this may be of interest to some. -----Original Message----- From: Anthony Judge [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 28, 2003 12:31 PM To: Cordell, Arthur: ECOM Subject: Strategic Implications of the Unsaid
Global Strategic Implications of the Unsaid http://laetusinpraesens.org/docs00s/unsaid.php The increasingly globalized communication society is paradoxically characterized by an increasing number of topics on which little or nothing may be publicly said. Whilst many of these "zones of the unsaid" have existed in the past, their existence becomes all the more felt in an information-rich environment. They might be compared with the astronomical "black holes" which populate the galaxies. The concern here is at what point an increase in the number of "zones of the unsaid" may completely undermine conventional hopes for global policy-making, world governance, and the implementation of strategic initiatives in response to global crises. The text comprises three sections. The first offers some examples of the "unsaid". The second discusses possible opportunities for navigating a strategic-space with a relatively high density of the "unsaid" -- and the circumvention of its dysfunctional effects. The third provides clues to further reflection in the light of extensive web resources on the variety of forms of the "unsaid".
