The Complexity of Cooperation by Robert Axelrod
Serves as an introductory text on complexity theory and computer modeling in the social sciences and as an overview of the state of the art in the field. The articles study a set of issues, including how to cope with errors in perception or implementation, how norms emerge, and how new political actors and regions of shared culture can develop.
"Robert Axelrod's extraordinary book, The Evolution of Cooperation was globally acclaimed for the rich results of its simple modelThe Complexity of Cooperation now gathers together the myriad fruits of more than a decade's work, carefully 'complexifying' his initial model. Like his ideas, his prose is clear and engaging. His delight as he unveils each surprising discovery is infectious. This book is not merely important; it's fun."—Robert D. Putnam, author of Making Democracy Work
