CAMELOT

Welcome to the CAMELOT Doorway of ePLANETe.  This is your gateway to analysis of and participation in the resolution of societal questions of justice and injustice, of equity, of social acceptability, of sustainability.  In a word, principles, precepts and processes of governance.  

It offers initiation to the realities of conflict and controversy, and to the hopes for principled governance in resolution -- often only partial and transitory -- of conflicts in society.  In particular, it proposes terrains and tools of "deliberation support" for exploring, at appropriate scales, the arguments "for" and "against" alternatives of action (policies and strategies) for sustainability in its environmental, social and financial dimensions.  Sustainability of what, why, and for whom?

In The Dagda's Gardens, ....

The gallery of Environmental Justice HotSpots introduces the world of conflicts associated with inequitable access to environmental resources & services and might, for example, be used to portray selected controversies about water resource use and conservation.  

The INTEGRAAL Space offers access to Worksites exploiting deliberative and integrative analysis techniques, through which tacit, informal and formal knowledge is melded into collective wisdom.

Moving through these Worksites, the KerBabel deliberation support tools mobilise objects from other ePLANETe galleries, as Indicators and Arguments, to express and inform judgements by ‘Actors’ who compare different case study situations or opportunities for action relative to multiple criteria.  Results of evaluation actions are displayed in Benchmarking and Integrative Assessment galleries. These evaluation exercises both frame and inform collective processes of deliberation about “What To Do” – viz., processes of governance.
