First published in 1999, this book examines recent developments in
the application of chaos and complexity theory to the applied
social sciences and the implications for the government planning of
social care services. The study argues that there are fundamental
limitations to traditional government political and managerial
planning structures. Chaos and complexity theory shows that the
effects of time and space are critical aspects for planners to
consider. Small changes in isolated social or individual factors
can have larger scale effects on the future validity of a policy
programme. In particular, rigid linear statistical calculations
like the Government Standard Spending Assessment can undermine the
ability of local authorities to make realistic plans. It is
proposed that government political strategies and managerial
methods of analysis need to better understand the complexity of
information available to them. New political and institutional
typologies are required if planning activity is to evolve to be of
optimal social value.
