or Problem perception and levels of awareness. Global strategies and solutions That project aims at identifying the complete range of strategies perceived by constituencies acting at the international level. The conventional way of addressing any problem situation is to elaborate a strategy, but given the number, variety and interrelationships of the problems, it is uncertain whether any conventional strategy could be adequate. In general, many groups have "answers" to the current crisis. The proponents of each such answer naturally attach special importance to their own as being of crucial relevance at this time, or even as being the only appropriate basis for a viable world society in the future. That focus on "answer production", a vital moving force in society, obscures the manner in which such answers, in the absence of integration between them, undermine each other's significance. It appears to the editors that the elements of the strategic challenge at this time include: a vast and changing network of perceived problems, on which no single body has (or possibly could have) adequate control; a vast and changing network of conceptual tools and knowledge resources, which is not (and possibly could not be) controlled by any single body; a vast and changing network of agencies, organizations, groups and active individuals spanning every conceivable human interest and extending from the community level to the international level, and on which no single body has (or possibly could or should have) adequate control. The strategic problem therefore is how to ensure that the appropriate organizational resources emerge, and are supported with appropriate conceptual tools, in response to emerging problem complexes. But it would seem that this must be achieved without organizing such response – for to the extent that any part of the network is organized, other parts will develop (and probably should develop) which favor alternative approaches. The challenge is therefore to clarify the conditions of a network strategy, i.e. an approach which facilitates or catalyses (rather than organizes) the development of organizational networks in response to problem networks, in the light of values perceived in various parts of the social system. Many pages of notes and commentaries describe in details various approaches to global strategies, and their limits. Such are Strategic ecosystem: beyond "The Plan", Governance (a series of pages on reports from the Club of Rome, the Commission on Global Governance, and four others groups), Strategic denial: action inhibition, Post-crisis
