¿Qué son las alternativas sistémicas?

Por Pablo Solón [English version] Las alternativas sistémicas parten de la premisa de que las crisis ambiental, económica, social, geopolítica, institucional, civilizatoria son parte de un todo, están interrelacionadas y se retroalimentan mutuamente. En consecuencia, es imposible resolver una de estas crisis sin abordar las otras en su conjunto.

One-dimensional strategies are incapable of solving systemic crises and, on the contrary, can … Continue reading What are systemic alternatives?
