THE DEMOCRACY-TECHNOCRACY TUG OF WAR
|
|

Ruth Hubbard

There have been increasing tensions between elected officials and bureaucrats over the last while as the governing process has become more complex: more bureaucratic disloyalty, and a dangerous claim by bureaucrats that they have a better view of the public interest than the elected officials.

MEDIA, IMPRECATION AND DISINFORMATION
|
|

Gilles Paquet

Imprecators often reveal important sources of scandals, but they too can fall into character assassination and intimidation. Journalism often uses humour, pseudo-investigative ventures and editorializing as various ways to transgress the important boundaries between reporting, serious police investigation, and the rendering of judgment. Disinformation ensues and this may have a toxic impact on governance.
