Call for Submissions: Collected Works on Composable Governance
The MIT Computational Law Report is soliciting submissions to be included for an open-access publication titled Collected Works on Composable Governance. Submissions may include, but are not limited to, original research, practical guides, tutorials, and overviews of topics related to composable governance. To encourage a broad range of voices, topics are not limited in terms of length or format.
Background
As computational technologies develop and proliferate, a need likewise arises for an evolution in the way governance is administered. The rise of legal engineering, legal design, and the growth of DAOs and NFT credentials, serve as early evidence of this shift.
Coupled with the increasing limitations of idiosyncratic systems for organizing law and rules, there is a further need for universality, modularity, and interoperability with these new legal components for composable governance.
It is our belief that additional discussion about this topic, rooted in a collaborative and interdisciplinary analysis of law, technology, design, and engineering, will:
improve the understanding of the complexities of these new technologies,
simplify the adoption and use of composable governance systems, and
limit unintended consequences in this new space.
Relevant Topics
Submissions may include, but are not limited to:
theoretical papers and other media that address conceptual aspects of composable governance;
practical guides and materials that improve understanding, usability, and adoption within the composable governance space; and
technical descriptions and examples that specify functional modules or legal components that are able to be composed together as a governance system.
Submission Process
To submit to the Collected Works on Composable Governance, authors are required to complete this form.
