<description><h2 id="democracy-beyond-athens">Democracy Beyond Athens</h2>
<p>While Athenian democracy is widely studied, many other societies throughout history have developed democratic and participatory governance systems. This research area examines these diverse models of democratic practice.</p>
<p>Our research challenges the narrative that democracy is exclusively a Western invention, exploring participatory governance practices from:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Indian subcontinent, including the Sangha traditions and early republics</li>
<li>Pre-colonial governance in Africa</li>
<li>Mesoamerican and South American participatory systems</li>
<li>Island societies of the Pacific</li>
<li>Medieval European commons and guild structures</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="current-projects">Current Projects</h2>
<ul>
<li>Comparative study of sortition (selection by lot) across cultures</li>
<li>Women&rsquo;s participation in ancient democratic systems</li>
<li>Documentation of consensus processes in non-state societies</li>
<li>Resource governance in ancient democratic systems</li>
</ul></description>

<ul>
<li>Long-lasting commons systems from different regions</li>
<li>Institutional design principles for sustainable resource management</li>
<li>Knowledge commons and cultural commons governance</li>
<li>Digital commons and their governance structures</li>
<li>The relationship between commoning practices and broader governance systems</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="current-projects">Current Projects</h2>
<ul>
<li>Alpine commons for forest and pasture management</li>
<li>Irrigation systems governance across cultures</li>

<description><h2 id="indigenous-governance-traditions">Indigenous Governance Traditions</h2>
<p>This research area focuses on governance practices from indigenous communities worldwide, exploring their approaches to consensus-building, resource management, conflict resolution, and leadership.</p>
<p>Indigenous governance systems often embody principles that differ significantly from Western state models, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Deep integration of governance with cultural and spiritual practices</li>
<li>Emphasis on consensus rather than majority rule</li>
<li>Responsibilities to non-human beings and future generations</li>
<li>Distributed leadership models</li>
<li>Oral traditions for encoding and transmitting governance knowledge</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="current-projects">Current Projects</h2>
<ul>
<li>Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy decision-making structures</li>
<li>Aboriginal Australian consensus processes</li>
<li>Andean ayllu governance systems</li>
<li>Arctic indigenous resource management practices</li>
</ul></description>
