The template for the basic "perspective" chapter follows this paragraph. The original template (possibly revised) is in Introduction_to_Section_II. (After the chapter is further along — and the template structure is more-or-less finalized, we can remove this extra verbiage.)
The basic Plan has four parts:
(1) A Introduction to the perspective
(2) One or more case studies that show different facets of this perspective. Our decision was, as much as it's possible, not to artificially separate thinking and doing. At the same time we do want to present a variety of approaches, some of which will be better suited for think-work and some will be better suited for action (that plays out in the "real" (or material?) world.
Measuring civic intelligence
Aspects of Civic Intelligence
Towards Comparing and Measuring
Variation How does it differ from place to place — and why?
Magnitude How widespread in terms of people and resource moblization?
Resistance What impediments to progress were encountered?
Organization Versus disconnected and dispirited individuals or organized groups
Sophistication We're (simply) against it versus we've developed this (possibly complicated) plan
Effectiveness But hard to show that a war (for example) was prevented...
Responsiveness How fast and how appropriate were their responses?
Relative role of civic intelligence in process In relation to other possible explanations
(3) Conclusions
(4) Finally, a section that includes text book like end-of-chapter exercises, questions for the student, suggested activities, etc.
From Managing Global Environmental Change:
An Introduction to the Volume
Some of the questions I thought were thought provoking were;
- How well is society prepared to meet the challenges of global environmental management?
- What approaches have evolved in different countries and problem areas?
- What are their strengths and weaknesses?
- In what ways can their effectiveness be enhanced?
