THE EMERGING GLOBAL PLAYER SCENARIO (EGPS)
Is shaped as Conway's Game of Life
(Dennett, 2004)
u With few GP interconnected u By a relatively small amount of links (L) u Where each GP is free to empower and
evolve some links and weakening others u But is predetermined in the whole amount of
potential link (P) u Where L=(f)P
WCSA 8TH CONFERENCE, EP, ROME - PRESIDENTIAL SPEECH
CONWAY’S GAME OF LIFE
WCSA 8TH CONFERENCE, EP, ROME - PRESIDENTIAL SPEECH
THE EGPS AS A COMPLEX SYSTEM
The Emerging Global Player Scenario-EGPS
AS A UNITAS MULTIPLEX OF u Global cosmopolitanism
u Science intensive, knowledge-based policy
modeling, and procedural decision making
u Entrepreneurial self-constructing, wide horizon spirit
u Social autonomy structuration to a systemic global
level
WCSA 8TH CONFERENCE, EP, ROME - PRESIDENTIAL SPEECH
THE EGPS
The GLOBAL PLAYERS (1) are
u The NAFTA GP
u The BRICS GP
u The TURKISH AREA GP
u The EU GP
u The UNITED AFRICAN MARKET GP
u The CHINESE – JAPANESE AREA GP
WCSA 8TH CONFERENCE, EP, ROME - PRESIDENTIAL SPEECH
THE EGPS
GLOBAL PLAYERS (2)
u They are «LEGO» shaped
u In a very interconnected way
u BRICS and MERCOSUR are both GPs
u Brazil belongs to both of them
WCSA 8TH CONFERENCE, EP, ROME - PRESIDENTIAL SPEECH
THE EGPS
GLOBAL PLAYERS (3)
In brief… u Some areas remain outsiders
(Bahamas, Singapore, Switzerland, for example)
u But are not autarchically closed
u They remain independent as they bridge the GPs
u Thus, they are CONVERGENCE KNOTS
WCSA 8TH CONFERENCE, EP, ROME - PRESIDENTIAL SPEECH
THE PROCESS VISION ON GLOBAL CHANGE
u MACRO: The EGPS
u MESO: Each GP “scanned”
u MICRO: National states and their fragments
u PSYCHO-SOCIAL: Gemeinschaftliche
Lebenswelt (Elias, De Swaan, Goudsblom)

IN THESE EGPS
The WCSA as A THINK AND DO TANK (TDT)
FOR RESEARCH & POLICY
IN THE EGPS and on
WCSA 8TH CONFERENCE, EP, ROME - PRESIDENTIAL SPEECH
THE KEY FEATURES of the TDT (1)
1. Interdisciplinary among the social, political,
legal and economical sciences
2. Policy determines politics
(Lowi, Arenas of power, 2009)
3. Policy is design-based research, not
subjected to political selection
4. Mind Elias - De Swaan’s Process from macro
to psycho-social WCSA 8TH CONFERENCE, EP, ROME - PRESIDENTIAL SPEECH
THE KEY FEATURES of the TDT (2)
5. All four steps are required in a correct and
viable systemic complex process design,
but not all the four matter in the same way
7. Political decisions = (f) science based
research design is viable
9. Turned upside down is rhetoric
manipulation on masses (back to Canetti?)
WCSA 8TH CONFERENCE, EP, ROME - PRESIDENTIAL SPEECH
THE ROAD AHEAD AND THE CAPITALS OF THE EGPS
STANDARDIZING RESEARCH DESIGN
FOR POLICY MODELLING
“ research determines policy, policy
determines politics”

THE EVOLVING TDT
However you shape our planet
it is UNITY
In complexity
a “UNITAS MULTIPLEX”
but the multiplex exists
functionally to the unitas

THE UNITAS CAN HAVE DIFFERENT SHAPES EVEN
