The Ecovillage Movement Today - Ecovillages
From Ecovillages EcoCentro IPEC - Brazil, a sustainability education center, is one of the many thousands of ecovillage projects worldwide. I often find it hard to tell people just what an ecovillage is, since ecovillage projects take many forms, and the ecovillage movement keeps on morphing and evolving.Takis Fotopoulos - The limitations of Life-Style Strategies: The Ecovillage “Movement” is NOT the way towards a new democratic society
DEMOCRACY & NATURE : The International Journal of INCLUSIVE DEMOCRACY vol.6, no.2, (July 2000) Abstract : This paper compares and contrasts the lifestyle strategies (like that of the Global Ecovillage movement) with the transitional strategy for systemic change proposed by the Inclusive Democracy project. The limitations of life-style strategies, as well as those of direct action, the main example today being the anti-globalisation movement, are discussed. It is argued that the differences in strategies reflect paradigmatic differences, i.e. differences related to the respective analyses of the present situation, as well as differences in goals and means. Two paradigms Ted Trainer’s paper provides a strong case for the ecovillage movement, which seems to have a certain following, particularly in the North (Europe, USA, Australia) as well as some limited influence in the South.
