This vision is only one of many that are possible -- some of which would undoubtedly be even more co-intelligent. Physical arrangements and structures. Practices and rituals. 80% of the members of the community participate in at least one (and usually several) of the hundreds of "open space" gatherings held each year. Beliefs, reality and values.

Almanac of Policy Issues: World - Foreign Affairs and National S American foreign policy, shaped for decades by an ongoing Cold War with the former Soviet Union, is today still adjusting to post-Cold War realities. The dangerous, but relatively simple, bipolar world of two competing nuclear superpowers has dissolved into a unipolar or multipolar world, depending upon one's view of U.S. dominance of the international arena. U.S. foreign and national security policy has shifted from containing Soviet communism to addressing conflicts in smaller, but still dangerous, hotspots throughout the world. Often in conjunction with international bodies like the United Nations or NATO, much of American foreign policy now focuses on peacekeeping efforts in places like the Kosovo, Iraq, or Afghanistan. Debates over many foreign policy and national security issues continue to be drawn along traditional left-right lines. American foreign policy, of course, encompasses much more than matters of war and peace. Sponsored Listings

The Progressive | Peace and social justice since 1909 What Is Extreme Democracy? "Extreme democracy" is a political philosophy of the information era that puts people in charge of the entire political process. It suggests a deliberative process that places total confidence in the people, opening the policy-making process to many centers of power through deeply networked coalitions that can be organized around local, national and international issues. The choice of the word "extreme" reflects the lessons of the extreme programming movement in technology that has allowed small teams to make rapid progress on complex projects through concentrated projects that yield results far greater than previous labor-intensive programming practices. Extreme democracy is not direct democracy, which assumes all people must be involved in every decision in order for the process to be just and democratic.
