Sobre el "New Power" i noves formes de governar

Com a politòleg posat en el món de la tecnología em sembla fascinant el concepte de "New Power" que últimament s'està posant ja bastant de moda.

Com destaquen en un excellent article a la Harvard Business Review;

Old power works like a currency. It is held by few. Once gained, it is jealously guarded, and the powerful have a substantial store of it to spend. It is closed, inaccessible, and leader-driven. It downloads, and it captures.
New power operates differently, like a current. It is made by many. It is open, participatory, and peer-driven. It uploads, and it distributes. Like water or electricity, it’s most forceful when it surges. The goal with new power is not to hoard it but to channel it.
