Abstract

In this chapter, the recent changes in governance are considered from rights- and legitimacy-based perspectives. While not aiming at an exhaustive treatment of the matter, this chapter teases out some emergent issues that merit further consideration. Although, if a posthumanist framework is accepted, it is no longer reasonable to rely on a human rights-based assessment, it is important to show how some otherwise taken-for-granted assumptions are rendered questionable today. For that reason, some provisions from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) are compared against the current trends in algorithmic governance. Meanwhile, a consideration of legitimacy, particularly in its political sense, helps uncover the emergent fault lines within the three-way interplay between the electorates, the public authorities, and code.
