When I wrote the book Quantitative Sociodynamics, it was an early
attempt to make methods from statistical physics and complex
systems theory fruitful for the modeling and understanding of
social phenomena. Unfortunately, the ?rst edition appeared at a
quite prohibitive price. This was one reason to make these chapters
available again by a new edition. The other reason is that, in the
meantime, many of the methods discussed in this book are more and
more used in a variety of different ?elds. Among the ideas worked
out in this book are: 1 * a statistical theory of binary social
interactions, * a mathematical formulation of social ?eld theory,
which is the basis of social 2 force models, * a microscopic
foundation of evolutionary game theory, based on what is known
today as 'proportional imitation rule', a stochastic treatment of
interactions in evolutionary game theory, and a model for the
self-organization of behavioral 3 conventions in a coordination
game. It, therefore, appeared reasonable to make this book
available again, but at a more affordable price. To keep its
original character, the translation of this book, which 1 D.
