The book focusses on questions of individual and collective action,
the emergence and dynamics of social norms and the feedback between
individual behaviour and social phenomena. It discusses traditional
modelling approaches to social norms and shows the usefulness of
agent-based modelling for the study of these micro-macro
interactions. Existing agent-based models of social norms are
discussed and it is shown that so far too much priority has been
given to parsimonious models and questions of the emergence of
norms, with many aspects of social norms, such as norm-change, not
being modelled. Juvenile delinquency, group radicalisation and
moral decision making are used as case studies for agent-based
models of collective action extending existing models by providing
an embedding into social networks, social influence via
argumentation and a causal action theory of moral decision making.
The major contribution of the book is to highlight the multifaceted
nature of the dynamics of social norms, consisting not only of
emergence, and the importance of embedding of agent-based models
into existing theory.
