Transition Network: "a social experiment on a massive scale"

Earlier this year, Rob Hopkins and Peter Lipman of Transition Network published a structural document within which they state SEVEN KEY PRINCIPLES OF TRANSITION:
1) Positive Visioning (to generate new stories and myths)
2) Help People Access Good Information and Trust Them to Make Good Decisions (to enable truth and respect)
3) Inclusion and Openness (to reach the entire community)
4) Enable Sharing and Networking (to build a collective body of experience)
5) Build Resilience (to deal with the shock)
6) Inner and Outer Transition (to shift the dominant psychological framework and world view)
7) Subsidiarity: self-organization and decision making at the appropriate level (to layer local upon local empowerment)
