Abstract

Sustainability and social responsibility increasingly require ecological and social concerns like identity and quality of life to enter earlier and more deeply into the decision making process, especially intersector decisions. To accomplish this, new interaction designs and “governance” reforms are needed. This article explores a case in Southern Bahia, Brazil, where a new type of cross-sector governance mechanism holds promise for more effectively addressing pressing social, economic, and environmental challenges of the 21st century.
