Joi(chi) Ito has posted a long-but-interesting piece on emergent democracy. There's a lot to disagree with here (sorry, blogging isn't going to reshape the political structures of western democracies) but the whole piece is thought-provoking. The possibility that the internet might encourage countries to move towards a participative democracy along the lines of the Swiss model is something that I've been interested in since I found the web faith in the mid-90s.
