The Postmodern Systems Approach - a discussion agenda

Based on Jackson (2000; Chapter 9),  I note the following items for review of the Postmodern Systems Approach:

1. Introduction
• An ironic and playful stance that fosters diversity
• Make use of the methods of deconstruction and genealogy
2. Specific Postmodern Systems Approaches
• Participatory appraisal of needs and the development  of action (PANDA) of Taket and White
• Deconstructive strategies (re: Table 9.4 of Jackson (2000, pg. 342).)
3. The constitutive rules underlying the Postmodern Systems Approach (re: Table 9.5 of Jackson (2000, pg. 348).)
4. Critique of the Postmodern Systems Approach
