Soy Ismael Peña-López.
Soy Director General de Participación Ciudadana y Procesos Electorales en la Generalitat de Catalunya.
Anteriormente, y durante cerca de 13 años, fui profesor de los Estudios de Derecho y de Ciencia Política de la Universitat Oberta de Catalunya.
He sido también investigador senior en Open Evidence y director fellow de Innovación Abierta de la Fundació Jaume Bofill.
Mis principales ámbitos de trabajo son el impacto de las TIC en la sociedad (e-Readiness, brecha digital), especialmente en el desarrollo (e-Inclusión, ICT4D) y las instituciones educativas (e-Learning, competencia digital) y políticas (e-participación, e-democracia).
I just published a short article on the future of libraries.
As the Information Society advances, the need of a dire transformation in what libraries do and their mission —among may other institutions— is becoming more and more urgent. My point in the article is that libraries need to transform themselves to help other institutions in their own transformation. Governments, Administrations and, all in all, all democratic institutions need to rethink themselves almost from scratch. And they will not be able to do it unless they find an active citizenry also rethinking its role as full citizens.
My line of thought, thus, in the article is how libraries can help citizens to become more active and empowered and, at their turn, these active citizens can help democratic institutions to become central in society again.
The article has been published as Open government in new digital states: which libraries for which citizens? ...
During 2016 and 2017 I took part on a research led by IT for Change, within the research project titled Voice or Chatter? Using a Structuration Framework Towards a Theory of ICT-mediated Citizen Engagement, and within the umbrella of the research programme Making All Voices Count. My research thoroughly analyzed the case of Decidim, the city council of Barcelona citizen participation initiative to collectivelly ellaborate the strategic plan of the city for 2016-2019.
This book, Shifting participation into sovereignty: the case of decidim.barcelona is the gathering of a policy brief, a state of the art of technopolitics in Spain and a case study of Barcelona's Decidim participation initiative, with some minor improvements. It is the last one of a total of 16 different research outputs of the project, ranging from policy and academic papers to speeches ...

Participation cannot take place at the end of a public policy decision, but has to be intrinsic to the whole project. Participation has to impact not only the key actors, but the whole of the citizenry and the whole of the Administration.
When participation takes place at the beginning of a policy-making process, people tend to turn complains into proposals, tend not to say "no" but "I would like this".
Territory safekeeping is a formal agreement between someone that wants to use the territory and a civic organization that wants to take care of a given territory. In this case, civil society approaches better the territory than the Administration. There ...

En junio de 2019 me escribió Bernat Puigtobella. Me invitaba a reflexionar para las páginas de la revista Barcelona Metròpolis sobre un tema interesante:
En los últimos años ha aparecido una nueva concepción de la cultura que ha puesto el foco en la participación y las prácticas comunitarias. La incubación de proyectos culturales hoy ya no se valora sólo a partir de su retorno económico o impacto mediático sino por su capacidad transformadora para crear conciencia ciudadana, ataduras, tejido ciudadano, comunidad, etc. [...] Estas nuevas prácticas comunitarias nos invitan a preguntarnos qué rol tendrán los artistas y creadores en ...
