Participatory approaches to developing sustainable futures: a global perspective - Daniell, Katherine Anne (Transformative participation for socio-ecological sustainability. Around the CoOPLAGE pathways)
This chapter provides a brief overview of the use of participatory processes for developing sustainable futures around the world, with a particular focus on the emergence of participatory methods in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It also reflects on the diversity of current participatory methods. The influences and perspectives of CoOPLAGE in the light of the global context are reflected on, including how its underlying methods stem from a cybernetic, complex systems and engaged political approach. The chapter concludes with potential evolutions and innovations of CoOPLAGE, such as opportunities for integration of emerging technologies and more creative envisioning methods.
