Self-Organization and Self-Governance

The intuitive difference between a system that choreographs the motion of its parts in the service of goals of its own formulation and a system composed of a collection of parts doing their own thing without coordination has been shaken by now familiar examples of self-organization. There is a broad and growing presumption in parts of philosophy and across the sciences that the appearance of centralized information-processing and control in the service of system-wide goals is mere appearance, i.e., an explanatory heuristic we have evolved to predict behavior, but one that will eventually get swept away in the advancing tide of self-organization. I argue that there is a distinction of central importance here, and that no adequate science of complex systems can dispense with it.

Decision Making in local Self-Governance
The functions and powers of local self-governance are broadly discussed at all levels of government institutions,non-governmental organizations and communities. There is an expressed position that local communities andtheir local self-governing institutions should be given the power of subsidiary decision making in locally specificissues. However, year after year, the unanimous attitude is suppressed by financial and fiscal dependence upon thecentral government, unreasonably large territorial units with high population density. These circumstances limitdown the decision-making and, moreover, the implementation of the decisions. From this point of view, the financialand fiscal powers of local self-governing institutions and, consequently, the decision-making strata are significantlydifferent from those in other Baltic and Central European countries, as well as Scandinavian states. This articledeals with the analysis of local self-governing administration in terms of its fiscal and financial empowerment, thesize of the local communities and its impact on decision-making. A comparison is drawn with Scandinavian, centralEuropean and Baltic countries.

Creativity as neoliberal self-governance
The purpose of this article is to analyze the problem of non-professional creativity in contemporary self-help literature. Creativity, an element of work organization in the post-Fordist era, has been the subject of many critical analyses. I focus on creativity as it appears in everyday life, with the support of an examination of self-help handbooks that refer to far-east traditions, at the same time being critical of the Western lifestyle. Self-help literature is viewed here as a tool aiding the neoliberal governmentality of society. I am most of all interested in how contemporary discourse on non-professional creativity promotes technologies of autonomy aimed at the production of responsible and self-sufficient individuals. I argue that creativity is today a key mechanism of governance. It is not limited to the professional sphere but is playing an increasing role in our private lives. It is used to produce more elusive and flexible forms of self-governance than more openly repressive forms of power (based on top-down order and control).

Self-Governance in San Pedro Prison
In: The independent review: journal of political economy, Band 14, Heft 4, S. 569-585
ISSN: 1086-1653
Looking to shed light on the role of agents' type in self-enforcing exchanges, examined is how self-governing inmates of San Pedro Prison in La Paz, Bolivia, overcome obstacles to the establishment of order. Information is drawn from firsthand accounts from a former inmate, official reports, & nonincarcerated individuals who took inmate-led tours of the facility. After an overview of the prison's self-governance, attention is given to mechanisms that facilitate order: existence of economic exchange among inmates & between inmates & nonprisoners; & existence of secure property rights & well-established markets. Adapted from the source document.
Depression's Threat to Self-Governance
In: Social theory and practice: an international and interdisciplinary journal of social philosophy, Band 46, Heft 2, S. 277-297
ISSN: 2154-123X
Much of the literature on impairment to self-governance focuses on cases in which a person either lacks the ability to protect herself from errant urges or cases in which a person lacks the capacity to initiate self-reflective agential processes. This has led to frameworks for thinking about self-governance designed with only the possibility of these sorts of impairments in mind. I challenge this orthodoxy using the case of melancholic depression to show that there is a third way that self-governance can be undermined: an agent may fail to form the desire she most wants to act on.
