Gaia Futures

Christopher Burr Jones' Ph.D. dissertation explores the futures of global politics based on the potential implications of the convergence of geophysiology, radical feminism, deep ecology, mythology, and indigenous cultures. The work traces the development of each of these sets of developments or driving forces and then presents seven scenarios for the future based on the relative strength of the success or failure of them collectively on human society and the politics of 2046 AD. The study concludes with a synthesis and analysis of the "thicknesses" in the convergence of these forces in constituting a post-industrial, post-modern worldview.
