民主选择的流动性视角
A Liquid Perspective on Democratic Choice
摘要:
流动民主的概念回应了人们普遍感到的使民主更加“流动”和持续参与的愿望。其核心前提是使用户能够使用网络技术来控制和委托投票权,以可扩展的方式接近直接民主的理想,并考虑到时间和注意力的限制。然而,有许多潜在的定义、意义和实现流动民主的方法,以及可能部署流动民主的许多不同目的。本文发展和探讨了“流动”的概念,以及它可能意味着什么,以提高选民的选择,通过扩大投票权,改善比例代表制,简化或帮助选民在他们的选择,或通过专业化的规模直接民主。本文的目标是解开和进一步发展流动民主思想经常体现的许多概念和目标中的一些,探索它们与现有民主传统(如可转移投票和政党)的合理性,并探索流动民主制度的潜在风险和解决这些风险的方法。
英文摘要:
The idea of liquid democracy responds to a widely-felt desire to make democracy more "fluid" and continuously participatory. Its central premise is to enable users to employ networked technologies to control and delegate voting power, to approximate the ideal of direct democracy in a scalable fashion that accounts for time and attention limits. There are many potential definitions, meanings, and ways to implement liquid democracy, however, and many distinct purposes to which it might be deployed. This paper develops and explores the "liquid" notion and what it might mean for purposes of enhancing voter choice by spreading voting power, improving proportional representation systems, simplifying or aiding voters in their choice, or scaling direct democracy through specialization. The goal of this paper is to disentangle and further develop some of the many concepts and goals that liquid democracy ideas often embody, to explore their justification with respect to existing democratic traditions such as transferable voting and political parties, and to explore potential risks in liquid democracy systems and ways to address them.
