Hello!
I was wondering what the real definition (in simple terms) is of: Panarchy
I have read (in part) the wikipedia page on it, but that didn't shed much light (I mean I still can't easily explain the definition of it)
Maybe (please do!!!) someone could add a definition to wiktionary: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=Panarchy&go=Define
Please reply, and also (if you have a good definition) 'upload' your definition to wiktionary.
Thanks in advance,
Panarchy(Yes, the one from the many forums!!!)
It seems to me that panarchy is the same thing as anarchism without adjectives.
I was wondering when panarchy would pop up on the forums. I myself, have been reading a bit into it, and other related concepts, here:http://www.panarchy.org/The following also helps defines panarchy (amid related concepts): http://www.panarchy.org/anonymous/gpdb.2005.htmlBut I would highly recommend reading this as well (if not first): http://www.polyarchy.org/poststatism/english/index.html (Polyarchy: Essays on post-statism).
WARNING: This signature violates Rule 5. Stay classy!
Okay, thanks for the info guys (Panarchy is not the exact same thing as anarchy 'BrainPolice')
Can someone please update the wikitionary page (if not already done so)
Panarchy
I've given a go of making it myself, whatever the case, the article now exists.
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Panarchy
Perhaps some help with editing it, and fixing up the definitions?
I forgot wikipedia had a wikitionary... I might give it a go later on this early morning (bit of a lark this week...), and try to spruce up the page a little.
Thanks!
Oh, and I also made one on Panarchism, both need 'sprucing' up
Please do fix it up!
PS: Doing a good job so far! (Though the etymology need to be fixed up)
I am interested in panarchy, in the original definition of that word - as a choice of government. [In his 1860 article “Panarchy” de Puydt, a firm supporter of laissez-faire economics, applied the concept to the individual's right to choose any form of government without being forced to move from their current locale. This is sometimes described as "extra-territorial" (or "exterritorial") since governments often would serve non-contiguous parcels of land. - wikipedia/#1]
I am not happy to see that that same word is now being 'updated' - [ In the twentieth century the term was re-coined separately by scholars in international relations to describe the notion of global governance and then by systems theorists to describe non-hierarchal organizing theories.- wikipedia/#2]
What makes me unhappy is that this term will become more referenced and referred to as a 'systems theory' rather than the valuable option for (individual) choice of government. Panarchy, as an open choice by individuals, to choose which government (and that choice includes NONE) that person prefers to live in accordance with. This seems to me to be even better than what libertarianism has to offer in its 'non-agression' basis. Not that I don't agree with that, but lets face it, it hasn't 'sold' either ;-) I think it would be far better, as well as just down right more respectful, to not attempt to create and enFORCE a single choice onto all people living in a (human defined) area. Afterall, such a 'single choice' is not required of religions, insurance, stores, communication media etc. etc. within A specific location. So why is government 'different'?!? Unless of course its really not a necessity, but rather an accepted 'tradition' of force parading as protection?

Ah, very nice reply Jain.
You brought up some interesting points.
I'd ask of you to update the definition of Panarchy on Wikitionary.
PS: Awarded your post 5 stars!
Okay, I've updated it (forgot about it, now it's updated, see first definition)

You didn't know what it was - but you knew you'd love it - so you named yourself "panarchy"?
The difference between libertarianism and socialism is that libertarians will tolerate the existence of a socialist community, but socialists can't tolerate a libertarian community.
Could be an impulsive personality?

^Nice article. Just skimmed it, but it seems that you have the general idea of what Panarchy is.
Thedesolateone: You didn't know what it was - but you knew you'd love it - so you named yourself "panarchy"?
No, I knew what it was, I just didn't have a succinct way of telling or showing other people what it meant.
Now I do. So as soon as I memorise this line word for word, I'll be sweet!
The individual's right to choose any form of government without being forced to move from their current locale.
So yeah!
My real-life signature looked remarkably like an anarchy symbol long before I discovered anarcho-capitalism. Sometimes the subconscious is a bit ahead of its time....
LOL
Although I did know what Panarchy was, I just couldn't explain it.
Just a question: are you hyperactive and/or do you talk really fast IRL? Just curious.
I don't know what you mean by IRL, by I suppose you were talking ot me!
Hehehehehe... I guess I'm a little hyperactive
