About the Book

This version of the book is complete. However, we look forward to your comments to prepare for the possibility of an updated second edition! Written by authors with widely different cultural backgrounds, Governance From Below will stretch your thinking. It calls on everyone to think about new ways of governance that address issues at every scale from small neighborhoods to the whole earth. Involvement of children is key. The book introduces “mutual leadership,” a new concept in which children and adults strongly complement each other's capacities to enjoy living in harmony with others.
