Jose Ramos: "describes the dynamic potentials of the globally distributed knowledge commons in conjunction with emerging capacity for localized production of value. The imperative to create economically and ecologically resilient communities is driving initiatives for ‘re-localization’. Yet, such efforts for re-localization need to be put in the co...
Jose Ramos: "I argue there are six trends that potentiate cosmo-localization: 1. emerging global knowledge commons 2. new technology 3. the maker movement 4. urbanization and rise of mega-city regions 5. distributed energy production and storage 6. resource scarcity, eco integrity and precarity And there are three identifiable obstacles as well: 1....
"John Boik: "No matter how promising the design of a new system might be, it would be unreasonable to expect that a nation would abruptly drop an existing system in favor of a new one. Nevertheless, a viable, even attractive strategy exists by which new systems could be successfully researched, developed, tested, and implemented. I call it engage global, test local, spread viral. Engage global means to engage the global academic community and technical sector, in partnership with other segmen...
Ron Eglash: ""cosmo-local" nicely gets at the paradox of space. Strictly localized and we become trapped; carelessly global and we are no different from what corporations already do.

China has already formed a much larger and better down-top ecosystem, manifesting the ultimate goal of the Maker Movement – democratizing innovation. We call it the New Shanzhai. The Chinese word for Shanzhai can be traced back to year 1999-2000, representing the act of copying and duplicating brand products. In recent years, Shanzhai has ...
