Special Issue of NDPLS: Emergence in Social Systems
Guastello, Stephen
We hope everyone’s new year is off to a good start. We are happy to announce, and should have mentioned earlier, that the January 2025 issue of Nonlinear Dynamics, Psychology, and Life Sciences is a special issue on Emergence in Social Systems in honor of Jeffrey A. Goldstein. The contributions cover landmarks in Dr. Goldstein’s career as a dynamicist, the theory of emergence that has consolidated, operationalization of the theory in agent-based models, analysis of real data for emergent events, analysis of wicked problems in human services and social ecology, and the emergence of an industrial energy sector in India. The issue is co-edited by James Hazy and Benyamin Lichtenstein.
