Some 'new' (?) ideas (relating to learning communities) that might be of
interest:
multi-agent systems (artificial societies)
use of complexity theory
critical pluralism/coherent pluralism
third-phase science
web-based MOOs (multi-user object-oriented systems)
interaction of actors theory
learning conversations
formative use of language
second-order cybernetics
knowledge-building environments
thinking space/learning space
thinking time
reflective practice for citizens
outsight (as opposed to insight)
cyber-systemic modelling
vocabulary of agency
etc.
As to their relationship with the public sector, I think it still needs to be
worked out.
