Power - Governance by Jared Poon https://padlet.com/jaredpoon/powergovernance Made with good vibes en-us 2021-06-10 07:23:39 UTC 2021-06-11 07:32:52 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f33c.png There is a strong sense that our current moment represents a portentous and shaky transition between an old world order and a new, as-yet-undefined one. What does the shift in the nature of power mean for governance? jaredpoon https://padlet.com/jaredpoon/powergovernance/wish/1597954331 2021-06-10 07:23:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jaredpoon/powergovernance/wish/1597954331 https://padlet.com/jaredpoon/powergovernance/wish/1600567419 I still think the traditional framework on bases of power is relevant just that the sources are probably more decentralised ]]> 2021-06-11 07:24:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jaredpoon/powergovernance/wish/1600567419 Hmmm it's interesting that the question is framed as a transition between an old world order and a new world order. Not really sure if there is such a clear distinction between two separate states, or if the "world order" has been constantly changing, and has been constantly in flux. e.g. social media as just another step in the evolution of the flow of information, from the printing press to broadcast media to social media? e.g. shift in US-China world order as just another stage in the evolution of world powers? etc https://padlet.com/jaredpoon/powergovernance/wish/1600568099 2021-06-11 07:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jaredpoon/powergovernance/wish/1600568099 https://padlet.com/jaredpoon/powergovernance/wish/1600569275 im not sure if the nature of power has shifted; seems like the centre of power is shifting away from govt, where governance is involved]]> 2021-06-11 07:26:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jaredpoon/powergovernance/wish/1600569275 https://padlet.com/jaredpoon/powergovernance/wish/1600570381 Power of government diminished by power of the people through the social media. Power of the government diminished by power beyond borders, Big Tech, and other influencers on the social media.]]> 2021-06-11 07:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jaredpoon/powergovernance/wish/1600570381 Not sure it's an old-world-new-world order shift. Seems more of an oscillation of power base from institutions to individuals. When it gets too much, it'll swing the other way https://padlet.com/jaredpoon/powergovernance/wish/1600570667 2021-06-11 07:27:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jaredpoon/powergovernance/wish/1600570667 What used to work pre-COVID/industrial age may not work (in the same manner) in the future. Maybe instead of government's power, the power is in the people next time. Education used to be the leveller, but it is also contributing to the inequality between the haves and have-nots. Maybe in the past, people with authority (bosses/teachers) have more power, but in the future, it will probably be the staffers/students who have the power (for change). https://padlet.com/jaredpoon/powergovernance/wish/1600570793 2021-06-11 07:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jaredpoon/powergovernance/wish/1600570793 https://padlet.com/jaredpoon/powergovernance/wish/1600571574 Power is being decentralised with social media, from the traditional government as a single body to individual government representatives and the people - more challenging to consolidate power and govern]]> 2021-06-11 07:28:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jaredpoon/powergovernance/wish/1600571574 https://padlet.com/jaredpoon/powergovernance/wish/1600573566 Social media is increasingly the favoured and main mode of communications between people-people and organisation-people. Going forward, tech giants who control these platforms could play a more role in governance by virtue of their hold over communication channels.]]> 2021-06-11 07:29:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jaredpoon/powergovernance/wish/1600573566 https://padlet.com/jaredpoon/powergovernance/wish/1600574877 Also the growing power of the message not the content, which means facts matter less than the message, undercutting the value of government.
