"As the Commonsverse becomes more robust worldwide, a more urgent question is arising:  Can commoners work constructively with the state, and if so, how?"

"State power tends to have its own narrow ideas about how to get things done – and what governance, law, bureaucratic power, and public participation should look like. Commons open up new possibilities for getting things done, however. They can generate types of value that elude markets and bureaucracy, and offer new ways of knowing and being."

"But there’s a catch. It can be tricky and difficult for the state and commons to work together. Each has such different premises about power and worldview. Can they develop some sort of rapprochement?"

"One of the more astute commentators on this topic is Torange Khonsari, a professor of architecture and design activism for more than 20 years at London Metropolitan University and other universities. An academic until recently, Khonsari is unusual in focusing on community-driven development projects, especially involving art, performance, and architecture."
