The term 'wicked' refers to such a problem's resistance to resolution, not to an evil nature. Classic examples of wicked problems include economic, environmental, and political issues.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e We now live in a world full of wicked problems, most of them urgent challenges calling out for creative, democratic, and effective solutions. Ed Weber, Denise Lach, and Brent Steele, of the Oregon State University School of Public Policy, solicited papers from a wide variety of accomplished scholars in the fields of science, politics, and policy with significant research experience to address this challenge. The resultant collection focuses on major contemporary environmental and natural resource policy issues, and proposes an assortment of alternative problem-solving methodologies to tackle such problems. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Strategies for Wicked Problems\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to scholars, students, and decision-makers wrestling with wicked problems and \"post-normal\" science settings beyond simply environmental and natural resource-based issues.
