This book is based on a number of systems concepts, of which the
following are emphasized here: oThe interacting systems of society
and the environment are dynamic and evolution ary oEvolution of
these systems carries them through stages of differential stability
and instability, continuity and discontinuity oAssociated with
evolution and instability is structural change that is essentially
irre versible oThe present is a stage of world transformation that
may not have been equaled for decades or even centuries oPolicies
and decisions must match the times, in the present case the stage
of world transformation The time 11:59:59 PM, approximately, on
December 31, 2000 has an impor tant symbolic meaning. It marks the
end of a minute, the end of an hour, the end of a day, the end of a
year, the end of a decade, the end of a century, and the end of a
millennium. The time and date provide a convenient yardstick
against which we can evaluate the evolution of our thinking and the
adequacy of our assumptions, mental models, paradigms, and
policies. Will the beginning tum out to be appropriately dif ferent
from the end? We hope that this book is helpful in such evaluation.
This is a new-paradigm book, which both presents and advances the
new way of thinking about the systems of science, technology,
society, economics, politics, and the environment, and actively
calls for the replacement of the worn out cognitive/sociotechnical
paradigm."
