Podcast appearances and mentions of James S Fishkin

I kulturkriget står demokratin på spel. Det polariserade politiska landskapet är ett symptom på en sjuk demokrati, det slår Stanford-professorn James S. Fishkin fast. Men han har en lösning. P1 Kulturs Lisa Bergström har träffat honom. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Polarisering följer i kulturkrigets spår, människor blir motståndare till varandra där den andre ses som en fiende och dialog blir omöjlig. Ett sådant klimat göder populism, enkla lösningar och misstro mot etablerade medier. Hur kan utvecklingen vändas? James S. Fishkin, professor i statsvetenskap vid Stanford University i Kalifornien, hävdar att ett av svaren kan vara deliberativ demokrati – alltså att folkets vilja framträder genom samtal, diskussioner och överväganden. Med hjälp av AI-teknik har han och forskarlaget vid Deliberative democracy lab hittat nya metoder för medborgarinflytande. P1 Kulturs Lisa Bergström tog tåget till Stanford University för att höra hur James S. Fishkin menar att demokratin kan räddas.

Under Trumps andra presidentperiod rasar kulturkriget i USA som aldrig förr och den politiska polariseringen hårdnar finns det bot för en krisande demokrati? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Kulturkriget – alltså kampen om värderingar, kultur, identitet och livsstil – pågår över hela världen, men i USA har president Trump tagit det till en ny nivå under 2025. Redan i december förra året utlovade han till exempel krafttag mot det som kallas DEI (diversity, equality and inclusion), alltså åtgärder för att främja mångfald, jämlikhet och inkludering, något som skett i stor omfattning på bland annat kulturinstitutionerna som finansieras med federala medel. Varför är det så viktigt för president Trump att ha kontroll över kulturen? P1 Kulturs Roger Wilson medverkar i samtal om vilka frågor som är i fokus för just nu och om vilka konsekvenser kulturkriget får för offentliga samtalet.SAMTAL OCH ARGUMENT – BOT FÖR EN SJUK DEMOKRATI?Polarisering följer i kulturkrigets spår, människor blir motståndare till varandra där den andre ses som en fiende och dialog blir omöjlig.

Tidningarna till exempel, ville engagera läsarna och få igång diskussioner om innehållet i journalistiken, men på köpet fick de hatiska inlägg, skräp-postande och politiska påverkanskampanjer. Så vad hände med drömmarna om läsarmedverkan där alla är demokratiska vinnare? Reportage av P1 Kulturs Emma Engström.RADIOESSÄN: ELITER, POLARISERING OCH MAKTDet har talats mycket om eliten och om polarisering de senaste decennierna. Men vad handlar det egentligen om – och hur hänger det ihop? I dagens OBS återvänder litteraturforskaren Jimmy Vulovic till två inflytelserika analyser av vår delade värld.NY UTSTÄLLNING MED DEN ÅLDRADE PICASSOS VERKPublikrusning! På Moderna museet i Stockholm öppnade nyligen ”Sena Picasso” – en utställning som redan har fått en stor publik och fin kritik. Kulturredaktionens konstkritiker Mårten Arndtzén har varit där och är förtjust över att få uppleva Pablo Picassos verk som han skapade i åttioårsåldern. Varför är det så roligt?Programledare Lisa BergströmProducent Maria Götselius

If we had the power to design our own political system, what would it look like? Stanford Professor James Fishkin talks with Steve about deliberative democracy, a method that brings together diverse, representative groups to weigh policy trade-offs in a fact-based, civil environment. He maintains that when people get the chance to discuss issues in depth, they often move away from extremes, suggesting that polarization isn't as unbreakable as pundits claim. James presents some examples, like how deliberative polling in Texas led to a massive shift toward wind energy. Steve acknowledges his skepticism and asks whether James believes this could translate into real power, like shaping a federal job guarantee or breaking the corporate stranglehold on policy. James argues that while deliberative democracy isn't a magic fix, it's a tool to cut through misinformation and empower ordinary people, offering a glimpse of what democracy could be. (When we wrest control from the hands of the ruling class.) James S. Fishkin holds the Janet M. Peck Chair in International Communication at Stanford University where he is Professor of Communication, Professor of Political Science (by courtesy) and Director of the Deliberative Democracy Lab.He is the author of Democracy When the People Are Thinking (Oxford 2018), When the People Speak (Oxford 2009), Deliberation Day (Yale 2004 with Bruce Ackerman) and Democracy and Deliberation (Yale 1991).He is best known for developing Deliberative Polling® – a practice of public consultation that employs random samples of the citizenry to explore how opinions would change if they were more informed. His work on deliberative democracy has stimulated more than 100 Deliberative Polls in 28 countries around the world. It has been used to help governments and policy makers make important decisions in Texas, China, Mongolia, Japan, Macau, South Korea, Bulgaria, Brazil, Uganda and other countries around the world.

Today's guest is Professor James Fishkin, a pioneering scholar in the field of deliberative democracy and the author of the timely and thought-provoking book, Can Deliberation Cure the Ills of Democracy? In a time of extreme polarization, political disillusionment, and rising authoritarianism, Professor Fishkin offers a compelling case for how structured, inclusive public deliberation can revitalize democratic systems. From global experiments to the core mechanics of deliberative polling, this episode explores how we might move beyond shouting matches and toward shared understanding.

“The three ills of democracy that I propose to address with this method, which we've perfected over the last several decades. Democracy is supposed to make some connection with the "will of the people." But how can we estimate the will of the people when everyone is trying to manipulate it?”James S. Fishkin holds the Janet M. Peck Chair in International Communication at Stanford University where he is Professor of Communication, Professor of Political Science (by courtesy), Senior Fellow of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, and Director of the Deliberative Democracy Lab. He is also a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a Guggenheim Fellow, and a Fellow of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences. His work focuses on Deliberative Polling, a process of deliberative public consultation that has been conducted more than 150 times around the world. He is the author of Can Deliberation Cure the Ills of Democracy?, Democracy When the People Are Thinking (OUP) and other books.“Deliberative democracy is itself, when properly done, a kind of democracy that can speak to the interests of a community. And we need that all over the world.”Episode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast

There’s a widespread belief that there’s no point talking to people you disagree with because they will never change their minds. Everyone is too polarized and attempts to discuss will merely result in greater polarization. But the history of the world is defined by changes of mind –that’s how progress (or even regress) is made: shifts in political, cultural, scientific beliefs and paradigms. So how do we ever change our minds about something? What are the perspectives that foster constructive discussion and what conditions destroy it? Margaret Heffernan talks to international academics at the forefront of research into new forms of democratic discourse, to journalists involved in facilitating national conversations and to members of the public who seized the opportunity to talk to a stranger with opposing political views: Eileen Carroll, QC Hon, Principal Mediator and Co-founder, Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution Jon Connor-Lyons, participant, Britain Talks James S.
