Polity & Governance

Context:

Policy-making has to become more inclusive and less dominated by the powerful and the wealthy, while a paradigm shift is needed in problem-solving at global and national levels.

Need for a shift:

Health of Planet: In pursuit of GDP, the Club of Rome gave a wake-up call in 1972, by introducing the health of the planet into calculations of profit and growth.
Thatcher-Reagan-Chicago” model of neoliberalism: It marks a transition from welfarist to monetarist. In a way, it wants governments out of the way to let private entrepreneurs loose.
