What legacies will guide the future of governance design?
Governance Ecologies is a strategy for co-producing a global commons of collective governance. Our goal is to study and honor governance repertoires from beyond the dominant North-Atlantic political traditions, to gather insights from among them, and to inform the design of governance systems for a rapidly changing world.
