Full Description
In the past four decades, transdisciplinarity has gained conceptual and practical traction for its transformative value in accounting for the complex challenges besetting humankind, including social relations and natural ecosystems. The need to develop frameworks for joint problem-solving involving diverse stakeholders is unquestionable.
Besides generating inclusivity, which embraces academia, civil society, and policymakers in the public and private sectors, transdisciplinarity allows for the appreciation of phenomena from a multiplicity of angles and affords societies creative ways of seeking solutions to challenges that may appear intractable.
This book puts forward alternatives within this arena and attempts to directly respond to the multi-layered challenges of diffuse disciplines, interlinked socioeconomic problems, impacts of globalisation, technological advancements, environmental concerns, food security, and more.
