SUMMARY:Towards a People Powered Politics
DESCRIPTION:How could politics evolve to make the most of a population’s collective intelligence? How can expertise feed into decision-making? How can the public engage as policies are considered\, decided on and implemented? Geoff Mulgan will share his thoughts on some promising answers from around the world which could point to very different ways of organising politics in the future. \nBetween 1997 and 2004 Geoff had various roles in the UK government including director of the Government’s Strategy Unit and head of policy in the Prime Minister’s office. Before that he was the founder and director of the think-tank Demos and the first Chief Executive of the Young Foundation\, which became a leading centre for social innovation. He has also been Chief Adviser to Gordon Brown MP; a lecturer in telecommunications; an investment executive; and a reporter on BBC TV and radio. Under his leadership as CEO\, Nesta has moved out of the public sector to become a charity (in 2012)\, launched a range of new initiatives in investment\, programmes and research\, and has implemented a new strategy involving partnerships with other funders in the UK and internationally. \nHis recent books include The Art of Public Strategy – Mobilising Power and Knowledge for the Public Good (OUP\, 2008)\, Good and Bad Power: the ideals and betrayals of government (Penguin\, 2006) and Connexity (Harvard Business Press and Jonathon Cape\, 1998). His latest book The Locust and the Bee was published by Princeton University Press in March 2013. \nThis event is organised by QPol as part of Imagine: Festival of Ideas and Politics 2016 \nTo book your place click here.
