Life, Liberty, and ... the Pursuit of Copyright?
An Atlantic Unbound Roundtable featuring Lawrence Lessig, John Perry
Barlow, Mark Stefik, and Charles C. Mann.
Can the sum of our ideas be reduced to "intellectual property"? Or should
all information, all knowledge, be set free? As we rethink our institutions
governing copyright and intellectual property in the digital age, what
touchstones, what principles, should we look to? What is at stake in the
legislative battle over the ownership of culture?

Local, National, Global: Three Strategies for Deglobalization
by American Author, Mark Whittaker.
 This essay posits a work of theory in how to systemically integrate
and conceptualize urbanization and political parties into fully 'functional' actors
in a theory of state, and what types of state laws effect an equitable balance of power.
The balance of power should theoretically take more than the
governments organization into account, as it traditionally does.

Managing Knowledge Networks for Sustainable Development (PDF file)

Myth of the Compact theory of Canadian Federation
By Stéphane Paquin
(Maître de conférences at the Institut d’études politiques de Paris.
  Visiting lecturer, Northwestern University, Chicago (2001-2002)
"The visions of the origins of Canada and federalism that developed among
Anglophone Canadians and Quebeckers (not to mention the Aboriginal peoples,
who have their own compact theory) were based on long historical traditions.
Those traditions were rooted in indifference toward the other’s needs.
In Canada today, the historic origins of national identities and federalism
are the subject of considerable political debate.  Sensitivities are running very high.
Anglophone Canadians have a legitimate vision of the country,
but their demographic and political weight makes theirs a dominant vision.
Therein lies the problem."

Was Democracy Just a Moment?
By Robert D. Kaplan
The global triumph of democracy was to be the glorious climax of the
American Century. But democracy may not be the system that will best serve
the world -- or even the one that will prevail in places that now consider
themselves bastions of freedom.
