Facilitate changes

The change to implement in
values and representations appears as a
major transversal strategic line. It is
a dimension which has been considered for
a long time within the alliance, with a
pole called Values, Art, Culture, Education,
Science and through the reflections in the
Governance/Citizenship pole. We must complete
it from a socio-economic perspective. I
propose to state here common Values, and
underline the need for Ecoliteracy: literacy
in the principles of Socio-Economy as well
as Ecology. This idea emerged from the reading
of F. Capra and I will develop it in a future
message. message.

Strategic Line 2: |
Acknowledge and consolidate the
emergence of new socioeconomic practices

This SL is the one I have
added to the scheme (map) I had presented
you in Dourdan. I believe it is important
to underline this notion of emergence and
already existing practices and differentiate
them from the other strategic line related
to practices, which is Building Sustainable
Communities, and which is more an overall
objective than a perceptible reality. We
should perhaps add "new sustainable socioeconomic
practices based on sustainability and solidarity",
but that would be a little too long. I have
already mentionned that this SL will have
two sub lines: solidarity socio-economy
practices, and innovations/mutation in company
practices. Details in a future message.

Strategic Line 3: |
Towards another development paradigm

*Build Sustainable Communities*
is a major dimension for action and synergies.
At this level (starting from local communities
/ territories and building up to national/regional/global
level), the convergence and synergies between
economical, political, ecological, social
and cultural actions can be organized. It
is the level that links us (roots us) with
the environment and our own nature (allowing
well-being). Integration of activities,
partnership and scale articulation also
start at this level. We should discuss in
details the principals and objectives in
building those sustainable communities,
as well as concrete action (with perhaps
examples) that can be done through them.

Strategic Line 4: |
Reform the State and its Policies

*Reform the State and its
Policies* seems a precondition for the global
emergence of sustainable communities. This
SL comes from the division I did of the
"governance" SL in the map presented in
Dourdan (the other half is Global Governance).
After highliting innovations in the socio-political
field related to the economics (such as
the participatory budget), we should discuss
what the new principles for public action
should be at the State level, at what its
agenda for new economic policies should
be. I have made a proposal based on the
reading of the proposal notebooks.

Strategic Line 5: |
Build an efficient and legitimate
Global Economic Governance

Visual Mind |
|
| |
*Build an efficient and legitimate
Global Economic Governance* (or "Create
the conditions for...") is an essential
SL for governance, sustainability and dynamic
balance. As in State Reform, the challenge
is to succeed the transition between vertical
hegemonic institutions to a network of institutions
answering to the global challenges, that
would be under multiple checks and balances.
There will be some debate here, as changes
need to be deep, debate on the future of
Bretton Woods institutions, of the United
Nations systems, and moreover on the type
of global governance (principles and institutions)
we need. But there seems to be an agreement
in the Alliance and the WSSE on a "pluralist
and decentralized system of global economic
governance".
