Formal Theories of Politics
Author: P. E. Johnson
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483297748
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Formal Theories of Politics demonstrates the role of formal mathematical models in political science, and aims to convey a sense of the questions and methods which govern the political science research agenda. While there is still much interest in empirical patterns of voting behaviour and public opinion data, there has been substantial growth in emphasis on mathematical theory as a technique for the derivation of testable hypotheses. Topics discussed include: optimal candidate strategies and equilibria in competitive elections; voting agendas and parliamentary procedure in the multidimensional events; revolution, repression and inequality as outputs of dynamics systems. The mathematical techniques are widely varied, including game theory, functional analysis, differential equations, expert systems, stochastic processes and statistical models.

Dynamical Modeling of the Onset of War
Author: Alvin M Saperstein
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814494313
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
Physical science and technology (engineering) are fundamentally linked by the possibility of predictions: science tests itself and grows by making and checking predictions; technology relies on predictions and thus furthers the growth of the associated science. The political science of international relations is similarly associated with the “technology” of policy making by governments and elites: the growth of the science is dependent upon its applicability for useful policy making. This book explores the applicability of predictability — based upon dynamical modeling, and the related concepts of chaos and complexity — to the understanding of international relations, with the hope that this will lead to insights into policy making and hence the growth of the science of international relations. Contents:Predictive Structure Building — Static and DynamicPredictive Modeling of Arms Races: Static and DynamicDynamical ConceptsChaos and International Stability — Modeling War InitiationCombined Models: Capabilities and IntentionsPast and Future Research Readership: Political and physical scientists, and others interested in the application of modern physical dynamical ideas, such as chaos and complexity, to the evolution and stability of the international systems. Keywords:Crisis Instability;Chaos;Arms Race;Non-Linear Modeling;Richardson Modeling;Prediction;Policy Making;Static Models;Dynamic Models;War;International Security

Mathematical Modeling of Social Relationships
Author: Urszula Strawinska-Zanko
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319767658
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
This edited volume presents examples of social science research projects that employ new methods of quantitative analysis and mathematical modeling of social processes. This book presents the fascinating areas of empirical and theoretical investigations that use formal mathematics in a way that is accessible for individuals lacking extensive expertise but still desiring to expand their scope of research methodology and add to their data analysis toolbox. Mathematical Modeling of Social Relationships professes how mathematical modeling can help us understand the fundamental, compelling, and yet sometimes complicated concepts that arise in the social sciences. This volume will appeal to upper-level students and researchers in a broad area of fields within the social sciences, as well as the disciplines of social psychology, complex systems, and applied mathematics.

Formal Theories in International Relations
Author: Michael Nicholson
Publisher: CUP Archive
ISBN: 9780521399678
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
This book, first published in 1989, gives a critical account of formal international relations theory. That formal and mathematical methods can be applied to the study of international relations is often regarded with surprise, but the author demonstrates not only how these methods give insights into problems such as deterrence or arms races but also that the increase in the power of explanatory tools depends on the more rigourous development of theory along these lines. Mathematical methods have been applied to the study of international behaviour since the pioneering work of Lewis Fry Richardson in the 1920s and 1930s. However, it was in the post Second World War period that they became widespread. Dr Nicholson discusses the application of such methods as the theory of games to problems of relationships between states, catastrophe theory to the study of initiation of violence, and probability theory to the question of the probability of nuclear war.

Mathematical Modeling in Economics, Ecology and the Environment
Author: N.V. Hritonenko
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1441997334
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
The problems of interrelation between human economics and natural environment include scientific, technical, economic, demographic, social, political and other aspects that are studied by scientists of many specialities. One of the important aspects in scientific study of environmental and ecological problems is the development of mathematical and computer tools for rational management of economics and environment. This book introduces a wide range of mathematical models in economics, ecology and environmental sciences to a general mathematical audience with no in-depth experience in this specific area. Areas covered are: controlled economic growth and technological development, world dynamics, environmental impact, resource extraction, air and water pollution propagation, ecological population dynamics and exploitation. A variety of known models are considered, from classical ones (Cobb Douglass production function, Leontief input-output analysis, Solow models of economic dynamics, Verhulst-Pearl and Lotka-Volterra models of population dynamics, and others) to the models of world dynamics and the models of water contamination propagation used after Chemobyl nuclear catastrophe. Special attention is given to modelling of hierarchical regional economic-ecological interaction and technological change in the context of environmental impact.
