Having been invited by the Club of Rome to prepare a report on "Governance for the 21st Century," colleagues are invited to help by providing ideas, suggestions, papers, etc. Despite much progress in values and institutions, many core components of governance have not significantly improved during known history. These include, for instance, rulers, bureaucracies, the essence of decision process, main features of citizen behavior and more. Such relative stability of elements of governance in the face of global transformations produces growing incapacities to govern. The costs of such incapacities are increasing by order of magnitudes, because of the multiplying power of policy instruments supplied by science and technology.
