Governance, Science–Policy Interfaces, Societal Organisation and the Transition to an Ecosystemic Model of Culture

Pilon, André Francisco (2018): Governance, Science–Policy Interfaces, Societal Organisation and the Transition to an Ecosystemic Model of Culture.

Abstract

The ecosystemic approach favours the development of healthy societies, that invest in each other rather than in mega-projects with intensive use of resources, it extends to environmental problems, quality of life and the state of the world a larger conceptual framework that includes ontological and epistemological issues, in view of the isomorphy and transfers of concepts, laws and models in various fields; it relates to how taken for granted worldviews, values and perceptions affect the definition and treatment of the problems by public policies, research and teaching programmes in the contemporary world.
