The journal Complexity has opened a call for papers for a special issue on applications of complexity science for public policy. Thanks Bernardo Furtado for the pointer and co-editing the special issue
This Special Issue aims at collecting both novel research and reviews on Public Policy Modeling and Applications, showing not only the cross-disciplinary nature of the field but also how rigorous scientific studies have already contributed towards understanding the complexity of social systems and to policy making.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Complex social systems and applications in public policy
- Complexity methods and analysis for policymakers
- The effects of governance in complex social systems
- Management of financial networks, real estate, and financing spillovers
- Smart cities, mobility, and flows in complex urban environments
- Dynamic risk management in complex scenarios
- Analyses that explicitly include political-spatial governance boundaries
- Design and analysis of complex sociotechnical systems for public services
