Policentricity

Visible to anyone in the world

Policentricity: Giving power and autonomy to both (instead of either... or) local and central entities.

An interesting concept, by Nobel laureate Professor Elinor Ostrom (as heard on the BBC's The Forum 05/03/2011).

Her concept of self-organisation sounds interesting too, but I'm not sure what it's meant by it.
