TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a new post-liberal theory of democracy that expands and redefines the concept of democracy in a way that facilitates the envisioning of both the positive and negative implications of new forms of interactive network governance.
Abstract: Governance networks are here to stay. They have become a necessary ingredient in the production of efficient public governance in our complex, fragmented and multi-layered societies. The big question has become the extent to which governance networks also contribute to democratic decision-making. Governance networks that take active part in determining the content of public policy making have traditionally been regarded as a threat to democracy on the grounds that they undermine the sovereign position of elected politicians and the autonomy of civil society; however, the liberal democratic model of parliamentary democracy no longer provides an adequate understanding of what democracy is and how it can be properly institutionalized. Fortunately, we witness the emergence of a new post-liberal theory of democracy that expands and redefines the concept of democracy in a way that facilitates the envisioning of both the positive and negative implications of the new forms of interactive network governance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss what is currently known about bullying in academia, with a particular focus on faculty behavior and apply empirical and conceptual findings from research on aggression and bullying in other work settings and the significant literature on conflict management in higher education.
Abstract: Although much research has been done on workplace aggression and bullying over the past two decades, academics have paid relatively little attention to bullying in their own institutions. In this article, we discuss what is currently known about bullying in academia, with a particular focus on faculty behavior, and apply empirical and conceptual findings from research on aggression and bullying in other work settings and the significant literature on conflict management in higher education. We begin by describing the nature and prevalence of aggression and bullying in higher education. Drawing on well-established findings from interpersonal aggression research, we discuss several important social, situational, and contextual antecedents to aggression (including academic culture, climate, values, and work practices) and demonstrate how these may serve as causes and consequences of bullying. Embedded in this discussion, we offer a number of specific propositions for future research. We conclude with a discu...

TL;DR: The Everyday Maker as mentioned in this paper is a new form of political engagement, which attempts to combine individuality and commonality in new relations of self-and co-governance, and it can be seen as a new political identity.
Abstract: A powerful feature of Putnam’s social capital framework is the attention it directs towards a critical question for democracies: How is democratic civic engagement created, sustained and expanded (cf Levi, 1996, p. 52) However, Putnam’s investigation into this problem neglects considerations concerning the consequences of the ongoing transition of democratic government into democratic governance. As a result, his evaluation of the state of affairs of Western democracy becomes more gloomy than need be. A study of democratic governance and civic engagement in Denmark draws the contours of a new political identity, the Everyday Maker. The Everyday Maker represents a new form of political engagement, which attempts to combine individuality and commonality in new relations of self-and co-governance. Seen from Putnam’s government perspective there is a serious risk that the researcher comes to ignore the political potential of the Everyday Makers and see them as nothing but individuals “bowling alone.”

TL;DR: In this paper, social media and public administration are studied in the context of social media. But they do not consider how to use social media in public administration, and do not address the issues of privacy.

TL;DR: In this paper, a reinterpretation and reformulation of the basic concepts of liberal democracy to make them more useful as guidelines for the promotion of democracy in political systems characterised by network governance is proposed.
Abstract: The images and techniques for exercising societal governance have changed considerably over the last 30 years. We have moved from the age of bureaucratic government to the age of network governance. This change challenges the traditional image of liberal democracy in several ways. Hence, network governance makes more visible inherently contradictory elements in central concepts of liberal democracy such as "the people", "representation", "administration", "politics", "equality", and "liberty". Therefore, what is needed is a reinterpretation and reformulation of the basic concepts of liberal democracy to make them more useful as guidelines for the promotion of democracy in political systems characterised by network governance. Efforts to do so reveal that the emergence of a system of network governance does not necessarily endanger liberal democracy. It can just as well be seen as a call for a radicalisation and extension of its role in the regulation of processes of societal governance.
