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
A few suggested questions:
- What advantages might civic intelligence offer within this perspective?
- Why is this perspective important?
- Is the perspective used implicitly (or sporadically or locally or partially)?
- Can a civic intelligence orientation help inform or otherwise the efficacy or other patterns of this 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.
(3) Conclusions
(4) Finally, a section that includes text book like end-of-chapter exercises, questions for the student, suggested activities, etc.

Case Study 2 Managing Global Environmental Change
From The book "Managing Global Environmental Change": 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?
