Handbook on complexity and public policy

Though its roots in the natural sciences go back to the early 20th century, complexity theory as a scientific framework has developed most rapidly since the 1970s.

Increasingly, complexity theory has been integrated into the social sciences, and this handbook has brought together top thinkers in complexity and policy from around the world.

With contributions from Europe, North America, Brazil, and China, this book splits the topic into three cohesive parts: theory and tools, methods and modelling, and application.
