Online communities as model systems for collective self-determination

The best citizens of a large-scale democracy are those who have participated in several small ones. By empowering people to build any kind of community together, the Internet has become a laboratory for self-governance experimentation. Groups who start online communities must overcome the challenges of recruiting finite resources around common goals. Looking at three large platforms for small self-governing online communities, we will pose several questions about small-scale democracy, self-governance, and community-driven natural resource management.
