The societal impact of new technologies

In order to meet global challenges such as poverty and climate change, we depend on technological innovations. We have already become increasingly embedded in a technological ecosystem that have significant effects on our everyday lives.

The Democratic Boundary Problem Reconsidered

Ethics, Politics & Society. A Journal in Moral and Political Philosophy, N. 1, 2018, pp.89-122. Abstract Who should have a right to take part in which decisions in democratic decision making?

The group also has to be the right one. But what makes a group the right one? The criteria by which to identify the members of the people entitled to participate in collective decisions have been surprisingly difficult to pin down. In this paper, I shall revisit some of the problems discussed in my 2005 paper in light of some recent criticism and discussion of my position in the literature, and address a number of new issues.
