global perspective on socialeconomic transformation
by gabor karsai
two parallel worlds
polarisation (two sides of globalisation)
• climate change, economic crisis, increasing
gap between rich and poor, loss of meaning
vs
• social networking, travel, cultural experience,
meeting people, rise of the middle class
uncertainty about the future
megatrends
•

•
globalisation & deregulation
urbanisation & migration
climate change & sustainability
population & lifespan growth
localisation & re-regulation

smart infrastructure
slow education
shift from products to
experiences
• ultra-efficient solar
• value redefinition
• voluntary simplicity
european strategy and policy analysis
system (espas)
greater uncertainties but broader opportunities
in the next two decades
• an age of convergence vs conflicting
nationalisms
• an age of scarcity vs human development
• an age of multilateralism vs fragmentation
the empowerment of individuals
• a global human community but a growing
expectations gap
• converging values and demands but risks of
extremism
• demands for political participation but
dangers of populism
greater human development but
inequality, climate change and scarcity
• greater stress on sustainable development
against a backdrop of greater resource scarcity
and persistent poverty, compounded by the
consequences of climate change
• a rising middle class but persistent poverty
and inequality
• climate change and scarcities: challenges to
human development
• human security: protecting citizens
a polycentric world
but a growing governance gap
• emergence of a more polycentric world
characterised by a shift of power away from
states
• a power shift to asia but greater uncertainty
• diffusion of power but dangers of fragmentation
• global initiatives but a governance gap
• growing governance gaps as the mechanisms for
inter-state relations fail to respond adequately to
global public demands
transformation
•
-
scenarios (rudy lohmeyer):
global collapse
management takeover (china, corporations)
transformation (social, economic, cultural, mental
etc.) into global participatory governance
+ crunch-crunch
• change, transformation vs revolution
• r-evolution
why do not we act to avoid collapse?
daniel gilbert (psychologist at harvard): how we
respond to threats (terrorism vs climate
change; child molesters vs obesity)
- intentional
- immoral
- imminent
- instantaneous
conditions of transformation
• identity and energy
• gap between imaginary and real
• fears vs hopes (fear vs love)
conditions of transformation
identity and energy
• question of identity: who are we?
- humans are gods (gods are humans)
- humans are machines (machines are humans)
- humans are animals (animals are humans)
- humans are systems (systems are humans)
- humans are cooperators (ants, termites, bees)
- humans are e.t.’s (e.t.’s are humans)

etc.
human
• where lies the boundary of our
identity?
• shall I be more or less?
• more means tendency of
exclusivism
• less means giving space to the
other
conditions of transformation
tension between imaginary and real
• lack of alignment between
- thoughts and actions
- beliefs and behaviours
- theories and practices
• become practitioners
• how to get ignited?
new paradigm
metaphysically
• we are in this together: us vs me; collective vs
individual
• individualism vs communism vs ?
• „individual in community”
• interrelations not atomic substances
• each entity is unique but interrelated
new paradigm
historically & evolutionarily
• where lies the power of sovereignty?
- from tribe to clan
- from clan to people
- from people to nation
- from nation to international community
- from international community to one humanity
• us vs them
new paradigm
politically
• end of blocks
• daniel bell: liberal in politics (liberty), socialist in
economy (equality), conservative in culture
(fraternity)
• barrett values centre: „beliefs divide, values
unite”
• new institutions are needed
• new leadership paradigm
beliefs divide, values unite

economically
• sustainability
• good economy or new economy
• change the fundamentals: human behaviour
• takers vs leavers
• „economics of enough”
• „economics of abundance”
• „small is beautiful”
• beyond the three sectors: public (government),
private (business), social (ngo’s)

b corps (houlahan, gilbert)
bpeace (businesses for peace)
business as an agent of world benefit (bawb)
conscious capitalism (sisodia, mackey)
plan b (branson)
new paradigm
mentally & spiritually
• institutions are created by and composed of
people
• new institutions mean „new people”
• inside-out approach
• aligned values and behaviours, authenticity
• participation
• action- and solution-oriented approach
a new world is emerging

can humans be like bees, ants and termites?
„think globally, act locally” („glocal”)
marc gafni, author: think locally, act locally
do your part, the rest will be taken care of
but do your part
• „when i change, the whole world changes”
• expansion of love and compassion
