SUMMARY:After Liberal Democracy | Open Session
DESCRIPTION:An Open Session by Integral Politics International\nLiberal democracy may well not be the endgame. If so, what are our thoughts about what could come after it?\nAfter Liberal Democracy – A Book Project and an Exploration\nIn this online session, Dr Jim Cowan and Tom Meek will take us into their current book project and Substack, After Liberal Democracy ( https://fixingpolitics.substack.com/about ). \nExpect an overview of their upcoming book’s outline and an exploration into whether Integral theory and practice give us indications about how we should govern ourselves.\nAbout the Authors\nDr Jim Cowan has over 40 years’ experience in political and social change in Britain, both academically and in community work on housing estates, with family support, disability communities, and institutional racism. As a long-term socially engaged Buddhist, he explores a shared consciousness which creates a foundation for a new future. He is also active in the Integral movement hosting the monthly meetings of the Integral UK group. His research since 2012 led to The Britain Potential (2019), highlighting the UK civil society’s creativity. Since then, he and Tom Meek have collaborated on analysing UK politics, culminating in their current project and Substack, After Liberal Democracy.\nTom Meek is a Jack of many trades. He’s been a sailor, soldier, project manager, nearly a banker, diplomat, stay-at-home Dad and, most recently, CEO of a start-up political party. He brings an understanding of how government and government departments work, what motivates politicians and judgement about realistic solutions. He wrote an internal report for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office about how to prepare for the 2020s. Many of his predictions have come true. He’s an idealist in the sense that he believes we can always do better and that this has to start within us. But he’s also resolutely practical: perfect solutions that are unachievable are useless; working together to achieve the most we can is always possible.\nAbout Integral Politics International (IPI)\nFounded at Integral Eurepean Conference (IEC) 2025, IP International is a small group of thinkers and practitioners looking into how to get integral thinking into politics.With members from mostly Europe and North America, IPI is still in a forming phase and open for active contributors. \nSign-Up and Joining\nThere’s no sign-up necessary.\n					\n									Join Zoom Call\n					\nMeeting Passcode: 090292\n
