Dictionary of Ethical Politics

Description

"The world is entering a new epoch, one in which social justice, ecological balance, sustainable economic systems, and spiritual evolution will be inextricably woven into our political systems.

In order to help define this new era, and offer a resource to all those concerned about ethical governance--activists, politicians, policy makers, students, and writers--we are building a lexicon of new political thought centered on the relationship between ethics and politics. We examine the basic concepts of our political life: freedom, equality, sovereignty, justice, sustainability, sympathy, love ... and how all can exist in an interconnected balance. It is meant as a popular but serious examination of central political concepts in the light of ecology, spirituality, and radicalism

To emphasize open source collaboration, the dictionary will be developed in the Wikipedia model, using a combination of authors and activists who have been approached directly for the project, and volunteer contributors who express interest in participating. Collectively, we aim to provide 300-500 word entries on specific political terms, topics and concepts.

The Dictionary of Ethical Politics is a brought to you through the partnership of Resurgence and openDemocracy, with financial support from the Tedworth Trust." (http://resurgence.opendemocracy.net/index.php/Main_Page)
