The book develops a practical approach to public policy issues that
have continued to be intractable because of a lack of emphasis on
transcultural understanding. Sustained examples help to increase
the readability and the accessibility of theory and methodology.
The key themes address the issue that:
-Management needs to be more systemic. Critical Systemic Praxis is
the process whereby we find ways to work across discipline areas
and sectoral areas, in order to address complex social, political,
economic and environmental problems.
-The way we define and address problems depends on an ability to
work with, rather than within knowledge areas.
-By introducing the notion of governance we can extend traditional
management from an organisational context to an
inter-organisational context and locate governance as the goal for
sustainable social and environmental justice.
The core aspects of praxis are:
-Respectful listening and dialogue to set up appropriate contexts
for participatory design.
-Participatory designs based on participatory action research to
map tacit and explicit knowledge of participants (professional and
ordinary citizens).
-Strategic decision making across discipline areas, cultural
contexts and knowledge areas.
-Action learning to transfer the policy and practice
learnings.
-Mainstreaming the approach to governance in the social, political,
economic and environmental sectors. The book develops a systemic
approach to public policy issues. Examples are used throughout to
exemplify theory. The integrated approach to policy and practice is
ideally suited to addressing the socio-economic and environmental
issues.
