Abstract
From the rise of Social Darwinism in the 19th century to the behavioral revolution in the 20th century, social scientists have looked to both theory and method from the natural sciences to understand the dynamics of change in social systems. Paul Higgins’ chapter ‘Climate Change: Complexity, Chaos and Order’ offers insights from chaos theory and the complexity sciences as means for better understanding change in social systems. These insights have been and, in fact, continue to be applied to our understanding of social systems change (see Jantsch, 1980; Anderson and Pines, 1988; Kiel and Elliott, 1996; Eve et al, 1997).KeywordsSocial SystemChange ProcessComplex Adaptive SystemChaos TheoryClimate Change ResearchThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
