Abstract: Abstract The book, Handling Societal Complexity: A Study of the Theory of the Methodology of Societal Complexity and the COMPRAM Methodology with Examples of Applications on Global Safety, by Dorien J. DeTombe is a handbook for studying and applying the Theory of the Methodology of Societal Complexity. The book describes the theoretical development of the field of the Methodology of Societal Complexity and provides the foundation for the application of the Compram methodology, a methodology for policymaking on handling complex societal problems. The book is based on the doctoral dissertation, Defining Complex Interdisciplinary Societal Problems. A Theoretical Study for Constructing a Cooperative Problem Analyzing Method: The Method COMPRAM, by Dorien J. DeTombe in 1994 (DeTombe 1994) and on subsequent publications on the subject of handling societal complexity by the same author published in the period of 1992–2014 in various scientific journals and books. The use of the Compram methodology is illustrated by theoretical examples of how the methodology can be applied to real life complex societal problems on the subject of “global safety.”
