	OpenDemocracy - World Social Forum - World Economic Forum
		In ACT's first five years, the pair envisage a rolling barrage of town and village meetings, local gatherings and all the groundwork that will be needed to create a national network of involved, local campaigners working around their manifesto.
		Secondly, if ACT is to mean anything, it must be genuinely bottom-up; not a 'linear structure' of local groups answering to a head office, but an 'organic, living, growing' social movement, of which Secrett, Bailey and their team act merely as catalysts.
		When ACT is formally launched in Britain, in the 18th of October, we will begin to see what the response to all this is. Perhaps ACT's most crucial initial challenge will be to convince people that this really is something different.

		At the same time, as this transformation, or re-synthesis, is happening, most of us who have grown up in the Mennonite Church feel a strong connection to those roots and, in most cases, many of the foundational principles of the faith.
		These historical allusions are not referenced to immediately validate our concerns as dynamic ones of potential transformation for the Mennonite trajectory, but to pose a challenge to the widely shared tendency to invalidate the voice of young adults as simply too idealistic.
		As we strive to transform the model of young adult convention, we hope that the adult convention can begin to respect us as an essential contributor to the gathered body of truth-seeking sisters and brothers by which we have come to define the church.

	Creating the Active Citizen? Recent Developments in Civics Education (Research Paper 15 1998-99) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		It was argued that such a focus produced a limited notion of citizenship, according to which a good citizen was someone who understood the structure and function of government and who was aware of, and practised, their role within that formal structure.
		The Committee defined a citizen 'as one whose activity is circumscribed by the existing structures of government, who is in a position to approach government, offer views, and press cases, but not to demand rights, protest, litigate or campaign directly.
		A survey of students' perceptions of what it is to be a 'good citizen', conducted in 1994, asked 11-12 year old and 15-16 year old students to convey their views about characteristics of a 'good citizen'.(43) The findings challenged the view that governmental knowledge is at the core of citizenship.

	Due Diligence: Citizens' Media
		Over at Winds of Change, I've been going on about an idea I call citizens' diplomacy, which in its simplest form is the observation that the cross-border conversations we have begun in the blogosphere will end by having a large impact on war or peace worldwide.
		I can't help but wondering how much of the failing of pre-election and exit polls was due to citizens who had finally reached their limits with the arrogance of the legacy media, and decided to do a little ad hoc retaliation by way of poisoning the information wells.
		In the clearest demonstration to date of the power of citizens' media, dozens to hundreds of experts ranging from typography to antique typewriters to military lexicons and document formatting spontaneously organized and seem to have soundly beaten the research capabilities and judgment of a major mass media organization.

		It also acts as a window on the different regions and cultures of the country and of the world, allowing citizens who might live thousands of kilometres apart to become more familiar with one another’s concerns and predicaments.
		At the same time, news coverage which fails to address citizens’ substantive concerns and which portrays politics simply as conflict among personalities may erode citizens’ regard for the political process as a whole and discourage their participation in it.
		The more that citizens are tuned in to separate specialty channels, the less common ground they will share, and the less able they will be to participate in a meaningful debate about shared goals and values.

		For peacekeeping, and in extreme cases peace enforcement, to continue to be an effective and accepted instrument of collective security, the availability of peacekeepers must grow.
		The United Nations needs to be able to act in a coherent and effective way throughout a whole continuum that runs from early warning through preventive action to post-conflict peacebuilding.
		We recommend that the Security Council, acting under Article 29 of the Charter of the United Nations and after consultation with the Economic and Social Council, establish a Peacebuilding Commission.

		The transformation is not proving easy, and individuals and organizations are called upon to play their full role to facilitate the process.
		Nevertheless, before several individuals and organizations can begin to play more active roles to promote market systems and democracy, they often must go through their own transitions in order to become viable institutions, with management expertise capable of responding to new political and economic possibilities.
		With such new-era participation and transparency in governance issues, citizens would become better informed as they share information with increasing ease, transform their lives, and prosper.

	I. Wallerstein, "Citizens All? Citizens Some! The Making of the Citizen"
		The concept of citizen was intended to be inclusive - to insist that all persons in a state, and not just some persons (a monarch, aristocrats) had the right to be included in the process of collective decision-making in the political arena and the right to receive the social benefits the state might distribute.
		All inhabitants of a country should enjoy in it the rights of passive citizens; all have the right to the protection of their person, of their property, of their liberty, etc. But all do not have the right to play an active role in the formation of public authorities; all are not active citizens.
		The difficulty of the centrist liberals in confronting racism was their acceptance, fundamentally, of the active/passive distinction, which they framed as the difference between the inherent potential of all humans to be civilized (hence active citizens) and the current level of those who had not yet achieved their potential (hence passive citizens).

		What is new about the debate is the realisation that localisation won’t flower through the simple act of nurturing the shoots of the elements of small-scale economic systems.
		Andrew Kimbrell in Resurgence magazine (edition 214) writes of attempts by technocratic capitalists to transform the very nature of life so as to more closely mimic evolving technological systems genetic engineering, human cloning, nanotechnology and other processes are all concerned with manipulating and mass manufacturing expressions of life for commercial profit.
		While many of us would think that the most appropriate way to heal the increasing separation between humans and nature would be to place reigns on the rapidly expanding technology milieu, for corporate globalisers more money is to be made from adjusting life to fit the capitalist machine of biotechnology.
