Title

¬The autopoietic state : communication and democratic potential in the net

Source

Journal of the American Society for Information Science. 45(1994) no.6, S.358-368

Year

1994

Abstract

The relationship between the practice of democracy and the use of new information technologies is dependent upon the technologies of communication and information, rules regarding their use and the nature of the entity making those rules. Since today developments in all three of these areas are turbulent, looks to social theory that deals with turbulence and chaos as a way of understanding the democratic potential in the qualitatively different network society. The literature drawn upon includes second-order cybernetics and chaos theory, organizational sociology, and the literature on the state. The concept of the autopoietic state is developed as a basis for determining appropriate communication policy principles for maximizing the democratic potential in the network environment
