借鉴澳大利亚社区土地保护的经验,本章探讨了现代工业化社会不可持续性的深层结构和制度原因。社会学习是作为一个潜在的范式与这些更广泛的体制困境。这种观点将社会学习的概念置于当前关于可持续发展、民主和自由市场意识形态之间紧张关系的辩论的核心。本章介绍了风险社会和自反性现代化的主题,作为一个角度,可以帮助解释为什么现代机构在结构上对可持续发展的理想有偏见。这提供了一个简短的政治经济背景,然后概述了对社会学习的观点,特别注意如何促进更支持可持续发展的机构的设计问题。
Drawing on the experience of community based land conservation in Australia, this chapter examines the deeper structural and institutional causes of the unsustainability of modern industrialised society. Social learning is presented as a potential paradigm for engaging with these broader institutional dilemmas. Such a perspective locates the concept of social learning at the heart of current debates about the tensions between sustainable development, democracy and free market ideology. The chapter introduces the themes of risk society and reflexive modernisation as a perspective that can help explain why modern institutions are structurally biased against the ideals of sustainable development. This provides a brief political economic context for then outlining a perspective on social learning that gives particular attention to questions of how to facilitate the design of institutions more supportive of sustainable development.
