Re: Request for a good PP definition article.

Joseph - 

We put together a Topic Hub TM
on P2 a while back.  
http://p2ric.org/TopicHubs/toc.cfm?hub=26&subsec=7&nav=7
or
http://www.p2rx.org/topichubs/toc.cfm?hub=26&subsec=7&nav=7

The overview page offers a definition
along with the links to the best resources that support an overview - that's
where I'd look for a short list
http://p2ric.org/TopicHubs/subsection.cfm?hub=26&subsec=1&nav=1

It also has many good references associated
with it - check them all here:
http://p2ric.org/TopicHubs/bibliography.cfm?hub=26&subsec=100&nav=100

Mind you, I think the definition of
P2, as Scott suggested, is a little context sensitive.  I just read
a reference of P2 in a textbook, "Economics and the Environment"
that looks at the role of P2 relative to the concept of economic efficiency.
 The classic  definitions of P2 (what it is) have little to do
with the economic reasons for, or consequences of, P2

EVERYONE:
I'm more than happy to look at needed
updates for this topic hub. If anyone has suggestions for its improvement,
please forward.

cheers

Subject	Request for a good PP definition article.

Hello all,
 
I have a request from a colleague asking the following:
 
I'm in the process of updating my syllabus (classes start
in 1 1/2 weeks!). I'm realizing that I need a better article for one of
my classes and thought I'd ask you for a recommendation. I'm looking for
an article that focuses strictly on P2--what it is and what it is not.
Most articles go into a plethora of P2 applications such as LCA, EMS, etc.
I'm looking for a simple nuts and bolts piece that doesn't stray much from
definition. Do you know of such an article?
 
Any good recommendations?
 
Thanks.
 
-Joe S.
