Enabling Analysis Home

Summary: Welcome to the home page of the Enabling Analysis. This is a working version that assembles Professor Hayes's material on the Enabling Analysis.

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.

  1. 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.
  2. See my wiki page for an outline of the enabling analysis, then my presentation: Getting Sustainability.
  3. 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.
  4. Thousands of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) work toward a just and sustainable world. Examine the Goldman Prize winners as exemplars.
  5. 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.
  6. Professor Hayes lecture and discussion on ecological economics, expands on Hayes, Economic Strategies for Sustainability, in Schroyer and Golodik, pp. 189-212
  7. 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.
  8. Green business contains potential as a part of an Eco-Economy.
  9. 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.
  10. A preliminary version of Strategic Sustainability has been put forth. Note The Moves: Toward Strategic Sustainability.
  11. I tinker with enhancing the enabling analysis with the notion of the noosphere, a firmer philosophical grounding.
