What is development?

What is society?

Inspired in Welzel, C., Inglehart, R. & Klingemann, H. (2003).

“The theory of human development: A cross-cultural analysis

Based in Castells, M. (2000). “Materials for an exploratory theory of the network society”

What has changed?

Politics happen in a closed place

Participation can happen anywhere, in the open

Politics take place at a scheduled time

Participation can take place whenever

Someone preset does politics

You can participate with everyone, with whom you choose

Someone proposes something programmed

Nothing lasts forever, you have to debate about what to debate

Changing the programme

is expensive

Not changing the programme ends up being expensive

Collaboration is expensive

Competition and reinventing the wheel ends up being expensive

Content and container are inseparable

Content is volatile,

the container is you
