Chaos Theory in the Social Sciences

Chaos Theory in the Social Sciences: Foundations and Applications offers the most recent thinking in applying the chaos paradigm to the social sciences. The book explores the methodological techniques - and their difficulties - for determining whether chaotic processes may in fact exist in a particular instance and examines implications of chaos theory when applied specifically to political science, economics, and sociology.

The contributors to the book show that no single technique can be use to diagnose and describe all chaotic processes and identify the strengths and limitations of a variety of approaches.
