Dear friends and colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to announce the public release of Issue #7 of the
Journal of Peer Production! This issue, which has been edited by me and
Vasilis Kostakis, features several articles which explore how the
principles of the commons, of peer production and of the social economy can
form the basis for a paradigm shift in society. We are hoping you will
enjoy them and find them useful!

Best,
George and Vasilis

New issue -- Journal of Peer Production #7: Policies for the Commons
<http://peerproduction.net/issues/issue-7-policies-for-the-commons/>
*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

A spectre is haunting the world - the spectre of the Commons. Without a
doubt, the world system is in a crisis of such magnitude that the existing
state of affairs cannot possibly be maintained for much longer. At the same
time, models based on the collective management of common goods and the
social economy have sprung up amidst this state of permanent crisis, which
suggest that another world is possible. Taking the policy proposals
originally developed by the FLOK Society project in Ecuador as a starting
point, this JoPP issue explores how the principles of the ​C​ommons, of
peer production, of free software and of the social economy can constitute
the basis for the development of appropriate policies enabling the
transition to alternative, post-capitalist social and economic models.

The articles collected in this issue address some crucial aspects of this
transformation: the transition process from a capitalist knowledge economy
towards a social knowledge economy; the transformation of the secondary
sector of the economy, with an emphasis on manufacturing and energy; and
the reconfiguration of the state and the commonification of public services
in the direction of a "Partner State" in which the resources and functions
of the state are primarily used to enable and empower autonomous social
production​.​
