and identify possible solutions. This section, the core of the
curriculum, aims to develop skills in using this analysis to
select and implement solutions in order to bring about the
change.
The present session is designed to:
- planning, policy and decision . Introduce to Associates
concepts, theories, methods and tools of making, and
implementation, focusing on the analysis of existing and
potential social and institutions mechanisms and
constrains on planning to see how they can most
effectively be used to achieve goals at project, national,
regional and international levels.

planning tools can be redesigned to reflect the
understanding that the earth's resources cannot
indefinitely be exploited and wasted.
- Associates will understand the decision-making/planning
mechanisms of various sectors in the Chinese context
focusing on the factors such as institution, legislation
and so on.

thinking toward a new paradigm development as a framework
