Follow a path to World Sustainability through the provisional table
of contents, below. Pick your own way through this framework. The table of
contents below sketches a broad outline of how to reach World
Sustainability.
Table of Contents: Hayes Internet Documents on the Enabling
Analysis
The list below assembles my web site and wiki documents on the
enabling analysis. There is some duplication among topics. This project is a
work in progress.
- We first transition from global
crisis and the disabling analysis to the enabling analysis and
provide an overview and a
framing of the
enabling analysis. The enabling analysis follows the recently revised
Statement of Concern and the accompanying
statement on foundational thinking that
concludes the global crisis and the disabling analysis.
- See my wiki page for an
outline
of the enabling analysis, then my presentation:
Getting
Sustainability.
- Threefolding
provides a framework within which to comprehensively organize a solution to
World Sustainability through the appropriate integration of civil society,
government, and commerce. Threefolding provides a framework to think about and
implement the
Triple
Bottom Line. This topic needs more attention, but helps frame the
discussion of civil society organizations.
- Thousands of
Civil
Society Organizations (CSOs) work toward a just and sustainable world.
Examine the Goldman
Prize winners as exemplars.
- We will also examine what Karl Polanyi calls the
Double Movement: Within society, broad,
spontaneous, mostly local efforts to rescue environment and society from the
disabling initiatives of globalization (the first movement) emerges from
grass-roots origins to enable a just and sustainable world -- or at
least raise the potential. The double movement is in flux but bears close
watching. See also my page on Polanyi as
Social Ecology and Toward
a Polanyi Reconstruction.
- Professor Hayes lecture and
discussion on ecological economics, expands on Hayes, Economic
Strategies for Sustainability, in Schroyer and Golodik, pp. 189-212
- Start a critique of growth with Bill McKibben, Deep Economy:
The Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future and
view
Prof. Hayes's review of McKibben. Then read my
Economic Aspects of
Sustainability.
- Green business contains potential as a part of an
Eco-Economy.
- Brown's Plan B 4.0 Part II describes policies for sustainability within the context
of the global agenda he sets in his Part I. From
the state, appropriate policies for sustainability may emerge, but largely
the result of the Double Movement. This is an essential but problematic
consideration.
- A preliminary version of Strategic Sustainability has been put
forth. Note The Moves: Toward Strategic
Sustainability.
- I tinker with enhancing the enabling analysis with the notion of the
noosphere, a firmer philosophical grounding.
