Que sont les alternatives systémiques ?

Par Pablo Solón La prémisse qui sous-tend les alternatives systémiques est que les crises environnementales, économiques, sociales, géopolitiques, institutionnelles et civilisationnelles forment un tout. Elles sont interdépendantes et se nourrissent les unes les autres. Il est donc impossible de résoudre l’une de ces crises sans aborder les autres de manière complémentaire. Les stratégies unidimensionnelles sont incapables de résoudre les crises systémiques et peuvent même, à … Continue reading Que sont les alternatives systémiques ?

Therefore, it is impossible to resolve one of these crises without addressing the others in a complementary manner. One-dimensional strategies are incapable of solving systemic crises and, on the contrary, can … Continue reading What are systemic alternatives?
