Clumsy solutions for a complex world : the case of climate change
Singapore Management University Institutional Knowledge (InK) (Singapore Management University) · 2013-01-01 · 25 citations
articleOpen access
Successful solutions to pressing social ills tend to consist of innovative combinations of a limited set of alternative ways of perceiving and resolving the issues. These contending policy perspectives justify, represent and stem from four different ways of organizing social relations: hierarchy, individualism, egalitarianism and fatalism. Each of these perspectives: (1) distils certain elements of experience and wisdom that are missed by the others; (2) provides a clear expression of the way in…

2019-11-06 · 2 citations
reference-entry1st authorCorresponding
Numbers are bandied about persuasively in the run-up to elections. Political parties read the tea leaves of past elections and current polls, and voters tune in for the news media’s horse race coverage of political campaigns. The numbers fixation goes into overdrive in view of election cascades, as exemplified by presidential primaries in the United States and <italic>Land</italic> (regional state) elections in Germany. An unexpectedly good or bad showing in one election creates positive or nega…
