Defining alternatives in times of crisis
| Resumo: | In the 21st century, global and national political arenas, existing development models, institutions and governance arrangements have failed to produce solutions to the set of intertwined crises which increase the unsustainability of our presence on this planet. This chapter explores the main exponents of these crises (i.e. ecological, economic, financial, and political) framed by a philosophical discussion on the cultural and socio-political dynamics of the socio-ecological alternatives that embody a reaction to these crises. Alternatives are then examined conceptually by inquiring into their capacity to open the range of choices vis-à-vis an unsustainable hegemonic paradigm, their seeking for collective emancipation and empowerment, the reasons that underpin the survival of such alternatives, and the nature of the long-term societal effects that they might bring about. |
