with the two-pronged aim of improving interoperability between different epistemological communities and outlining a formal grammar that sets the basis for modeling international politics as a complex adaptive system .”

“ Keynes , Hayek , and the Roots of Complexity Theory in Economics ” by Hilton L . Root revisits the great debate between John Maynard Keynes and Friedrich Hayek in the context of how they viewed the economic system . Both Keynes and Hayek believed that “ the economy is a ‘ living ,’ changing system of interacting parts , but Keynes held that one could apply mechanics to direct and guide the system and Hayek believed in letting the same system self-organize .” This discussion is offered as a prism for analyzing the modern economic system .
Steve Wallis and Liz Johnson in “ Using Integrative Propositional Analysis ( IPA ) to Understand and Integrate Four Theories of Social Power Systems ” present a foundational piece on feedback mechanisms that allow for the development of complexity within a social network , in relation to social power systems . Through IPA , researchers can measure social power changes within a hierarchy . The article serves as a catalyst for further debate on the means to accumulate social power .
These papers offer an invaluable background for evaluating and addressing the ever-increasing economic , social , and political challenges of the world today .
