Statecraft, the sovereignty debate

The discussion on sovereignty needs to be implementation.
Where are we now and what needs to be done?

This bi-weekly half hour sovereignty moments hears from the key actors and architects what to do now.

One of the drivers of the biweekly session is my Springer Brief in Political Science on Statecraft.

That is the kickoff of the series.

This book describes the transition from basic automation to pervasive computing, ubiquitous computing, ambient intelligence, and the Internet of Things, and its effects on democratic decision-making and governance in Europe. It diagnoses a lack of political agency and technical capabilities in the West that has accelerated the end of the model of entrepreneurial government in favor of a new paradigm: Cyber-physical Systems. Offering an analysis of the digital transformation process in various industries and institutions, the book highlights the severe repercussions and impacts on democratic decision-making and the legitimacy of the Westphalian model of the nation-state. Readers will learn how the convergence of cloud systems, data platforms, and connected objects is facilitating this transformation process, one characterized by a virtual representation of every person, object, and machine – a digital twin.
The book argues for balancing centralization and decentralization in a cybernetic framework with human-centric values at its core
