The paper discusses and illustrates Dror’s policy principles proposed for handing adversity: societal architecture, critical mass, selective radicalism, risk readiness, output-vale priority, and active up to compelling. These six principles are closely related and together constitute a proposed policy posture for handling adversity in an increasing number of countries. But, each one of the policy principles has a somewhat different contour, and their separate consideration adds elasticity in permitting custom fitting to concrete circumstances.
