In civics, some unsolved problems for governance may be considered in several fields, for example in:

• Politics
  1. war
  2. spin
  3. Ideologies
  4. Zealotry

• Social behavior
  1. crime
  2. torts
  3. marital dispute
  4. cults

• Organizational behavior
  1. hidden agenda - the tendency for protagonists to keep their objectives secret
  2. high pressure selling - the tendency to over-estimate benefits and under-estimate costs
  3. strike action - the aggregation of a resource beyond the confines of the organisation
  4. narcissist management - self-interested management who forgo their fiduciary responsibilities
  5. conflicts of interest - decision makers whose decisions would be different depending on which of their stakeholders they are attempting to serve
  6. collusion - the event were separation of powers are circumvented through collaboration
  7. information inequity - not all information is communicated to all stakeholders, and if it is communicated it is not necessarily commmunicated at the same time
  8. confirmation bias
