Triangulation is perhaps the best example of these novel techniques, as it uses various methods, databases, theories, and approaches to converge on what to do about the complex issue in question. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eTaking Complexity Seriously\u003c\/em\u003e uses four different theoretical approaches (Girardian economics, cultural theory, critical theory, and the local justice framework) to triangulation in order to converge on answers to four major policy questions: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat is sustainable development? \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhy is it an issue? \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat needs to be done? \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat can actually be done?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e These four approaches are used to analyze the sustainable development controversy that recently arose in the pages of \u003cem\u003eScience\u003c\/em\u003e magazine and the journal \u003cem\u003eEcological Applications\u003c\/em\u003e. These different approaches prove highly potent in defamiliarizing conventional wisdom about sustainable development. Ultimately the different approaches will converge on novel answers to the four questions. The practical implications of these conclusions are drawn out at the end of \u003cem\u003eTaking Complexity\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eSeriously\u003c\/em\u003e in a detailed case study of ecosystem management.","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45280539377815,"sku":"9781461375111","price":7267.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781461375111.webp?v=1769296604","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/taking-complexity-seriously-policy-analysis-triangulation-and-sustainable-development-9781461375111","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
