Inequality, Climate, and Dialectical Problem-Solving

We left Chap. 10 with upward delegation of governance, intended to address major strategic issues populated by organisations such as the WTO, WB, IMF, and UN; organisations beyond the control of individual countries (perhaps excepting the USA) and in the minds of many analysts failing to adequately address social problems being far removed from being influenced by local practice in public services. While this entire book has been about problem-solving in public services and often mentioned the dialectical approach, for example Chap. 2 , this current chapter steps outward from service systems and closely examines why and how dialectics is a suitable approach to analysing strategic policy issues.
