商品描述
Echoing the famous "The Limits to Growth" report from 1972, this edited volume analyses the changes that the World System has undergone to the present, on the fiftieth anniversary of the original report. During the past fifty years, both the concept and understanding of these limits have significantly changed. This book highlights that the evolution of the World System has approached a new critical milestone, moving into a fundamentally new phase of historical development, when the old economic and social technologies no longer work as efficiently as before or even begin to function counterproductively, which leads the World System into a systemic crisis.
The book discusses the transition of human society to a new phase state, the shape of which has not yet been determined. New approaches are needed for both, for the analysis of the global situation, and for forecasts. The book is based on an integrated approach including the world-systems, historical and evolutionaryperspectives, as well as a systematic view of society, in which changes in one subsystem cause transformations in others. Through mathematical modeling, it defines the main vectors of transformations of the World System; makes a detailed forecast of the development of all the main subsystems of the society and the World System, while presenting horizons of changes from short-term to ultra-long-term; and presents different development scenarios as well as recommendations on how to achieve a transition to the most favorable scenario.
The book will appeal to members and followers of the Club of Rome, policy-makers, as well as to scholars from various disciplines interested in a better understanding of the World System evolution, global futures, development studies, climate change, and future societies.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
回顧1972年著名的《成長的極限》報告,本書在原報告五十週年之際,分析了世界體系至今所經歷的變化。在過去五十年中,這些極限的概念和理解已經顯著改變。本書強調,世界體系的演變已接近一個新的關鍵里程碑,進入一個根本新的歷史發展階段,舊有的經濟和社會技術不再像以前那樣高效運作,甚至開始產生反效果,這導致世界體系進入系統性危機。
本書討論了人類社會向一個尚未確定的新階段的過渡。對於全球情勢的分析和預測,都需要新的方法。本書基於一種綜合方法,包括世界體系、歷史和演化的視角,以及對社會的系統性觀點,其中一個子系統的變化會引起其他子系統的轉變。通過數學建模,本書定義了世界體系轉型的主要向量;對社會和世界體系所有主要子系統的發展進行詳細預測,並呈現從短期到超長期的變化視野;同時提出不同的發展情境以及如何實現過渡到最有利情境的建議。
本書將吸引羅馬俱樂部的成員和追隨者、政策制定者,以及來自各個學科的學者,這些人對於更好地理解世界體系的演變、全球未來、發展研究、氣候變遷和未來社會感興趣。
