Fowler School of Law Professor Tom W. Bell.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Bell has been working with the nonprofit organization behind the project, The Seasteading Institute, providing legal advice on creating the new system. Professor Bell recently drafted the original version of a memorandum of understanding between the Institute and the French Polynesian government, which will offer its waters as home to the first Floating Island Project by the Institute.<\/p>\n<p>According to the agreement, the Floating Island Project will advance French Polynesia\u2019s Blue Economy Initiative, offering an opportunity to adapt to rising sea levels and create a space for innovation.<\/p>\n<p>One of the ultimate goals for The Seasteading Institute is to allow communities to peacefully test new ideas for government. In the coming months, Professor Bell will work with the Institute to design the world\u2019s first two-part special jurisdiction \u2013 with one part on land and one on water \u2013 and draft the implementing legislation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Floating Island Project in French Polynesia has provided a rare opportunity to put the legal theory of special jurisdictions to work in the real world,&#8221; noted Professor Bell, who has been actively writing and speaking on the subject. His forthcoming book, <em>Your Next Government?\u00a0 From the Nation State to Stateless Nations<\/em> (Cambridge University Press 2017), provides details about the seasteaders&#8217; legal adventures. He presented \u201cSpecial Jurisdictions, French Polynesia, and the Future of Seasteading,\u201d at the American Society of International Law, International Legal Theory Interest Group Annual Symposium: The Future of the State, in Washington, D.C., on December 8, 2016, and was featured in the story, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seasteading.org\/2016\/09\/french-polynesia-open-seasteading-collaboration\/\">French Polynesia Open to Seasteading Collaboration<\/a>, published on The Seasteading Institute\u2019s blog on September 19, 2016. He also discussed seasteading in the podcast <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seasteading.org\/2016\/02\/podcast-seazones-compared-to-nation-states-tom-w-bell-explains\/\">SeaZones Compared to Nation States?<\/a> featured on The Seasteading Institute\u2019s website last February.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about the seasteading project in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/01\/27\/world\/australia\/climate-change-floating-islands.html\">The New York Times<\/a><\/em>, <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sciencetech\/article-4127954\/Plans-world-s-floating-city-unveiled.html\">Daily Mail<\/a><\/em>, and<em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/silicon-valley-seasteading-institute-2016-9\">Business Insider<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Above: Floating Island Project\u00a0design, courtesy of The Seasteading Institute<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new initiative to create sustainable floating cities, or \u201cseasteading\u201d communities, is one step closer to reality thanks in part [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":543,"featured_media":12184,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"custom_author_name":"","chapman_pin_hero_slider":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[29,71],"class_list":["post-12182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-faculty","tag-faculty","tag-international-law"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
