2. The problems of our times—from fighting
global epidemics and terrorism to
preparing for natural disasters, from
mediating ethno-political conflict to
preventing wars, from revitalizing cities
to revolutionizing health care—cannot be
understood or solved by insulated
thinking and uncoordinated action .
Practitioners need the tools of
multiple disciplines to understand
these challenging issues and to
contribute to their resolution.
