Advances in public management sciences have long indicated the
empirical finding that the normal state of public management
systems is complex and that its dynamics are non-linear. Complex
systems are subject to system pressures, system shocks, chance
events, path-dependency and self-organisation. Arguing that
complexity is an ever-present characteristic of our developed
societies and governance systems that should be accepted,
understood and adopted into management strategies, the original
essays collected in this book aim to increase our understanding of
complex governance processes and to propose new strategies for how
public managers can deal with complexity in order to achieve
high-quality research.
The authors collected here use theoretical frameworks grounded
in empirical research to analyze and explain how non-linear
dynamics, self-organisation of many agents and the co-evolution of
processes combine to generate the evolution of governance
processes, especially for public urban and metropolitan
investments. Managing Complex Governance Systems: Dynamics,
Self-Organization and Coevolution in Public Investments offers
readers an increased understanding of the main objective of public
management in complexity--namely complex process system--and a
strategy for accepting and dealing with complexity based on the
idea of dual thinking and dual action strategies satisfying the
desires of controlling processes and the need to adjust to changes
simultaneously.
