What is the “pluriverse” world view and how does it differ from the “one world”ontology of globalization? What are the tenets of these two paradigms and how would you characterize their competing visions of the future? Provide examples of each paradigm in practice.
What will be an ideal response?
Development futures will be governed by the tensions between two concepts: "one world" ontology symbolized by globalization, and "pluriverse" worldview symbolized by localization understood as a globally situated process (including connectivity via networks and webs. Though globalization has been all embracing, localization would become a predominant force in the future, as it implies that the forces of globalization would be applied and suited to local context. The Transition Towns and Commons could be examples of localization.
