NON-cE3c affiliatedhis book is a collection of transformational approaches for a future yet-to-come. Our focus is set on advanced, interdisciplinary tools which enable a platform of change in the context of the world at large. We understand that more and more, humanity needs to cope with a great variety of global challenges, for which reason we provide a platform for the discourse of active change in an interdisciplinary manner. We target bottom-up and top-down mechanisms, meaning that transformation processes can only be effectively enhanced through interaction dynamics between micro- and macrostructures. We target people, communities, scholars, governments and states as transformers, understanding the relevance of global effective actions for a planetary change. Our scientific reflections are based within the framework of sustainable development which provide analytical approaches towards these (unsolved) global challenges in the midst of a pandemic crisis – COVID-19.P.C.
