the regeneration potential of smart organic agriculture
by Michel Bauwens 15 Feb '11

This is a must-see video about using a combination of eco/permaculture and human/digital system to regenerate a dead region in Borneo ..., it shows you what it is possible to do when there is the will to do it and the right mechanisms: interesting video about the re-growing rain forest efforts of Willie Smits which shows the efficacy of combining natural and human systems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vfuCPFb8wk&feature=player_embedded -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens Commons Strategies Group, http://www.commonsstrategies.org/

what kind of state
by Michel Bauwens 15 Feb '11

15 Feb '11

Dear Brian, you recently wrote: http://www.thenextlayer.org/node/1356 "We need a people-state, operating at different scales -- global, continental, national, territorial -- and allowing community self-organization for survival and cultural flowering." I already recommended your analysis of the current conjuncture in Empire to our list. However, I am very interested in your elaboration of the state. With George P. here in cc, I'm starting a collective rereading of Nikos Poulantzas, and want to update my own understanding of the concept of the Partner State, If you had any material to enlighten our debates, it would be much appreciated, Michel -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens Commons Strategies Group, http://www.commonsstrategies.org/

En dat klopt ook want bijv in Egypte hebben ze het met opzet (vanwege de kwetsbaarheid) geheel leader-less gedaan. Die hadden ze ook helemaal niet nodig. Daar begrijpen de pers en de politici helemaal niets van. In de P2P Civil Society draait het nu eenmaal niet meer om bedrijfsachtig te werken met managers. In bedrijven nog wel. Als je wilt kan je deze paper publiceren op jouw site. Mijn engels is niet echt erg goed, graag je mening daarover. Ben benieuwd wat er vandaag in Iran gebeurt, Ik houd mij hart vast. jaap -- =================================== Groet van/ Yours Sincerely ir Jaap van Till http://www.vantill.dds.nl/ * HUB, LifeWeaver & Chief Scientist- Tildro Research BV * Senior Advisor- Stratix Consulting, Hilversum, NL * Emeritus professor telecommunication & networks- TUDelft; HAN univ, NL vantill(at)gmail.com +31 (6) - 55 30 3210 ================================= -- =================================== Groet van/ Yours Sincerely ir Jaap van Till http://www.vantill.dds.nl/ * HUB, LifeWeaver & Chief Scientist- Tildro Research BV * Senior Advisor- Stratix Consulting, Hilversum, NL * Emeritus professor telecommunication & networks- TUDelft; HAN univ, NL vantill(at)gmail.com +31 (6) - 55 30 3210 ================================= -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens Commons Strategies Group, http://www.commonsstrategies.org/
