| Tiivistelmä: | This article deals with the extent to which we are addicted to particular ways of configuring the world and responding in a culturally appropriate way. It is suggested that the original Tame and Wicked problems typology by Rittell and Webber (1973) can be expanded to provide a heuristic for explaining this addiction. The focus is on the most common approach, that is, an addiction to Crisis and Command, and some likely explanations for this addiction are discussed with some illustrative examples. It is concluded that not merely does our strong fondness for Crisis and Command undermine our attempts to address Wicked problems adequately, but also that 'Leadership' is often seen as a difficult and dangerous and as 'the enemy of the people'. |
