- Description
- This paper presents a broad taxonomy of policy methodologies that have been proposed for sustainability. Methodological development is tracked historically from a) unidirectional causation models in an "environmental impact" framework to b) dynamical models within a "natural capital" framework to c) more recent "resilience and adaptability" frameworks that will require fuller, more explicit, representation of unpredictability. The relation between these policy frameworks is not one of mutual exclusion. Contrariwise, successive causal modeling and policy analysis methods are better understood as generalisations of previous ones. This clarifies the more specific contexts under which the simpler frameworks can be validly applied as special cases of the general.
