Political systems of the world today represent a variety of differing views about governance. Whether it operates as a republic, theocracy, dictatorship, or monarchy, these systems can be seen as attempts to reconcile two fundamental concerns within any society – that of the individual and the collective.
As with all forms of life, no individual can exist separate from a collective influence, and no society can exist without the influence of individuals. For this reason, some system of organization is necessary to create order and enable people to work together.
Of course, a form of government suitable for of a peaceful planetary society whose aim is to enable cooperation and the alignment of mutual self-interest is very different from that of an individual nation state, whose aim is to protect and defend its own self-interest.
How then can we build from everything we’ve learned from political systems now and throughout history to create a new model of governance necessary for a harmonious global civilization?
Transforming a major sector of human society is a complex undertaking. These sectors, or spheres, are complex systems that involve nuanced relationships between many parts and also with the environment. These relationships give rise to collective outcomes and behaviors that are difficult to see as a whole. In addition, people who participate in and are affected by these systems come from different backgrounds with different belief systems, and therefore tend to draw different conclusions about the best way to solve them.
Within this dynamic, various strategies are put forth that address various aspects, and reflect different ideas and perspectives. Even strategies that have historically failed are often championed again because different people have different interpretations of history, and therefore draw different conclusions about what works and what doesn’t.
With this in mind, our goal on this site is simply to illuminate, in general terms, various strategies within the collective mind that aim to close the gap between today’s reality and the future potential of this sphere of human activity. The strategies are not meant to be comprehensive solutions, but general approaches or paths forward.
Members are then invited to rank the strategies by registering an up or down vote to indicate your view on the relative importance or priority of each strategy. Over time, this information will assist research teams in developing new reports for publication.
