This book is an introduction to complex systems thinking at the global governance level. It offers concepts, tools, and ways of thinking about how systems change that can be applied to the most wicked problems facing the world today. More than an abstract argument for complexity theory, the book offers a targeted critique of today's highest-profile proposals for improving the governance of our environment, security, finance, health, and digital space. It suggests that we should spend less effort and resources on upgrading existing institutions, and more on understanding how they (and we) relate to each other.

Megatrends wie die Globalisierung, die Digitalisierung und der demografische Wandel haben die Arbeitswelt in den letzten Jahrzehnten stark geprägt. Dies zeigt sich in sich ändernden Arbeitsformen und -bedingungen, aber auch in divergierenden Bedürfnissen und Erwartungen unterschiedlicher Generationen im Hinblick auf Arbeit und Arbeitskultur. Dieser Fachtagungsband belegt anhand einer aktuellen Studie einmal mehr, dass es die Arbeitsbedingungen sind, die dazu führen, dass Pflegende aus dem Beruf abwandern, was wiederum den Fachkräftemangel verschärft. Der wirksamste und nachhaltigste Lösungsansatz wäre daher eine substanzielle Verbesserung dieser. Welche Rolle New Work dabei spielen kann und wie konkrete Wege in eine zukunftsfähige Arbeitskultur aussehen können, wird in den einzelnen Beiträgen anschaulich und anhand einer Auswahl mutiger Pionierprojekte aus der Pflegepraxis dargestellt.

Sinceits founding by Jacques Waardenburg in 1971, Religion and Reason has been a leading forum for contributions on theories, theoretical issues and agendas related to the phenomenon and the study of religion. Topics include (among others) category formation, comparison, ethnophilosophy, hermeneutics, methodology, myth, phenomenology, philosophy of science, scientific atheism, structuralism, and theories of religion. From time to time the series publishes volumes that map the state of the art and the history of the discipline.
