• Evolving practices in environmental scenarios: a new scenario typology (2008, methodology): “It sees more problems inherent in tension ‘between the aim and the perspectives on the possibilities of influencing the future and the possibilities of predicting the future’ (Borjeson et al 2006)—that is, between desire to influence and the action necessary to achieve it.”
• Developing post-normal technologies for sustainability (2008, background): “Van Notten et al (2002), Börjeson et al. (2006), and Bishop et al. (2007) describe various typologies (predictive, explorative, and normative) of the overall futuring field and from these only the explorative supports the need for pluralist interpretations of future occurrences as a means of…”
