Abstract

Science-informed, reductionist policy has systematically failed to address wicked situations. Such situations are highly interconnected and unpredictable. As a consequence, the implementation of so-called desirable interventions can lead to the export of vulnerabilities within and across different societal domains, sectors, intersections and scales. Systemic practice is an emerging field, and highlights the need to enrich scientific inquiry and policy actions through action learning with an “extended peer community'' as a means to navigate wicked situations. In this paper, we report on the potential of game co-design as a systemic practice to improve the situation of Baltic Sea nutrient enrichment. Findings from water catchments in Finland, Sweden and Poland suggest that the co-design of serious games can both enhance the comprehension of wicked situations, and foster self-organized concerted action without imposing a convergence of perspectives amongst diverse stakeholders.

摘要

以科学为依据的还原主义政策系统地未能解决恶劣的情况。这种情况是高度相互关联和不可预测的。因此，实施所谓的理想干预措施可能导致不同社会领域、部门、交叉点和规模内部和之间的脆弱性输出。系统实践是一个新兴领域，并强调需要通过行动学习来丰富科学探究和政策行动，并以“扩展的同伴社区”作为应对恶劣情况的手段。在本文中，我们报告了游戏协同设计作为改善波罗的海营养丰富状况的系统实践的潜力。芬兰集水区的调查结果，
