Aging agendas and ambiguous anomalies: tensions and contradictions of an emergent epoch

There is both alliteration and causation embedded in the title of this paper. It bends unduly in the direction of alliteration because, in many cases, the anomalies that pervade world affairs are ambiguous and the agendas that guide our inquiries are aging. It has a causal dimension in the sense that the anomalies are rendering our agendas obsolete.
