In this book, Hilton Root argues that international relations, like other complex ecosystems, exists in a constantly shifting landscape, in which hierarchical structures are giving way to systems of networked interdependence, changing every facet of global interaction. Accordingly, policymakers will need a new way to understand the process of change. Root suggests that the science of complex systems offers an analytical framework to explain the unforeseen development failures, governance trends, and alliance shifts in today's global political economy. Root examines both the networked systems that make up modern states and the larger, interdependent landscapes they share. Using systems analysis--in which institutional change and economic development are understood as self-organizing complexities--he offers an alternative view of institutional resilience and persistence. From this perspective, Root considers the divergence of East and West; the emergence of the European state, its contrast with the rise of China, and the network properties of their respective innovation systems; the trajectory of democracy in developing regions; and the systemic impact of China on the liberal world order. Complexity science, Root argues, will not explain historical change processes with algorithmic precision, but it may offer explanations that match the messy richness of those processes."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aInternational economic relations 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aState, The 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aEvolutionary economics 610 $aECONOMICS/Political Economy 610 $aSOCIAL SCIENCES/Political Science/General 615 0$aInternational economic relations. 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 0$aState, The. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aEvolutionary economics. 676 $a337 700 $aRoot$b Hilton L.$0251863 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820274303321 996 $aDynamics among nations$93977947 997 $aUNINA
