Abstract

Große gesellschaftliche Herausforderungen sind systemischer Natur. Sie erfordern koordinierte Verhaltensänderungen sowie eine verlässliche normative Orientierung. Vorherrschende Nachhaltigkeitsansätze behandeln Zielvorgaben wie die Sustainable Development Goals der Vereinten Nationen als fixe Ziele, die es nur noch umzusetzen gilt. Im Gegensatz dazu entwickelt dieser Beitrag eine ordonomische Perspektive, die Nachhaltigkeit als einen offenen Prozess normativen Lernens auffasst. Der Methodologischen Instrumentalismus wird als Argumentationsgrammatik eingeführt. Sie basiert auf dem praktischen Syllogismus und leitet die Generierung normativ überzeugungskräftiger Argumente methodisch an. Dieses Verfahren unterstützt sowohl die Umsetzung bestehender Nachhaltigkeitsziele als auch ihre kritische Neubewertung. An einem konkreten Beispiel wird gezeigt, wie sich institutionelle Arrangements durch Stakeholder-Dialoge, experimentelles Vorgehen und kontinuierliche Feedbackprozesse weiterentwickeln lassen. Der ordonomische Ansatz bietet damit eine dynamische, institutionell fundierte Alternative zu statischen, technokratischen oder moralistischen Konzeptionen von NachhaltigkeitsGovernance.
