Beyond Neocorporatism? Transdisciplinary Case Studies as a Means for Collaborative Learning in Sustainable Development

摘要: Stakeholder involvement in political decision processes is sometimes claimed being a corporatist arrangement – generally with pejorative connotation. Answering this claim, I first review the discussion of neocorporatism. Secondly, present our own work, Transdisciplinary Case Study (TdCS). Through design, we initiate and foster collaborative learning sustainable development. discuss if TdCS design can be understood as neocorporatist arrangement. In literal classical understanding not case. broader process understanding, resembles like interest mediation. Yet, it goes well beyond: larger number stakeholder groups involved; role played by science emphasized; conceptualized more than negotiation. conclude showing some implications from macrosociological perspective for work. will pay special emphasis to crucial role(s) plays.
