Taking Complexity Seriously applies the advanced policy analysis
technique of triangulation to what is now the world's most complex
public policy challenge: sustainable development. One central
problem of public policy analysis has been to find new ways of
analyzing issues of increasing complexity and uncertainty.
Triangulation is perhaps the best example of these novel
techniques, as it uses various methods, databases, theories, and
approaches to converge on what to do about the complex issue in
question. Taking Complexity Seriously uses four different
theoretical approaches (Girardian economics, cultural theory,
critical theory, and the local justice framework) to triangulation
in order to converge on answers to four major policy questions:
What is sustainable development? Why is it an issue? What needs to
be done? What can actually be done? These four approaches are used
to analyze the sustainable development controversy that recently
arose in the pages of Science magazine and the journal Ecological
Applications. These different approaches prove highly potent in
defamiliarizing conventional wisdom about sustainable development.
Ultimately the different approaches will converge on novel answers
to the four questions. The practical implications of these
conclusions are drawn out at the end of Taking Complexity Seriously
in a detailed case study of ecosystem management.
