Conflict and Complexity Countering Terrorism, Insurgency, Ethnic and Regional Violence /
Complexity science affords a number of novel tools for examining terrorism, particularly network analysis and NK-Boolean fitness landscapes as well as other tools drawn from non-linear dynamical systems modeling. This book follows the methodologies of complex adaptive systems research in their appli...
