Description
Policy seeks desired outcomes given differing priorities and constraints. But which policy options will work? Working together for better outcomes, the elements of Global Systems Science are:
-
Policy at all levels: from individuals to the world
-
Complex Systems Science: a new, interdisciplinary approach to modelling social and physical systems
-
Policy informatics: data science and computational modelling for policy
-
Citizen engagement: societal behaviour emerges bottom-up in the context of top-down policy and individual citizens must be involved
We discuss and critically evaluate GSS.
