Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Great Reset may be explored from a complexity perspective by applying some of the concepts and methods of complex systems science to analyse the dynamics and interactions of the various actors and factors involved in the initiative and its opposition. For example, one could use complexity profiles to compare the levels of complexity of different aspects of the Great Reset, examine the efficiency–adaptability trade-off of the Great Reset and its alternatives, explore the complexity matching between the Great Reset and its stakeholders, conduct a multiscale analysis of the Great Reset and its impacts, and study the evolutionary processes of the Great Reset and its alternatives. Another way to investigate the Great Reset from a complexity perspective is to consider the different positions as expressions of different perspectives or narratives that coexist in a complex social system. For example, one could identify the main perspectives or narratives that support or oppose the Great Reset, analyse their sources, motivations, assumptions, evidence, arguments, and implications, compare and contrast their similarities and differences, evaluate their strengths and weaknesses, and explore their possibilities for dialogue, collaboration, or conflict. By investigating the Great Reset from a complexity perspective, one can gain a deeper understanding of the initiative and its challenges, as well as its potential opportunities and risks.
