Download scientific diagram | The nine identified planetary boundaries. The green zone is the safe-operating space (below the boundary), yellow represents the zone of uncertainty (increasing risk), and red is the high-risk zone. In these potentially dangerous zones of increasing risk, there are likely continental and global tipping points for some of the boundaries, although not for all them. The planetary boundary itself lies at the inner heavy circle. A proposed boundary does not represent a tipping point or a threshold but is placed upstream of it, that is, well before the risk of crossing a critical threshold. The intent of this buffer between the boundary and a potential threshold in the dangerous zone is to allow society time to react to early warning signs of approaching abrupt or risky change. Processes for which global-level boundaries are not quantified are represented by grey wedges (adapted from Steffen et al. 2015).

This book explores how imperialism has been evolving in the neoliberal era, with the aim of providing a systematic and integrative understanding of the inner dynamics and vulnerabilities of the contemporary imperialist system. Asking how it has been possible to sustain an imperialist system that fails to address the problems of unemployment, declining standards of living and globalizing conflicts, the author draws upon theoretical and empirical contributions from the current literature to furthe

This thesis presents a new model for developing and implementing strategy in open networks. Most of the strategy literature, indeed virtually all of it, addresses the challenge of one organization attempting to survive and thrive in the world. Over the last 30 years, since the 1990s, strategic management has had to make two big adjustments. First, the environments in which we operate have become far more turbulent. Second, our organizations have become more porous, more networked, and less hierarchical. The enormous impact of the Internet has accelerated both trends.
