This comprehensive Handbook is aimed at both academic researchers
and practitioners in the field of complexity science. The book?s 26
chapters, specially written by leading experts, provide in-depth
coverage of research methods based on the sciences of complexity.
The research methods presented are illustratively applied to
practical cases and are readily accessible to researchers and
decision-makers alike. The Handbook'?s wide range of research
methods are clearly illustrated with case studies that demonstrate
their practical application. They range from the regeneration of
communities to musical performance; from complex governance
networks to psychotherapy; from gender dynamics to agent-based
modelling; and the appropriate response to pandemics. Some unusual
research methods ? based on art, psychology and multi-level
networks ? are also included. Furthermore, the book incorporates
discussions on the philosophical aspect of research methods and
explores important theoretical concepts, such as exaptation,
emergence, self-organisation and co-evolution. This is an ideal
resource for academics and researchers in the field seeking and
exploring new research methods. For decision-makers and researchers
trying to address complex challenges it will be an essential source
of inspiration that will arm them with effective state-of-the-art
research methods for the future. Contributors include: P. Allen, P.
