Transparency

Government as a Platform

Crisis of Legitimacy Legitimacy is: the capacity of a political system to engender and maintain the belief that existing political institutions are the most appropriate and proper ones for the society.

Seymour Martin Lipset

A Crisis of Legitimacy

A Second Wave of Democracy If the first wave of democracy established elected and accountable institution of governance, but with a weak public mandate and an inert citizenry ‌

‌ the second wave will be characterized by strong representation and a new culture of public deliberation built on active citizenship.

It must be a 21st century network in the sense that it harnesses digital communications tools and platforms to achieve its goals.

45 | Š 2014 Global Solution Networks. A Program of the Rotman School, University of Toronto. All Rights Reserved.

4. Self-Organized Governance

The network’s membership, governance and modus operandi is voluntary and self-organizing. States or private corporations do not control the network, although it may have been initiated by a state or state-based institution and have since evolved into a true multi-stakeholder solutions network.

Some networks provide such a wide range of capabilities they could be described as Networked Institutions.

They are not state-based but rather true multi-stakeholder networks.

But the value they generate can range from knowledge generation, advocacy and policy development to the actual delivery of solutions to global problems.

Rethinking Leadership Paradigm

shifts

involve

dislocation, conflict,

confusion,

uncertainty. New paradigms are nearly always received with coolness, even

mockery or hostility. Those with vested interests fight the change.

The shift demands such a different view of things that established leaders are often

last to be won over, if at all.
