Adaptive governance, institutional evolution, and decision-making
The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Peace and Conflict Studies • 2020
The insights from this paper suggest that social systems are empirically complex, and that our ability to fully understand complex systems is thus inherently limited. Peacebuilding itself also needs to be understood as complex processes that emerge from the interactions of multiple actors and factors, and that are therefore self-organized and emergent. This has implications for how assessments, planning, coordination, leadership, and evaluating specific peacebuilding interventions are undertaken.
