The UK has internationally low trust in its political institutions, with confidence in parliament halving since 1990, and very few having faith in the government or political parties.
Yet despite this disillusionment, support for democracy is extremely high and rising in the UK – we are just much less convinced by how it is working for us right now.
With the majority of the population not confident that “people like them” have a say in what the government does, is it time to consider how we can better engage citizens in decision-making?
Deliberative democracy brings people from diverse backgrounds together, gives them access to credible and authoritative information, and provides the conditions for dialogue that encourages and helps people to reach conclusions and make recommendations.
It’s a process that has helped to bring about real legislative change on issues that were previously considered intractable, such as abortion.
Join our panel for the latest in the Deliberate series - a partnership between NatCen and the Policy Institute - to discuss how we can do democracy differently, and how deliberative methods could help rebuild trust in our politics.
Panel:
- Douglas Alexander, Former Minister of State and Secretary of State
- Ceri Davies, Director of the Centre for Deliberative Research, NatCen (co-chair)
- Suzanne Hall, Director of Engagement, the Policy Institute at King’s College London (co-chair)
- Miriam Levin, Chief Executive, Engage Britain

Via this talk, Liliana Carrillo inspires us to make use of our trust to transform the current democratic system into a more dynamic one.
Liliana invites us to trust our decision making power, our vote, the people closer to us like our friends, relatives, colleagues, and so she introduces the concept of liquid democracy where we become owners of our vote and we can decide directly and constantly on the topics that affect us if we want it, or we can delegate our vote to people who we trust so they can decide for us on these topics. If we want it, we can delegate our vote to traditional politicians too but this is not anymore completely needed. We can trust our decisions to people with deep knowledge on the specific topics that concern us.
Liliana represents the Democracy.Earth foundation and as its Ambassador she presents Sovereign, its blockchain application based on liquid democracy. She invites people to visit the website of the foundation and test the Sovereign tool, and also to share its mission, the creation of a global borderless democracy to facilitate the debate related to global challenges like global warming, and poverty.
Liliana dreams of upgrading our democracy to the next level, and creating it as a collective and dynamic decision process, a collective intelligence.
Liliana Carrillo is a social and digital entrepreneur, with several master diplomas in computer science, artificial intelligence, and business. Liliana has lived in 4 different countries, speaks 5 languages, and loves travelling and getting to know new people and cultures.
Liliana is a curious and creative lifelong learner, eager to learn, passionate about several topics related to humans and technology. Her personal mission is to create awareness of methodologies and technologies that can enable our collective intelligence, improve our society, and increase the sense of co-responsibility in our communities.
To build a better future with prosperity for all Liliana has chosen to work/play with kids, and work/play with high tech. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Academy Discourse Series sponsored by Mason Hayes & Curran.
Michele Nicoletti, Professor of Political Philosophy at the University of Trento, Italy and Former President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe discusses how fear, intolerance, resentment, hatred and mistrust in the ruling classes are seriously affecting European countries. Representative democracies are showing an increasing weakness and lack of efficacy in governing the great contemporary challenges, such as climate changes, migrations or the protection of social rights. This fear can either draw regressive responses, such as unstable self-identification with charismatic leaders or populist movements, or can foster emancipation. The latter is possible through a vigorous re-proposal of the principle of ‘self-belonging’, understood as, on the one hand, the aspiration that one’s dignity is respected, and, on the other, that the irreducibility and inviolability of the Self be recognized. This principle can serve as the foundation for not only an existential perspective of the liberty and relationality of the individual, but also a vision of society based upon respect for basic universal rights and discursive and participatory procedures which extend from the local to the global level.
