The "religion as global problem/global solution" meme, the "global management of environmental commons" meme and "death of classical economics" meme have been reiterated in numerous branches of this. I love knowing lots of passionate, smart people! Interesting themes coming out here. The “religion as global problem/global solution” meme, the “global management of environmental commons” meme and “death of classical economics” meme have been reiterated in numerous branches of this.

I love knowing lots of passionate, smart people!

The comprehensive de-bunking of classical economics in favour of a model that recognises both the chaotic nature of systems, and the value of environmental and social factors. ("The Death of Economics" by Paul Ormerod is a good start) 2. The widespread adoption of green roofs in Toronto's downtown core. (I need at least one of my "objectives" to be "measurable", OK? It's just the way I am...) 3. The revitalisation of the United Nations as a forum for global dispute resolution and environmental resource management. (At the very least by expanding/changing the membership of the Security Council. Also, the increasing importance of non-state actors in a globalised political economy must be addressed. As just one example, there has recently been talk of the need for a mechanism whereby the aspirations of faiths/religions, rather than nation states, might be reconciled. As the nation state is being dis-intermediated, are people increasingly finding their means of expression through religious rather than nationalist forms...? If so, must our existing, 20th C supra-national bodies transform accordingly?) Hello everyone,

I’m in the midst of finishing a paper, so these are cursory, but I think they get at my general view. Here are my thoughts: 1. A broadening of the international community’s ideas about national interest. Bringing into the tent things like the AIDS pandemic and humanitarian intervention. 2. Witnessing the marriage of economic tools and environmental research to better manage the world’s resources. 3. Discovering a method to better re-distribute the gains from trade to all peoples. Hi Mark,

Interesting post! I’m in the midst of finishing a paper, so these are cursory, but I think they get at my general view. Here are my thoughts:
