[p2p-research] important questions for the p2p movement

[Michel Bauwens]

Is anyone interested in going through these questions, say, one by one, they
were asked by Frederic Sultan in preparation of the next world social forum
in dakar, with as important theme the commons:

  Dakar questions:


 The framework of the WSF (the February 7 to 11) is the place to address

the consequences and possibilities of reclaiming the commons to change the

world:

- How to design the welfare state at the age of commons ?

- How do the Rights of Mother Earth and the Commons approach complement

each other in re-designing international solidarity?

- What about popular education in the commons context ?

- What are the transformations of political processes and governance in

the era of the commons? How are changing the ways of doing politics ? what

consequences and opportunities for social movements?

- What rôle does economic actors play in the commons (free software,

wiki…, foundations, corporations, mutualism, local solidarity economic

actors, …) in the economy at global and local levels ? How ? what

alliances ? Business …and so what ?

- What are the roles of the commons regarding the consequences of the

exploitation of natural resources (war, slave-work, environmental

diseases, destruction of cultural patrimony, … ) ?

- What are the structures needed by social movements, and that they will

assume, in order to be able to spread the idea of the commons as a

political objective or demand, and to build an inclusive dynamic that

allow people who are not at this point producers of commons to become part

of the game ?
