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."
