• Political Science

This Working Paper offers a revised version of a talk that was given to the staff and the Ph.D. students of the Lincoln School of Management on January 16, 1997. The author’s research programme, ‘Critical Systems Thinking for Citizens’, was explained and discussed with special regard to its goal of contributing to the revival of civil society. The author argued that critical systems thinking has a potential of giving citizens a new sense of competence, and that this new competence will also alter our notion of competent management.
