TD Paper presentation at 7th International Conference on New Business Models (BM 2022)
In this paper, we highlight the growing urgency of sustainability transitions in general and circularity transitions in particular, which is hardly taking shape in practice. We explore new pathways to accelerate such transition, focusing on a regional scale. We frame the lack of change as a multi-faceted, wicked, problem or organisation. Two specific aspects of increasing complexity are explored: extension of the value set taken into consideration by actors, and expansion of actor types involved.
Wind meets Gas 2024 - Workshop A: ‘How to involve society in accelerating sustainability transitions on your agenda’
The polycrisis and climate tipping points make transitions to a steady state planet urgent, but progress is way too slow. This workshop offers new insights in collective transition leadership and new action perspectives for leaders.
What are useful voting systems for task democratic platforms?
Would a Schulze voting procedure be an improvement to the current Borda procedure implemented in the online task democracy voting system?
Is task democracy the same as corporatism?
No. Corporatism replaces liberal democracy while task democracy proposes an addition.
Is task democracy the same as the Dutch water authority governance model?
Somewhat. Both have non-competing functional groups at their top level, but their are differences in power, scope and method.
How does task democracy relate to current transition theory?
Mainstream transition theory predicts productive conflict between a declining old pattern and an emerging new pattern. It does not challenge the liberal democratic paradigm, other than proposing improved citizen participation. Task democracy proposes a more radical upgrade of liberal democracy that may reduce transition conflict, by installing negotiation platforms for task groups.
