Beschreibungen
<p>This book asks: What are the most suitable “mapping strategies” for detecting patterns of global dynamics?</p><p>It adopts a spatial perspective when trying to understand “Global Dynamics” – and sets out to revolutionise the concept of space as such. Spatial views – on levels of increasing abstraction, reflection and self-organisation – are developed along eight case studies including air emissions, environmental radioactivity, deforestation, energy from biomass, land use change, food supply, water quality and cooperative interdisciplinary learning for global change.</p><p>This book’s conceptual innovation consists in performing a transformation from “space & time” into “functional state space & evolutionary time” in order to better recognise the structural patterns of long-term global dynamics.</p><p> </p><p>A transdisciplinary readership in academia – including geography, philosophy, economics, global change and future research – that is interested in enlarging scientific concepts beyond classical borders – would be most welcome!</p><p></p>
<p>Chapter1. Objectives leading to a vision.- Chapter2. Mapping in eight case studies.- Chapter3. Lessons learned while mapping.- Chapter4. Conclusions for global dynamics.- Chapter5. Additional material from practice.</p>

<p>Mapping Global Dynamics</p><p>Follows a truly transdisciplinary approach.</p><p>Starts out with quantitative science and reaches metatheory.</p><p>Adds dynamic patterns to the concept of global change.</p><p>Combines approaches from technology, environment, globalisation and ontology - all from one author.</p><p>Draws philosophical conclusions from global modelling results.</p><p>Revolutionises the concept of space.</p>
