Jessy Kate Schingler

Researcher, writer, and practitioner working on governance innovation, intentional communities, and new jurisdictions. Author of the widely cited essay “Coordi-nations: A New Institutional Structure for Global Cooperation” (2022, Medium), which introduced the term “coordi-nations” as a name for voluntary, non-territorial polities organized around shared values and coordination capacity — an early formulation very close to what the Network Nations project calls Network Nations.

Schingler’s work explores how communities of practice can build legitimate governance structures outside the framework of existing nation-states, and how new legal and jurisdictional arrangements might be designed to support them. Her engagement with intentional communities — communities that have explicitly chosen to govern themselves according to shared principles — provides practical grounding for the Network Nations concept of self-governance and voluntary citizenship.
