The online journal Re-public has just published a very interesting issue on The promise of the commons. The issue explores the technocultural openings that the concept of the ‘commons’ presents for contemporary democratic theory and practice. Among the articles are a piece by Richard Stallman on The free software movement, a piece by IEET Fellow Douglas Rushkoff Commons: Creating an alternative value system, and a piece by Michel Bauwens, Peer production, peer governance, peer property, among many others.  (posted on Amor Mundi)
