New chapter published: Introducing Reflexibility as a Path towards Society 5.0.

We are proudly to announce that IC4EU Chair holder Dr Tea Golob has published a chapter (in co-autorship with Prof. M. Makarovič) entitled Introducing Reflexibility as a Path towards Society 5.0. The chapter is a part of the edited volume European Union as a Global Agenda Setter.

The text will feed into research and teaching activities of the Chair, as it introduces the concept of reflexibility, which merges the notion of reflexive thinking and responsible behaviour. It is based on Archer’s view on reflexivity, seeing it as the mediator between structure and agency and as the crucial component of social change. Reflexibility is  seen as the leverage towards more favorable social conditions. As an analytical proxy for sustainable settings on a macro and micro level we take the idea of Society 5.0 which superimposes the industry 5.0. We analyze the dynamics of the emergence of Society 5.0 in the evolutionary context by considering historical and synchronic factors.
