Models given in class that we should copy in our writing
Rojava: Social Ecology, Democratic Confederalism, and Ethnoplurality
Introduction:
The cantons of Rojava (western Kurdistan, located in northern Syria) represent a model of decentralized, democratic self-governance that breaks away from the state system. The Kurds are the largest nation on earth without a state. Situated in one of the most violent regions within the current political order and at the militarized borders of competing states, Rojava introduces gender egalitarianism and ethnic pluralism within a carefully crafted model of self-governance called “democratic confederalism.”
Marinaleda: Utopian, Cooperative Socialism
Introduction:
Known as the “communist utopia,” the town of Marinaleda is situated in the state of Andalusia in Spain, one the poorest regions in the country with about 27% unemployment rate. A town of about 2,800 inhabitants, Marinaleda began to challenge its harsh reality in 1979 with the election of a new mayor and grassroots movement that managed, through a 12-year battled, to acquire the agricultural land, upon which the village created its agricultural cooperative. Public housing, near full-employment, and sufficient monthly income distinguish Marinaleda from its troubled surroundings. And yet, this experiment is not without controversy.

The Dana Village area, overlooking the scenic Wadi Dana, has been occupied since about 4,000 BC. Archaeological evidence indicates that Paleolithic, Egyptian, Nabatean, and Roman civilizations have been drawn to the area by the fertile soil, water springs, and strategic location. Today, Dana Village is inhabited mostly by clans of the “Al Ata’ata” tribe, which settled in the area during the Ottoman period, about four hundred years ago, and built the present village. Over the years, many of the families in Dana Village have moved to the nearby village of Qadissiya, in search of better jobs, schools, and housing. The crumbling Dana Village was nearly abandoned, but thanks to the fund-raising efforts of Friends of Dana, a dynamic women’s group in Amman, over 70 of the traditional stone houses have been restored, enabling some families to remain in the village (Wild Jordan, 2015).
The village is located in Dana Biosphere reserve, Jordan’s largest nature reserve, covering some 320 square kilometers of spectacular mountains and Wadis along the face of the Great Rift Valley. From scorching sand dunes in the west to cool mountaintops in the east, the Dana Biosphere Reserve is home to a great variety of wildlife. There are plants and animals’ characteristic of true desert, of Mediterranean forests and of the dry plains of Russia. In fact, Dana is really a melting pot of species from three continents: Europe, Africa and Asia. Such a combination of natural communities in a single area is unique in Jordan and many of Dana’s animals and plants are very rare. So far, a total of 700 plant species, 190 bird species, 37 mammal species and 36 reptile species have been recorded in the Reserve, of which 25 are known to be endangered, including the Sand Cat, the Syrian Wolf, the Lesser Kestrel and the Spiny Tailed Lizard. Without special care, some of these could disappear from Earth forever, which makes the Dana Biosphere Reserve a place of global importance (Wild Jordan, 2015).
