To this end, the Alternatives to Empire Project proposes the establishment of focus groups in as many countries as possible. Out of these groups and discussions, we expect proposals and plans to emerge for the staging of national and international workshops, lecture tours, and conferences as well as the publication of books, journals and opinion pieces, and one or two strategically selected international projects.

One of the first tasks of the project will be the establishment of an interactive website that disseminates information, analysis and proposals about the Empire, what might usefully replace it, and how this goal might be approached in the practical contexts of everyday life. In due course, we see the project producing ideas for a range of initiatives in the fields of education, journalism and public advocacy.

The three organisations that have initiated this project (in Malaysia and Australia) will help to coordinate these activities. They will, as a first step, invite as many other organisations and individuals as possible to consider this statement, and associate themselves in various ways with its vision and strategic approach.
