This group's purpose is to create a comprehensive reference database for the analysis of Alternative Futures (Social) and how they are to be goverened. 

Governance can be understood as the political structures and institutions around which alternative future socieites can be organized. This can include the grafting of alternative socities onto existing political platforms, or the wholesale reinvention or replacement of a governance system. 

The literature surrounding this group will examine the principles behind alternative future societies, past experiments in their implementation, and methodologies for their stable creation.
