1993 Pattern of Meeting Participant Roles Shadowy 'roundtable' hidden within every meeting - / - Click on areas of the diagram to obtain specific commentary from Towards a New Order of Meeting Participation on individual particiupant roles in the roundtable. Diagram reproduced from: Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential See commentary on specific roles and their relationship at: Contractual Bonds between Participants Central seats at the round table represent the most tangible problems engendered by participants in meetings according to the style, capacity or limitations of each (click each for a commentary) Outer ring indicates some key intergovernmental and nongovernmental bodies challenged by each perspective -- although some focus more on specific patterns of relationship. Parts of the international community now struggle to reconcile particular triangular relationships whilst ignoring others (eg UNCED 1992 Earth Summit focused on 2 - 6 - 10, and GATT Uruguay Round on 1 - 5 - 9). Sustainable development calls for an understanding of the dynamic interplay of checks and balances between all meeting participant roles.
