Articles about Co-Intelligent Politics and Democracy

 

From the co-intelligence perspective, democratic politics is the activity of human groups, communities and societies co-creating their future together. Co-intelligent politics involves and addresses the health and capacity of whole human systems more than individual citizens, adversarial interest groups or isolated issues. Co-intelligent democratic politics exercises, utilizes and enhances the capacity of "We, The People" to generate the very real wisdom we need to make it through the 21st century. It seeks to institutionalize that capacity so that it is exercised competently and repeatedly at all levels and in all sectors of society. In order to understand the potential and practice of co-intelligent politics and "wise democracy," it is necessary to understand a number of processes and innovations (both existing and envisioned), for which links are provided in the articles below.
