The summit’s successful failure through anarchical organisation rather than professional declaration
I would like to suggest that the summit was a successful failure in that it failed to produce a final declaration, but did so for the purpose to create maximal learning output. A learning (instead of educating, lamenting, or politicising) communication could first of all take place thanks to the social organisation in the form of garbage can structure. This is what Cohen and March describe as organisational anarchy, where solutions are generated for yet unknown problems, and therefore assembled like garbage in a can for their time being useless.
