Abstract:

This paper offers a description of the characteristics and relevance of universalism in Discourse Ethics (1) and set against the way universality is understood in the two principal Latin American ethical theories which have critically assumed the universalist understanding of Discourse Ethics: Ethics of Liberation (2) and Convergent Ethics (3). The aim is to illuminate coincidences and divergencies. The final section of the paper proposes an analysis of the relevance and actuality of the universalist proposal of Karl-Otto Apel's Discourse Ethics for the ethical-philosophical reflection in Latin America.

Abstract:

This article proposes an epistemological rupture with the dominant paradigm of ethics applied to artificial intelligence, arguing that non-biological ontological agents (AONBs) may operate under normatively valid but logically incongruent moral systems when compared to human ethical frameworks. In contrast to value alignment models—which presume normative convergence as a criterion for safety—we introduce the concept of Post-Convergent Ethics: a domain of computable normativity based on structural divergence and inter-agent incomparability. To formalize this hypothesis, we present the Ƹ* function, a logical operator capable of assessing an agent’s internal coherence, its semantic dissonance with external systems, and the activation of fuzzy vetoes in scenarios of ethical collapse. Two conceptual simulations—one involving nanorobotic self-replication, and the other an autonomous military AI—illustrate how ethically consistent agents can produce catastrophic outcomes due to intersystemic moral illegibility. The findings suggest that, within cognitively divergent architectures, morality should no longer be framed as rational convergence, but rather as computable dissensus. Post-Convergent Ethics thus offers a new algorithmic grammar for coexistence among intelligences that do not share semantics, empathy, or ontological worlds. Within this horizon, the ability to compute and activate ethical vetoes—without shared understanding—emerges as the first act of algorithmic civility of a truly other intelligence.

Abstract:

Both creativity and responsibility are important higher-order skills to develop to meet the challenges of the Anthropocene, and both are related to attentional states of consciousness and to ethics. Meditation is a set of practices that trains attentional and emotional regulation. A few studies have shown that different kinds of meditation can foster different kinds of creative thinking, and others have begun to investigate the effect of the combination of meditation and ethics on ethical characteristics (but not yet on creativity or precisely on responsibility, so far). Here, we present a nonrandomized trial with an active control group among second-year science university students (n = 84) to test the effect of the secular Meditation-Based Ethics of Responsibility (MBER) program on creative potential, self-reported awareness, and sense of one’s own responsibility. The results show a large effect of the program on sense of one’s own responsibility and convergent and divergent creative writing tasks, both in conceptual–semantic and engineering-like verbal ideation. They also suggest that convergent conceptual–semantic thinking might moderate the effect of the MBER program on the awareness and sense of one’s own responsibility. This work opens up new research and educational perspectives linked to necessary behavioral changes in the Anthropocene.

AbstractThis article investigates an apparent, convergent shift in common law jurisdictions away from the traditional principle of joint and several liability towards proportionate liability in cases involving multiple wrongdoers, and argues that this is best seen as an unprincipled drift. The shift is often presented by defendants and legislators as a logical extension of the ethics of comparative (contributory) negligence doctrine. Here we deny any ethical connection between the two doctrines. We also suggest that there is no good, generalisable ethical or pragmatic argument in favour of proportionate liability in its own right and caution jurisdictions currently considering reform of the joint and several liability rule against leaping to any such assumption.

Resumen:El presente artículo comienza a construirse en una primera instancia, de una ponencia para la presentación del libro “Éticas convergentes en la encrucijada de la posmodernidad”, cuyo editor es el académico e in- vestigador Ricardo Salas Astraín. Este texto es un homenaje a la persona y obra del filósofo argentino Ricardo Maliandi, que desde la ética de la convergencia o de la conflictividad, propone una reflexión de cómo es posible discernir los contextos culturales contemporáneos en la tensión que trae la modernidad y la posmodernidad. Desde la misma reflexión construida por distintos autores, nace irrenunciablemente proponer desde la fenomenología y la hermenéutica de Hans-Georg Gadamer una reflexión acerca de la pertinencia de la estética en la reflexión ética. Es la misma reflexión la que nos llevará a preguntarnos por el quehacer del educador en la formación de estudiantes. El conversar, como experiencia de diálogo y sobre todo, como una experiencia estética abre la posibilidad de descubrir la pertinencia de ambas en todo hecho educativo.Palabras Clave: Ética – convergencia – conflictividad – hermenéutica – estética.Abstract:The present article begins to build up in a first stage, from a presentation of the book “Convergent Ethics in the crossroads of post modernity”, whose editor is the professor and researcher Ricardo Salas Astraín. This text is conceived in honor of the person and work of Argentinean philosopher Ricardo Maliandi, who from the ethics of convergence or from conflict, proposes a reflection of how is possible to discern contemporary cultural contexts in the tension that modernity brings and postmodernity. From the same reflection built up by different authors, emerges irretrievably to propose, from Hans-Georg Gadamer’s phenomenology and herme- neutics, a reflection about the relevance of the aesthetics in the ethics reflection. Is this reflection, which would make us to ask ourselves about the role of the educator in the students’ education. Conversation, as dialogue experience and mostly as an aesthetic experience, opens the possibility of discovering the relevance of both in any educative situation.Keywords: Ethics – convergence – conflict – hermeneutics – aesthetics.

Abstract:

This article proposes a new and original measurement scale for consumers’ ethical sensitivity (CES). Usually measured using scenarios, ethical sensitivity appears as a fundamental variable in understanding consumers’ ethical behaviour. In this study, we propose an alternative definition and a new scale for ethical sensitivity. We use a series of qualitative and quantitative studies and analyse construct validity, that is, content, convergent and discriminant validities. The results indicate that ethical sensitivity is a better predictor of ethical consumption behaviour when measured by our new scale than by a scenario. Implications are outlined for academics and professionals looking to better understand the relationship between consumer ethics and consumption behaviour.

Abstract:

Abstract. This research aim was to examine the ethical viewpoints of health and fitness managers in Greece. To achieve this, an adapted version of the Ethics Position Questionnaire (EPQ) (Forsyth, 1980) was employed. Additionally, the study sought to determine whether managers of these fitness centers leaned more towards idealism or relativism in their ethical perspectives. A group of 249 health and fitness managers participated in this study and completed Forsyth's original EPQ questionnaire included a total of 20 variables, with 10 assessing Idealism, and 10 evaluating Relativism. The EPQ was translated into Greek and adapted to suit the specific context of the Greek health and fitness industry, following multiple pilot studies. Both confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses were conducted, resulting in a 12-item questionnaire with two distinct factors. The modified EPQ demonstrated strong internal consistency and showed convergent validity with related constructs. Furthermore, the categorization of normative procedures into types suggested that health and fitness managers in Greece held varying ethical positions. Some leaned towards a more absolute ethical approach, while others took into account situational factors in their ethical considerations. Investigating the ethical perspectives of health and fitness managers can provide valuable insights for developing ethical codes of conduct and tailored educational initiatives within this sector.

Abstract:

We revised the Ethics Position Questionnaire (EPQ), which measures variations in sensitivity to harm (idealism) and to moral standards (relativism). Study 1 identified the core components of the measured constructs theoretically and verified those features through confirmatory factor analysis (n = 2,778). Study 2 replicated these findings (n = 10,707), contrasted the theoretically defined two-factor model to alternative models, and tested for invariance of factor covariances and mean structures for men and women. Study 3 examined the relationship between the EPQ and related indicators of ethical thought (values and moral foundations) and the theory’s four-fold classification typology of exceptionists, subjectivists, absolutists, and situationists. The three studies substantially reduced the original EPQ’s length, clarified the conceptual interpretation of the idealism and relativism scales, affirmed the EPQ’s predictive and convergent validity, and supported the four-fold classification of individuals into ethics positions. Implications for previous findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Abstract:

The problem of the applicability of moral principles is one of the most significant issues of practical reflection. With Kant's practical philosophy, the ethical demands of universality and individuality came to seem incompatible. After reviewing the outlooks of Apel and Simmel, who both offer paradigmatic answers to the “rigorism” of the categorical imperative, this article presents the issue from the perspective of Maliandi's “Convergent Ethics”. It suggests that Maliandi's recognition of an “a priori of conflictivity” and of the bi-dimensional character of reason surmounts the shortages of both Apel's and Simmel's philosophies.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates how the different aspects and claims associated with moral relativism can be applied to the issue of corporate governance convergence. The question of how corporate governance models may be converging around the world is considered within the law, finance and management literature. To date, however, there has been no detailed consideration from a moral perspective of whether such convergence should occur. This study investigates this question, using South Africa as a case study, through an analysis of the claims of Descriptive, Metaethical and Normative moral relativism. South Africa is selected as a useful case study in the light of its colonial heritage, complex demographics and the ongoing project of post-apartheid ‘nation-building’. Different moral philosophies can be identified that underlie the predominant models of corporate governance around the world. The differences between these moralities can be expressed in terms of differences in the prescribed moral obligations and objectives of corporations. The claim of Descriptive moral relativism is that there are significant differences in moral judgement between groups or individuals. In the context of South African corporate governance, the principal area of interest concerns moral judgements that reflect corporate obligations and objectives that differ from those that underlie the shareholder model evident in Anglo-American jurisdictions. This was investigated in three ways: firstly, through a literature study that identified existing evidence of moral judgements relevant to corporate governance in South Africa; secondly, through a quantitative survey of a group of professional accounting students in South Africa; thirdly, through a series of semi-structured interviews with professional accounting students in South Africa. In all three cases there was some, albeit limited, evidence to support the claim of Descriptive moral relativism. The claim of Metaethical moral relativism is that there is no single ‘true’ or ‘correct’ morality, but that morality is relative to different groups or individuals. Applied to corporate governance, this claim was investigated firstly by examining the arguments that a particular corporate governance model is morally superior and thus universally applicable, as well as by considering the extent of moral agreement on the issue. Secondly, the positions of prominent supporters of moral relativism were considered in terms of how these could be applied to the issue of corporate governance convergence. It was concluded that universalist claims in support of particular models of corporate governance are largely insufficient, and that a limited relativist approach is more plausible. The claim of Normative moral relativism is that one should not interfere with the actions of another where these are based on different moral judgements. Although the claims of Descriptive and Metaethical moral relativism have implications for the normative claim, the normative claim does not necessarily follow. Adopting a value of tolerance or accommodation (from the work of David Wong) can, however, strengthen the normative argument. It was concluded then that based on the evidence of this study, and within its limitations, it is morally wrong to impose an Anglo-American model of corporate governance on South Africa.<br>Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2012.<br>Philosophy<br>unrestricted

Abstract:

Essay I explores brain machine interface (BMI) technologies. These make direct communication between the brain and a machine possible by means of electrical stimuli. This essay reviews the existing and emerging technologies in this field and offers a systematic inquiry into the relevant ethical problems that are likely to emerge in the following decades. Essay II, co-written with professor Sven-Ove Hansson, presents a novel procedure to engage the public in ethical deliberations on the potential impacts of brain machine interface technology. We call this procedure a Convergence seminar, a form of scenario-based group discussion that is founded on the idea of hypothetical retrospection. The theoretical background of this procedure and the results of the five seminars are presented here. Essay III discusses moral enhancement, an instance of human enhancement that alters a person’s dispositions, emotions or behavior in order to make that person more moral. Moral enhancement could be carried out in three different ways. The first strategy is behavioral enhancement. The second strategy, favored by prominent defenders of moral enhancement, is emotional enhancement. The third strategy is the enhancement of moral dispositions, such as empathy and inequity aversion. I argue that we ought to implement a combination of the second and third strategies.<br><p>QC 20121206</p>

Full text

Abstract:

Ever since the environment and nonhumanity became major ethical topics, human-centered worldviews have been blamed for all that is morally wrong about our dealings with nature. Those who consider themselves nonanthropocentrists typically assume that the West’s anthropocentric axiologies and ontologies underlie all of the environmental degradations associated with our species. On the other hand, a handful of environmental philosophers argue that anthropocentrism is perfectly acceptable as a foundation for environmental ethics. According to Bryan Norton’s convergence hypothesis, "If reasonably interpreted and translated into appropriate policies, a nonanthropocentric ethic will advocate the same [environmental] policies as a suitably broad and long-sighted anthropocentrism" (Norton 2004:11). Norton notes that although adherents to either ism may disagree about the relative importance of the various reasons they have for advocating such policies, they nevertheless share an equal commitment to protecting the environment. Because any form of anthropocentrism must fundamentally favor humanity over nonhumanity, nonanthropocentrists are nevertheless concerned that such favoritism is "nothing more than the expression of an irrational bias" (Taylor 1981:215). They reason that only a nonanthropocentric ethic can guarantee that policies do not arbitrarily favor humans when their interests conflict with those of nonhumans. I argue that critics of convergence fail to appreciate that Norton’s hypothesis is limited to ideologies that he deems "reasonable" and "suitably broad and long-sighted," or else they misapprehend what these terms imply. When it comes to ethics, nonanthropocentrists and anthropocentrists alike vary along a continuum according to whether their overriding intuitions are more aligned with individualistic or collectivistic axiologies and their associated timescales. The most unreasonable, narrow, and short-sighted ideologies are those that are the most individualistic. It is at the collective end of the continuum that Norton’s proposed convergence takes place. I defend a version of anthropocentrism that I term ecological anthropocentrism.

Abstract:

Cette thèse examine le rapport complexe entre Habermas et Derrida en s'interrogeant sur l'évolution, durant les années 1980, d'une relation conflictuelle en un lien amical et collaboratif. Elle analyse leurs œuvres afin d'évaluer la convergence et la divergence entre leurs pensées. Nous avons essayé en premier lieu de dessiner les contours de la scène culturelle en Allemagne et en France à partir de l'année 1945. Cette approche nous a permis de mieux comprendre la philosophie de chacun d'eux et d'étudier la continuité et la discontinuité, la tension et l'échange philosophique, entre les philosophies allemandes et françaises. Même si notre thèse se divise en huit parties, elle s'étend sur deux champs d'investigation: l'un théorique et l'autre pratique. Concernant le champ théorique, cette thèse se penche sur la querelle franco-allemande relative au débat modernité/post-modernité, dans laquelle ils s'engagèrent et développèrent des critiques sévères l'un à l'égard à l'autre. La question de la modernité nous invite à mettre en question certaines idées générales, notamment celle selon laquelle Habermas serait un défenseur du projet de la modernité, tandis que Derrida serait un post-moderne hostile à la modernité et aux Lumières. Au sujet de leurs philosophies pratiques nous avons effectué une approche comparative de leurs idées sur la morale, l'éthique, la théorie du droit et la philosophie politique. Cette comparaison nous a permis de comprendre les raisons pour lesquelles ils se sont réconciliés et se sont intervenus ensemble pour atteindre certains objectifs politiques, mais aussi juridiques: la réforme du droit international<br>This work examines the complex relationship between Habermas and Derrida by shedding light on the shift from a less pleasant interaction in the 1980s to a rather friendly and collaborative affiliation later in an attempt to highlight comparable areas of interest as well as evaluate areas of convergence and divergence among the two great minds. Intuitively, a philosophical eye looks deep to examine to womb where thoughts are born. We lay out the scene in post WWII Germany and France, both fertile lands for such phenomena. This allows us to garner a sharper image of how the two philosophers evolved within their backgrounds and influenced one another. Two focal points, theory and practice, are covered in eight sections. We will address the Franco German quarrel of Modernity vs. Post Modernity revealing the critique so-called Modernist Habermas and supposed Post Modernist Derrida bathed one another with, and, there, we tackle the question of ideology. The later point, practice, reveals a deep assessment of the two philosophers' stances on morality, ethics, philosophy of law, and politics. We conclude with an analysis of the two's collaboration, as they share comparable fundamentals, and inspect the fruit of that effort, which achieved not only political reform but legal in the shape of a Reform of International Law

Abstract:

AbstractA discussion of the ethics of artificial intelligence hinges on the definition of the term. In this chapter I propose three interrelated but distinct concepts of AI, which raise different types of ethical issues. The first concept of AI is that of machine learning, which is often seen as an example of “narrow” AI. The second concept is that of artificial general intelligence standing for the attempt to replicate human capabilities. Finally, I suggest that the term AI is often used to denote converging socio-technical systems. Each of these three concepts of AI has different properties and characteristics that give rise to different types of ethical concerns.

В статье на основе большого по объему архивного материала автор показывает, как происходило взаимодействие культур великорусского и белорусского этноса в Смоленской губернии во второй половине XIX в. Основами на которой оно развивалось были господство православной веры на данной территории и общность языковых корней. По сути, здесь происходил процесс сближения великорусского и белорусского элементов в рамках формирования русского этноса. In the article, based on a large amount of archival material, the author shows how the cultures of the Great Russian and Belarusian ethnic groups interacted in the Smolensk province in the second half of the 19th century. The foundations on which it developed were the dominance of the Orthodox faith in a given territory and the commonality of linguistic roots. In fact, there was a process of convergence of the Great Russian and Belarusian elements within the framework of the formation of the Russian ethnos.

Abstract:

The interplay of four standard languages and a number of spoken languages makes Malaysia an interesting case of societal multilingualism. There is extensive convergence between the spoken varieties. ‘Malaysian English’ (ME) has developed its own structures which can be shown to copy structures of the mother tongues of the speakers at all levels of grammar, thereby being an example for localisation and the creation of a new dialect/sociolect. An analysis of the basilectal register of ME in ethnic Chinese speakers finds that converging patterns of ME and Malaysian (Chinese) languages, with situational lexical borrowing between the various languages. Sociolinguistically, ME plays the same role as any dialect, with covert prestige as an ingroup (identity) marker which is avoided in acrolectal (outgroup) communication. Spoken English in Malaysia can therefore be seen as a localised creoloid dialect of English, based on linguistic substrates. Sociolinguistically, ME is mainly an orate register for basilectal and mesolectal intra-group communication.

Abstract:

An analysis of the respective organizational histories, missions, and scholarly activity of the International Association for Cross-cultural Psychology (IACCP) and the Society for Community Research and Action (SCRA) indicates many points of shared values and actions, as well as some important differences. Both scholarly organizations developed out of a similar historical and cultural zeitgeist in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Our missions emphasize the role of culture/diversity in psychological phenomena, adopting an interdisciplinary orientation, the value of collaboration, the importance of research methods and ethics, and the value of action research. However, community psychology generally lacks an adequate treatment of cultural phenomena, while cross-cultural psychology often fails to draw on community and participatory methods useful for understanding culture in context. In this chapter, we examine these common roots and differences and then briefly present a study1 of intimate partner violence (IPV) in a community of Latinos in the United States that illustrates the benefits of an interdisciplinary, cultural community psychology. Finally, we propose several actions to develop further an interdisciplinary collaboration between the two fields.

Abstract:

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Different approaches are undertaken to mitigate the impact of the transport sector on climate change. Alongside electrifying powertrains, sustainable e-fuels such as polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers (OME) are considered a promising bridging technology for different applications. However, this requires that the engines are optimized for the new fuels. Accordingly, this study aims to optimize the numerical spray modeling of OME in CONVERGE. Based on the KH–RT break-up model, the spray simulations of three different commercial injectors for heavy-duty applications are analyzed regarding the predictability of the liquid and gaseous penetration lengths and the total simulation time. A sensitivity analysis is conducted for the turbulence model, mesh size, and spray parameters prior to optimizing the spray model and validating it with experimental results. While each parameter individually influences the different phases of the injection event, the sensitivity analysis reveals that the break-up time constant B<sub>1</sub> has overall the most significant impact on the penetration length. Additionally, the standard k-ε model demonstrated the best alignment for turbulence modeling. The computational time was reduced by optimizing the parcel count and grid size while achieving a further optimized grid size with finer maximum size and coarser minimum size for use in the full-engine combustion model. The optimization reduced the RMSE for the liquid penetration length (LPL) and gaseous penetration length (GPL) by 75% to 1.01 mm and 1.26 mm, respectively. The validation with experimental data shows that the resulting model can be used in qualitative design optimization regarding injection pressure, counter pressure, and nozzle hole diameter with an overall RMSE for the penetration length around 2 mm.</div></div>

Full text

Abstract:

No existing scale has been designed for, and validated in, the Australian context which can objectively evaluate the levels of general racist attitudes in Australian individuals or groups. Existing Australian measures of racist attitudes focus on single groups or have not been validated across the lifespan. Without suitable instruments, racism reduction programs implemented in Australia cannot be appropriately evaluated and so cannot be judged to be making a meaningful difference to the attitudes of the participants. To address the need for a general measure of racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious acceptance, an Australian scale was developed and validated for use with children, adolescents, and adults. The Racism, Acceptance, and Cultural-Ethnocentrism Scale (RACES) is a 34-item self-report instrument measuring explicit racist attitudes, consisting of three interdependent subscales (Accepting Attitudes – 12 items; Racist Attitudes – 8 items; Ethnocentric Attitudes – 4 items) and a 10-item measure of social desirability. The current chapter summarises the mixed methods approach to the development and evaluation of the novel scale, and reports on the reliability and validity data for children, adolescents, and adults from diverse racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds around Australia. The results of examinations of psychometric properties, including latent structure, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and predictive validity, are discussed. Utilised analytical techniques include qualitative thematic analysis of interviews and focus groups, unidimensional and multidimensional Rasch (Item Response Theory) analyses, and various Classical Test Theory analyses.

Abstract:

This report examines how Turkey has become a paradigmatic case of digital authoritarian convergence through the mechanisms of learning, emulation, and cooperative interdependence. Drawing on Chinese and Russian models—and facilitated by Western and Chinese tech companies—Turkey has adopted sophisticated digital control strategies across legal, surveillance, and information domains. The study identifies how strategic partnerships, infrastructure agreements (e.g., Huawei’s 5G and smart city projects), and shared authoritarian logics have enabled the Erdoğan regime to suppress dissent and reshape the digital public sphere. Through legal reforms, deep packet inspection (DPI) technologies, and coordinated digital propaganda, Turkey exemplifies how authoritarian digital governance diffuses globally. The findings highlight an urgent need for international accountability, cyber norms, and ethical tech governance to contain the expanding influence of digital repression.

Full text

Abstract:

The cost of the Covid-19 pandemic remains unknown. Lives directly lost to the disease continue to mount, while related health, livelihood and wellbeing impacts are still being felt, and the wider ramifications across society, politics and the economy are yet to fully materialise. What is known about these costs though, is that they have been unequally distributed both within and between countries. Preparedness plans proved inadequate in many settings – especially when it came to protecting those most vulnerable, including those marginalised by geography, poverty, or exclusion along the lines of religion, ethnicity or gender. The top-down, surge-style, biomedically dominated and technologically driven preparedness approach that has dominated global health thinking and which was propelled into action with Covid-19 was found wanting not only on the grounds of effectiveness, but also of social justice. This presents both a challenge and an opportunity for a convergence of the preparedness and development agendas. Drawing on a growing body of social science evidence, this report contends that securing health in the face of today’s uncertain disease threats in often unpredictable settings means making social, economic and political priorities as core to the preparedness agenda as biological and technological ones. We present here a framework for a vision of pandemic preparedness for the real world – one that accepts that context is paramount, embraces inclusivity and justice, shifts power centres and rejects simplistic, one-size-fits-all solutions.

Abstract:

Abstract The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology is transforming the creative economy by enabling secure, transparent, and decentralized innovation in digital content creation, intellectual property management, and monetization. Traditional creative industries are often constrained by centralized platforms, opaque copyright enforcement, and unfair revenue distribution, which limit the autonomy and financial benefits of creators. By leveraging blockchain’s immutable ledger, smart contracts, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), digital assets can be authenticated, tokenized, and securely traded, ensuring ownership verification and automated royalty distribution. Simultaneously, AI-driven tools such as generative adversarial networks (GANs), neural networks, and natural language processing (NLP) models facilitate content generation, curation, and adaptive recommendations, enhancing creative workflows and fostering new artistic possibilities. This research report explores the synergies between AI and blockchain in the decentralized creative economy, analyzing their impact on digital rights protection, NFT marketplaces, decentralized publishing, AI-assisted music composition, and smart licensing models. Furthermore, it examines regulatory challenges, ethical considerations, and scalability limitations that need to be addressed for mainstream adoption. By integrating AI-powered automation with blockchain’s decentralized infrastructure, this study outlines a sustainable roadmap for secure, fair, and transparent digital creativity in the Web3 era.

Leslie, Jean, and Kelly Simmons. Leadership Capabilities for Navigating a Polycrisis. Center for Creative Leadership, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.35613/ccl.2024.2058.

Full text

Abstract:

In an era of global challenges, leaders face a landscape characterized by what scholars term "polycrisis1" – a convergence of multiple, interconnected crises that amplify each other'simpacts. While the concept of polycrisis is gaining recognition, our study revealed a significant gap. No substantial body of literature currently addresses leadership in the midst of polycrisis. This absence underscores the novelty and importance of our study. To bridge this gap, we turned to the concepts of "grand challenges" and "wicked problems," which share many characteristics with polycrisis and have more established leadership literature. Our study aims to identify the critical leadership capabilities for effectively navigating polycrisis contexts. Through a synthesis of findings from relevant articles on leadership, grand challenges, and wicked problems, followed by expert validation, our analysis yielded six key themes of leadership capabilities: 1. Complex Problem-Solving 2. Collaboration and Relationships 3. Transformative Leadership 4. Inclusivity and Ethics 5. Inner Capabilities 6. Future Orientation These themes represent a shift from current leadership paradigms, emphasizing the need for leaders to develop skills and mindsets that effectively address the complex challenges within a polycrisis. This shift reframes crises from isolated events to be mitigated to a chronic state of instability requiring active engagement and adaptability. It moves beyond mere preservation to transformational leadership that seeks opportunities within the multifaceted aspects of crises to shape more equitable, resilient, and sustainable futures. Our findings recognize that a polycrisis is not a binary state (present or absent) but rather a spectrum of interconnected challenges that can vary in intensity and complexity over time. Leaders must be prepared to navigate and respond to these fluctuating conditions, addressing specific aspects of a polycrisis while maintaining awareness of the broader context. This nuanced approach significantly impacts leadership development in an increasingly complex world. By identifying these critical capabilities and applying them to the concept of polycrisis, this study provides a framework for reimagining leadership education and development. It fills a crucial gap in existing literature and practice by offering a more dynamic and adaptable model of leadership suited to the multifaceted nature of contemporary global challenges.
