(Français) Origins Initially, the idea of the Polaris Institute was conceived in 1996 following a decade of social movement building in opposition to two major free trade agreements that dramatically restructured the economy and society here in Canada.

Polaris Institute

The pivotal lesson that emerged from this social movement experience was that transnational corporations had effectively secured control over the reins of public policy making in this country [and elsewhere] to the point where people were becoming politically disenfranchised. In effect, a form of corporate governance had been established which, in turn, meant that citizen movements had to develop new methods, strategies and tools in order to bring about democratic social change. What's more, it became evident that social movements in other countries were facing similar challenges.

Imagine a voting system which: 1. one is a candidate from receiving only one vote from another. 2. all candidates are in a ranked hierarchy in real-time. 3. popularity isn't the only measure, strength of vote is also a factor. 4. it is peer ranking instead of popular ranking. 5. generalist selection is mandatory (two or more). 6. specialist selection is an option. 7. direct referendum votes are an option. 8. can be used in conventional organizations to form executive committees.

sd-2 : Structural Deep Democracy

Structural Deep Democracy(SD2) is a transitive proxy voting approach to democratic-republicanism. SD2 uses TMMP modified PageRank as a centrality algorithm to analyze votes to determine the center of TRUST and CONSENT in a human trust network, then keeps those leaders accountable with frequent rank recalculations. The top three or five lead such an organization with one of them as the executive. This creates a small and efficient locus of trust and accountability to lead the organization.
