We are grateful for the early intellectual contributions of Preety Bhandari and Ulka Kelkar from TERI in India, and to the sage advice and keen interest of Simon Carter and Marco Rondon of IDRC. [...] Th e guidance in this book emerges from the recent experiences of policy-makers and the insights of academics and practitioners for dealing with complex adaptive systems and pursuing adaptive policies and management. [...] Th e issue with the Schiphol Airport was one of capacity to accommodate growth in the future in light of growth in the number of passengers, noise issues, the amount of cargo transported and other issues. [...] Th is approach requires that learning and adaptation of the policy be made ‘explicit at the The Need for Adaptive Policies 9 outset’ and the inevitable ‘policy changes become part of a larger, recognized process and are not forced to be made repeatedly on an ad hoc basis’ (Walker and Marchau, 2003). [...] Each of these chapters are organized in a similar manner, providing (1) the rationale for why the adaptive policy tool is important; (2) a description of what the tool is; (3) a discussion of how the tool The Need for Adaptive Policies 11 could be used, (4) when in the policy-making cycle the tool can be used and, fi nally (5) relationships to the other adaptive policy tools discussed in the book.
