Complexity, a challenge to governance—postscript from a friend

Charles François

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, 2008, vol. 25, issue 2, 355-357

Abstract: Complexity shows its unpredictable character through events that occur simultaneously within systems and within the environment of systems. As global determinisms are broken, and as time flows, complexity is repeatedly reconstructed, and broken again. This behaviour makes it necessary to revise our generally authoritative view of governance. It may be replaced by informed and pragmatic concepts within a field where perception, predictability, determinism and manageability play a major and fundamental role.
