“Like the biosphere, the
living economies we seek will self-organize within a framework of market rules.
Rooted locally everywhere and dependent primarily on their own resource base,
they will have built in incentives to optimize creative adaptation to local
microenvironments. With the decision-making powers of ownership distributed
among the community’s members in their multiple roles as producers, consumers,
and citizens there will be a natural incentive to internalize costs and manage
resources responsibly.” Korten D., The New Economy : Design for
Life. Can we design a self-correcting society?, YES! Magazine,
Refer the analysis made in part 1. The basic concepts
- introduction in section 3 the financial structures
of the fourth block the
structures to be created of
the course.
Carefully read the article by Fritjof Capra, Development and sustainability, Center for Ecoliteracy,
Capra ends his article this way:
“The alternative view of development proposed by the global civil
society sees development as a creative process, characteristic of all life, a
process of increasing capability, in which the most important thing one needs
is control over local resources. In this view, the development process is not
purely an economic process. It is also a social, ecological, and ethical
process—a multidimensional and systemic process. The primary actors in
development are the institutions of civil society—NGOs and other associations
based on kin, on neighborhood, or on common interests.
Because people are different and the places in which they live are different,
we can expect development to produce cultural diversity of all kinds. The
process whereby it will happen will be very different from the current global
trading system. It will be based on the mobilization of local resources to
satisfy local needs, and it will be informed by the values of human dignity and
ecological sustainability. Living sustainably means recognizing that we are an
inseparable part of the web of life, of human and nonhuman communities, and
that enhancing the dignity and sustainability of any one of them will enhance
all the others.”
2. Opinion.
On two pages
explain how the integrated development concepts presented in the course enable
the local populations in each project area to obtain control of local resources
and mobilise them to achieve local development as intended by Fritjof Capra.
Read the article by Robert Koehler : Ancient Oceans : The Planet’s
Plunder Will Continue in the Name of Progress published at the
website of www.CommonDreams.org,
“Help me return to deep community. Help me to
commune with Nature, not as a tourist but as a co-inhabitant…”
3. Opinion.
On one page,
describe how integrated development can contribute to meeting these wishes.
