Actor-systems dynamics is an innovative, multidisciplinary
methodology for investigating and analyzing social struggles over
economic resources and the related interplay between economic and
socio-political institutions and processes. The authors,
sociologists and economists, offer a systemic perspective on
contemporary socio-economic issues such as economic crisis,
unemployment, inflation, economic democracy and development; in
their analyses, they identify several of the key factors that drive
people to interact, to initiate change and transformation as well
as to resist such change. Major underlying themes in the book are:
Conflict over the distribution of economic resources and economic
policies and institutions; the structural bases of economic
inequality and conflict; the shaping and reshaping of
socio-economic institutions, and the contradictions, conflicts and
instabilities evoked by such developments; the failure of orthodox
economic theories, including Keynesianism, in the face of recurrent
economic crises and instabilities; the development and application
of an open, dynamic actor-oriented systems theory - grounded in the
social sciences - addressing complex socio-economic phenomena in
ways diverging substantially from conventional economics. All in
all, the papers collected here deal, on the one hand, with social
power, conflict, and struggle concerning economic resources and
institutions and, on the other hand, the structural and other
factors which drive powering initiatives, conflict, and social
innovation and transformation. The book is addressed to a broad
spectrum of social and managerial scientists concerned with
socio-economic issues, institutions, and development.
