In an article from James Bernard Quilligan: Beyond State Capitalism The Commons Economy in our Lifetimes, Mr. Quilligan wrote “Our global economic system is now in grave crisis, threatening the entire planet, its institutions and species. A new kind of common wealth is needed to protect the assets of Earth, resolve our private and public debts, and create a global society of justice, sharing and sustainability for everyone”. There is no universally accepted definition of what constitutes global commons. However, in an international report from 1980, backed by several international organizations, global commons are said to include the oceans, the atmosphere, “parts of the earth’s surface beyond national jurisdictions,” and Antarctica. The concept is sometimes broadened to include social, intellectual and cultural resources such as traditions, languages, and scientific knowledge.Subscribe with your favorite podcast playerAndroidRSS James Bernard Quilligan has been an analyst and administrator in the field of international development since 1975.

First we need to understand development in a new way. How do we create awareness in order to build relationships and new accountability structures that will create positive social change for children? In part two of our conversation we will discuss development from the perspective of trust communities, the common trust, and the health commons. There is a need for a new narrative told by people as knowledge is held in the community and will transform development in a new way.
