On Climate Change, Social Stress, and Violent Conflict (1)

  • How does climate change influence

society?

  • Do actors or groups of actors react in

social stress or even violent conflict?

  • And how can it be predicted, prevented or

what intervention strategies can be used during occurrence?

On Climate Change, Social Stress, and Violent Conflict (2): On Agents

  • How does climate change

influence society?

  • Do actors or groups of

actors react in social stress or even violent conflict?

  • And how can it be

predicted, prevented or what intervention strategies can be used during occurrence?

  • How are agents affected

by climate change?

  • How do agents make

their action decisions when affected by climate change?

  • How can a problem-

solving process look like for successfully addressing problems of climate change?

How Do Agents Act?

Either

  • Automatic-Spontaneous
  • r
  • Rational-Calculative
  • r
  • Path-Dependent ?

Paul A. David: On Path Dependent Acting Agents

“[..] while they are, as we now say, perfectly "free to choose," their behavior, nevertheless, is held fast in the grip of events long forgotten and shaped by circumstances in which neither they nor their interests figured.” (David 1985: 333)

What happens during following a path?

Substantial rationality Some constancy Or routine

What happens during following a path?

Substantial rationality Just, follow the routine

What happens during following a path?

Substantial rationality Just, follow the routine New Situation! Use some

  • ld routine

Create a new routine Adapt a new routine Execute action drafts

  • f other decision

instances

Ideal Type Path Dependent

  • Level 3: shaping the

decision process

  • Level 2: containing

decision criteria (e.g. Values, norms)

  • Level 1: containing

action drafts as preversion for later action meta-patterns: Recognize

decision instances / drafts, execute drafts

patterns: external

instances are good; routines are good; institutions / standards are right

drafts action
