Glossary

Autocracy: while more autocratic contexts can be largely contrasted with more democratic contexts (see below), autocracy can technically be defined as one context in which power of the executive and legislative is essentially combined and centralised. These autocratic contexts may also be defined as more authoritarian and totalitarian the former characterised by a centralised ruling power base, the latter by an emphasis on an ideologically focused personalistic regime.

Beliefs: concepts we generally hold to be true, often in the absence of a broad or in-depth foundation in evidence. Beliefs are transient in that they can be reversed when confronted by contrary evidence, but can be strengthened should the evidence not be challenging enough. Beliefs are often paired with values, but the difference is subtle: we derive our values from our beliefs. Most importantly, beliefs and values govern the way we think and behave.

Boundary concept: a term that enables communication across borders by creating a shared vocabulary. It could be a term such as sustainability, resilience or poverty which mean different things to different actors at different times.

Boundary object: a map, report, picture or other form of explicit knowledge. A boundary object is used as a tool to share understanding but do not lose its identity when discussed.

Boundary process: a formal process (such as strategy, budgeting or evaluation) within which knowledge is shared.

Boundary spanner: an organisation or an individual that operates across an interface, either by design or default. Also referred to in this book as knowledge intermediaries.
