Liquid democracy: a comparative study of digital urban democracy
No full textIn Liquid Democracy, author Yu-Shan Tseng offers a bold new framework for understanding democracy as a dynamic, fluid process. Challenging the idea that AI and digital tools are inherently anti-democratic, this innovative volume bridges theory and practice to investigate various “liquid conditions,” a novel concept capturing how political action flows and transforms like water within the intersections of urban spaces and digital technologies.Through an in-depth comparative study of three groundbreaking digital democracy platforms—Decide Madrid in Madrid, OmaStadi in Helsinki, and vTaiwan in Taipei—Tseng explores how digital platforms can foster participatory governance, pluralism, and alternative democratic futures. In-depth chapters critically examine the interactions between humans, algorithms, and urban systems, revealing how digital tools reconfigure the boundaries of political participation, decision-making, and collective action. Throughout the text, Tseng offers fresh insights into how democracy emerges under contingent conditions shaped by technology and geography.Drawing from years of ethnographic fieldwork, Liquid Democracy is essential reading for master’s and PhD students in geography, political science, and urban studies, as well as scholars, practitioners, and policymakers interested in digital governance, smart cities, civic technology, and algorithmic politics

Minor geographies of resistance in platform cities: interstices, intensities, and directions
No full textPlatform cities is a term that describes the phenomenon of urban spaces becoming increasingly produced through the mediations of digital platforms. Resistance in platform cities is often understood from an antagonistic space, where platform workers resist against the political economic spaces from the outside, such as acts of subversion, insurgency and refusal. Resistance that reproduces antagonistic politics has limited chances in transforming socio-economic inequalities in platform cities. Therefore, I use comparative urban ethnography to reimagine resistance and its spaces based on the grounded experiences of platform workers in Helsinki and Taipei. I introduce a new concept – the minor geographies of resistance – that accounts for interstices built between platform workers’ resistance to political-economic spaces from within and without resorting to antagonism. The comparative method reveals how creative iterations of minor resistance manifest with different political intensities (i.e. individual or collective) in these two platform cities, with implications for urban transformations. Different directions for transformation become possible when we emphasize how the interconnections between workers (and other affected parties) and economic-political spaces can turn contestations inside out rather than through external opposition. Ultimately, this approach offers a new spatial framework for rethinking and practizing resistance and its politics in platform cities
