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.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Politics are the process and method of gaining or maintaining support for public or common action: the conduct of decision-making for groups. Although it is usually applied to governments, political behavior is also observed in corporate, academic, religious, and other institutions. Political science is the field devoted to studying political behavior and examining the acquisition and application of power, or the ability to impose one's will on another. Its practitioners are known as political scientists. Political scientists look at elections, public opinion, institutional activities (how legislatures act, the relative importance of various sources of political power), the ideologies behind various politicians and interest groups, how politicians achieve and wield their influence, and so on.

Imagining Collectively Intelligent Communitie
The Co-Intelligence Institute CII home // CIPolitics home When I imagine visiting some idealized collectively intelligent community of the future, I come up with something like the following. This vision is only one of many that are possible -- some of which would undoubtedly be even more co-intelligent. This particular vision is shaped by my own perspective and experience (you can tell I love good meetings!). Your vision would undoubtedly be very different from mine -- and I encourage you to explore what it would be like.
