Sommario/riassunto

This open access book sets out simple solutions to managing complex catastrophes. It focusses on four kinds of crises – climate change, crime-war cascades, epidemics and financial crises. These catastrophes are conceived as complex and prone to cascade effects. This book is optimistic in explaining that there are identifiable simple institutions that international society can strengthen and some simple principles that can help humankind to control the expanding gamut of complex catastrophes that confront the planet including simple, stable institutions and regulatory bodies. It draws on a wide range of current and past crises and challenges, from the Cold War to COVID-19, and from Weapons of Mass Destruction to restorative diplomacy with States like China, to provide an urgent and timely path forward. Braithwaite argues that improved peacemaking, and step by step progress toward abolition of Weapons of Mass Destruction helps prevent environmental, pandemic, and financial catastrophes. His method across four kinds of crises is first to prioritize simple principles and simple institutions that prevent coupled catastrophes from cascading one to the other. The next step is to pursue requisite variety in responses by diagnosing dialectically when additional interventions will and will not add value for crisis control. Braithwaite argues that minimal sufficiency of deterrence, responsive regulation of risks, and restorative diplomacy offer superior theoretical foundations than realism in international relations theory and in organizational crime control. It speaks to those interested in criminology, public policy and international relations, political science, sociology, public health and economics. John Braithwaite is an Emeritus Distinguished Professor of the Australian National University, and an interdisciplinary scholar of peacebuilding, war crime, business crime, criminological theory, and regulation and governance. He founded and was the first Director of the School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet) at ANU Many of his previous works can be downloaded from johnbraithwaite.com.

Sommario/riassunto

In der Wissenschaft der Sozialen Arbeit gibt es verschiedene Ansätze der Erklärung, womit das sozialberufliche Handeln beschäftigt ist, wie es verfasst ist und worauf es sich auszurichten hat. Dazu gehört seit nun etwa 40 Jahren die ökosoziale Theorie. Sie stellt eine konzeptionelle Grundlegung Sozialer Arbeit dar, die vom Haushalt gemeinsamen Lebens und seinem Unterhalt ausgeht. Vor dem Hintergrund der andauernden Diskussion um die theoretische Grundlegung Sozialer Arbeit unterzieht der Autor den von ihm entwickelten ökosozialen Ansatz einer Revision.

Das Buch ist allen zu empfehlen, die an einem besonderen systemischen Ansatz, also einem in gewissem Sinne ganzheitlichen Verständnis Sozialer Arbeit interessiert sind. socialnet.de, 11.02.2018
