Section on Complexity and Network Studies
Complexity, Governance and Networks aims to contribute to the philosophical, theoretical, methodological and empirical developments in complexity, governance and network studies in public administration, public policy, politics and non-governmental organizations. The journal publishes primarily theoretical essays and original research papers. The editors welcome theoretical essays that advance thinking in definitional and conceptual issues in studying nonlinearity, emergence, self-organization and (co-)evolution in complex political, policy and governance systems and networks, as well as other related topics. We welcome empirical studies that employ quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods. Empirical manuscripts may include applications of agent-based (multi-agent) simulations, systems dynamics modeling, social network analyses, qualitative case studies (e.g., single and comparative case studies), content analyses and mixed methods (e.g., qualitative comparative analysis, process tracing). Essays on the methodological issues in any of these applications will be considered for publication in the journal, as will literature review papers. Those interested in submitting an article should contact the managing editor. To learn more about the journal, visit its website,
