INTERCONNECTED WORLDS

The whole is greater and much more complex than the sum of its parts. That is why a systemic and holistic vision is strategic.

THE EMERGING GLOBAL PLAYER SCENARIO (EGPS)

Is shaped as Conway's Game of Life

(Dennett, 2004)

u  With few GP interconnected u  By a relatively small amount of links (L) u  Where each GP is free to empower and

evolve some links and weakening others u  But is predetermined in the whole amount of

potential link (P) u  Where L=(f)P


CONWAY’S GAME OF LIFE


THE EGPS AS A COMPLEX SYSTEM

The Emerging Global Player Scenario-EGPS

AS A UNITAS MULTIPLEX OF u  Global cosmopolitanism

u  Science intensive, knowledge-based policy

modeling, and procedural decision making

u  Entrepreneurial self-constructing, wide horizon spirit

u  Social autonomy structuration to a systemic global

level


THE EGPS

The GLOBAL PLAYERS (1) are

u The NAFTA GP

u The BRICS GP

u The TURKISH AREA GP

u The EU GP

u The UNITED AFRICAN MARKET GP

u The CHINESE – JAPANESE AREA GP


THE EGPS

GLOBAL PLAYERS (2)

u  They are «LEGO» shaped

u  In a very interconnected way

u  BRICS and MERCOSUR are both GPs

u  Brazil belongs to both of them


THE EGPS

GLOBAL PLAYERS (3)

In brief… u  Some areas remain outsiders

(Bahamas, Singapore, Switzerland, for example)

u  But are not autarchically closed

u  They remain independent as they bridge the GPs

u  Thus, they are CONVERGENCE KNOTS


THE PROCESS VISION ON GLOBAL CHANGE

u  MACRO: The EGPS

u  MESO: Each GP “scanned”

u  MICRO: National states and their fragments

u  PSYCHO-SOCIAL: Gemeinschaftliche

Lebenswelt (Elias, De Swaan, Goudsblom)


IN THESE EGPS

The WCSA as A THINK AND DO TANK (TDT)

FOR RESEARCH & POLICY

IN THE EGPS and on


THE KEY FEATURES of the TDT (1)

1.  Interdisciplinary among the social, political,

legal and economical sciences

2.  Policy determines politics

(Lowi, Arenas of power, 2009)

3.  Policy is design-based research, not

subjected to political selection

4.  Mind Elias - De Swaan’s Process from macro

to psycho-social WCSA 8TH CONFERENCE, EP, ROME - PRESIDENTIAL SPEECH

THE KEY FEATURES of the TDT (2)

5. All four steps are required in a correct and

viable systemic complex process design,

but not all the four matter in the same way

7. Political decisions = (f) science based

research design is viable

9. Turned upside down is rhetoric

manipulation on masses (back to Canetti?)


THE ROAD AHEAD AND THE CAPITALS OF THE EGPS

STANDARDIZING RESEARCH DESIGN

FOR POLICY MODELLING

“ research determines policy, policy

determines politics”


THE EVOLVING TDT

However you shape our planet

it is UNITY

In complexity

a “UNITAS MULTIPLEX”

but the multiplex exists

functionally to the unitas


THE UNITAS CAN HAVE DIFFERENT SHAPES EVEN
