Responsibility for Eco-systems and problems of social traps and dilemmas
Main Article Content
Hans Lenk
Abstract
Responsibility is a function of power, impact and knowledge. The more strategically central one's position is in terms of power, influence and knowledge, the higher his or her responsibility would be. This is an idea which can be worked out in more detail by using distributive models of graph theory and pre-distribution assignments of rights and duties according to different levels.
