DEFINITION


‘Metapolity’ is an innovative human- / society-centric, cosmopolitan, post-national conceptual framework and – as a first approach of definition – can be described as a/the


  • Syndication of interdependent micro-political entities, founding and constituting a metapolitical organization, institutionalizing hierarchical metagovernance with equivalent sovereignty
  • meta-constitutional order of normativity for a metagovernance policy regime as a supreme system with the highest level of codified aegis and multidimensional determination
  • structure, form, type of political meta-power creation by self-referencing generation, self-ruling, and self-parameterization of determining principles, objectives, and social conditions
  • metapolicy regime, claiming to ultimate authority and comprehensive legitimacy with the corresponding accountability for metagoverning / metapolitical governing
  • ‘meta-polis’, based on …






FUNCTION


  • Fusion of the eligible, interdependent, and subsidiary governance policies of networked entities as individual, autonomous societal organizations, institutions, states, etc.
  • transpersonal concertation and transsystemic synthesis of constitutional rationales and mindsets for generating metapolitical concordance and identity creation
  • transcendent universalization and unification of guiding principles, constitutional norms, and social contract standards in accordance with the laws of thought / principles of cognition
  • heterarchical policy dialogue, mediation, and coordination of the strategic, determinative interagency consortia’s and networks-system’s relationships
  • transformative synthetization of the decisive micro-polities, political / social systems, regulatory frameworks, hybrid legal and juridical orders …






REFLECTION



Metapolity - an essential keystone for future governing -  . . .


  • provides and contributes a substantial framework to the world formula of future governing as self-governing and global governance as metagovernance [ … ] for manifesting a post-Westphalian co-cerative [political] order of humanity’s coexistential development and interconnectivity enhancement
  • frames and structures the cognitive metaphysics, the metamorphosing sublimity, the substantial power legitimization, and the concordance processing of the dynamic equilibrium between universal spirit / mind and real world self-governing, based on the transpersonal individuality of the human and societal self, its meta-codification and manifestation
  • claims the self-referential supremacy of normativity and normative primacy of metaconstitutionalism, creates ethical /social competence and procedural guidelines for micro-political self-governing and the codes of conduct for the coordination management of collaborative policy network relationships


  • introduces and obtains a cosmopolitan metaconstitutionalism for the transitional and transformative innovation of evolutionary self-/ governing as inclusive coordinating policy guidance and management of complexity, multiplicity, and diversity, dynamically facilitating and ensuring the interior / exterior connectivity with meta-political definition, identification, and manifestation processes
  • incorporates the regulatory triptych of polity generation: constitution-building, generating the substantial content of prescriptive constitutional norms, and institutional architecture structuring beyond the traditional matrix of ego-, states-centrism, nations, and state-based international system
  • restrains and replaces the outgrown states-/ government-centric, paternalistic authority / sovereignty as well as the egocentrically projecting personalism of masses by transforming the constitutional state as currently exclusive or predominant authority in decline and central paradigm / form of supranational systems and global order, facing anarchic disruption and erosion



  • systematizes the reason of institutional order as an expression of the social contract and societal will in accordance to / concordance with the common, synthesized, and universalized principles, guiding values and paradigms forming a kind of “eternity guarantee”: legitimacy, accountability, transparency, integrity, consensual authority acknowledgement of cognitional enhancement and transcending wisdom for humane self-governing and coordinating meta-governing
  • substantiates and justifies the de-personalization and self-referential legitimization for its own reason and authority of meta-normativity by generating the determination processing of meta-power and by operating as legislative meta-order and executive metagovernor, as entire meta-“codificator” of the substantial vision, the will, and the interests of actors also in accordance to the structural methods and form of metagovernance
  • syndicates the paradigms and principles of multiple micro-policy generation primarily as cognitive-creative and meta-connective coherence processing, as higher frequent, normative, hybrid facilitation by synoptically transcending values, norms, rules, ethics etc. including cultural particulars and also humans’ adequate social, societal, and emotional demands [non-ideological, non-religious]


  • enables polycentric governance codification and metapolitical agenda-setting in dynamic procedures of concertation, unification of diverse, multiple, interdependent, and mutual complimentary, a/symmetric networks of micropolities in a heterarchical and dialogic approach by ultimately prevailing transpersonal and transsystemic authority / sovereignty and by constraining / rejecting egocentricity and inadequate micropolitical supremacy
  • creates the multistakeholders' engagement / settings and manages the polycentric coordination and syndication of processes which are open to anyone and/or any interdependent entity coming in and fully participating the discourses, referring to an individual, group, or organization that has a direct or indirect interest of societal relevance: these may be businesses, civil society, governments, states, interstate / intergovernmental institutions, and non-governmental organizations
  • enhances real democracy by increasing proactive, co-creative, and effective participation of those autonomous individual and societal subjects being most impacted by decisions, being directly engaged in working with and among people, and/or being strategically involved in interdependent network relations with relevant interests and goals [any position of formalized power doesn’t matter]


  • closes the lack of adequate consideration and political institutionalization of human factors, values, and humanities, caused by a largely non-standardized globalization and the methods, procedures, and bureaucratizing techniques of global governance, which in fact neglected any maxim / paradigm of ruling the supremacy of human transpersonal individuality, humane identity, and social justice
  • creates the equivalent public sphere for exterior policy implementation of the interior determination / inner guidance of transpersonal individuals and adequate societal / transsocietal self-governing, particularly its ruling competence for constructive future planning and the identifying foundation of metagoverning multiple networks and multilateral relationships
  • provides the networked societies’ accountable, multilevel self-governing polity/policy generation achieving the multiplicity of collective and asymmetric dynamics and challenges of governability by mediating, building, steering, and heterarchically processing the intersection of three types of determinative relationships and discourse dynamics: authoritative, strategically competitive, or dialogic


  • associates and synthesizes individual and transpersonal, societal, and transsocietal autonomous value spheres of dignity, practices, experiences, know-how, needs, objectives, motivations, morals, rationals, mindsets, worldviews, structures, characteristics, and the dynamic actualization processes of changing paradigms, based on the human progressing self-/ consciousness especially about societal, political-organizational development, the elevating emotional and cognitive-spiritual intelligence, and human self-empowerment by further transcendence and connectivity enhancement
  • enhances the policy generating, ruling, and reigning competence and legitimization processes by reinventing forms of institutionalizing heterarchical power organization, based on the integral, inclusive, and convergent coordination and syndication of multiple realms, levels, lines, scales, and relationships of societal and transitional governmental stakeholders’ systemic networks
  • dissolves the “agency dilemma” of principal-agent problems by determining coordinational leadership skills: acting as a principal the metagovernor is highly qualified in providing a neutral, self-referential, self-reflecting, and transpersonal authority, cognitive independence, social sensitivity, interactive dynamic and sovereignty, proactively collaborating and balancing, priotizing, and inspirational visionary stimulation capacity by navigating and facilitating heterarchical collaboration, consensual and transformational decision-leading concertation for coherent and efficient syndication, manifestation, and implementation …

Definition  Function  Reflection







DEFINTION


  • The supreme organizational platform level of a hierarchical order targeting / implementing inclusive and participative governability of various, diverse, and interdependent discourses and interactions of private / public actors in intra-/ intersystemic, interorganizational, intergovernmental, intersocietal networks, arenas, alliances
  • the governance of governance, not a super-governance, the "governing of governing", the coordination mechanism, process, manner, method and/or system of metagoverning processes; the systemic approach for the development, implementation, and management of Metapolicy Regimes, guided by the constitutional determination of MetaPolity
  • a syndicating interorganizational networks-system between the state, market, civil society, and their interrelated institutions and organizations using hierarchical mechanisms or instruments with normative dimension correlating values, norms, and principles to underpin governance systems and governing approaches
  • an innovative system of democratic legitimacy structuring and governing: multilevel (national, international, supranational, transnational), multifaceted (territorial, functional, modern and post-modern), and with a multitude of actors (social, economic, political and cultural; institutional and extra-institutional) … 





FUNCTION


  • shaping / steering / monitoring the entire governing process, the input and the output of the governing system(s), and “super-vision” as a relative monopoly of organized intelligence ensuring coherence
  • providing a reflexive, multi-perspective and/or “bird’s-eye” view in policy making, institutional, and organizational design regarding the ethical principles / values / norms / codes of conduct
  • developing strategies, setting and monitoring targets, forming partnerships, structures of vertical and horizontal organizational / institutional governmentality
  • managing the complexity, plurality, and tangled hierarchies: power-sharing, negotiation, conflict conciliation and communication, on both the inter- and intra-institutional levels
  • coordinating the reciprocal interdependence among operationally autonomous actors, organizations, and functional systems hierarchical, market, and network governance: the systems’ relationship to institutional orders and functional systems including civil society
  • combining different ideas, methods, mechanisms, strategies, and styles of governance also referring to self-organizing, inter-organizational / institutional networks: the rules of self-regulation and the conditions of self-steering / -regulating policy networks
  • strategic-relational approaching the social structures, legal norms, hierarchies and legitimacy, standards, benchmarks, performance indicators, quality controls, in-/compatibilities and best practice
  • selective strategizing in collaborative policy innovation networks to establish concerted policy action by framing, designing, facilitating participation / inclusion
  • redesigning networks, facilitating constitutional change and the juridical re-regulation of structures, forms, and objectives by organizing the conditions for self-organization and “collibration” …





REFLECTION


  • (multilevel) metagovernance is part of a broader post-Westphalian ‘meta-constitutional conversation’ that is occurring between non-state and state actors to develop and institutionalize a new political order
  • an alternative form of hierarchical governing that is not based on direct and top-down control but a plurality of indirect ways of influencing and/or coordinating the actions of self-governing, self-organizing actors and self-adjusting practices
  • an increasing role of governments in all aspects of metagovernance, concurrently the state is no longer the sovereign authority becoming just one participant among others in the pluralistic guidance system and contributes its own distinctive resources to the negotiation process
  • a post-national form of statehood (f. e. EU: inherited intergovernmentalism): institutional mediation through the state apparatus with its structurally-inscribed strategic selectivity in relation to complex and interrelated problems and the division of hybrid government and governance powers
  • developing strategies, setting and monitoring targets, and forming partnerships: such ‘advanced liberal’ forms of governmentality can both mobilize and discipline the energies of civil society
