	The '''Critical Systems ~~Theory~~''' [[Special Integration Group]] is ~~not active anymore~~.		The '''Critical Systems Thinking''' [[Special Integration Group]] is a continuation of the previous Critical Systems Theory SIG and might be chaired by [[Roelien Goede]] in late 2026.

	==Focus of the Critical Systems ~~Theory~~ SIG==		==Focus of the Critical Systems Thinking SIG==
	The special integration group in Critical Systems Thinking and Practice is a multidisciplinary and challenging area that represents an alternative approach to understanding human, social, and political issues, from multiple perspectives. The scope of the SIG goes beyond the boundaries of traditional management sciences. On the one hand, it involves a reflection on issues emerging from current systems thinking and practice from contemporary philosophy (e.g., post-structuralism, critical theory, postmodernism), and other social disciplines. On the other, it also includes research that although systemic in orientation is mainly grounded in those disciplines. Our aim is to take advantage of the multidisciplinary background and theoretical approaches of the participants, to generate a meaningful dialogue to inspire future research.

==Focus of the Crises and Disasters SIG==
The special integration group in Critical Systems Thinking and Practice is a multidisciplinary and challenging area that represents an alternative approach to understanding human, social, and political issues, from multiple perspectives. The scope of the SIG goes beyond the boundaries of traditional management sciences. On the one hand, it involves a reflection on issues emerging from current systems thinking and practice from contemporary philosophy (e.g., post-structuralism, critical theory, postmodernism), and other social disciplines. On the other, it also includes research that although systemic in orientation is mainly grounded in those disciplines. Our aim is to take advantage of the multidisciplinary background and theoretical approaches of the participants, to generate a meaningful dialogue to inspire future research.

The SIG also focuses on the coherence of AR and other SIGs in the ISSS. The last focus was on the [[Critical Social Theory]] perspective that some action researchers share with [[Critical Systems Thinking]].
