The application of complex systems concepts in a military context

conference paper
Military peacekeeping and reconstruction missions become increasingly more complex. This complexity becomes apparent not only in the large number and variety in actors and domains but also in the intrinsic non-linear dynamics encountered in mission areas. To aid in a better understanding of this complexity we study the potential value of complex systems concepts in this context. This paper describes some of our preliminary insights and discusses some of the remaining challenges from an application point of view.
