Technology and governance: an introduction

Article Abstract:

An uncontrolled mismatch between governance and rapid technology growth may result in societal problems in both developing and advanced nations. Worldwide, the existing old governance processes used by countries may not be able to cope up with modern technologies. Slowing down the technological rate of change or the speeding up of governance processes are two possible solutions. Technology is said to drive any country's citizens to develop realizable objectives. However, the nation needs a strong and innovative leadership in order to achieve these objectives.

Technological slowdown or societal speedup - The price of system complexity?

Article Abstract:

Major discoveries in the science of complex systems have failed to reconcile systems theory and the real world. The incompatibility between the pace of technological development and the rate of population increase has resulted in disillusionment among many people. The complexity of present technologies has made it difficult among leaders to implement adequate policies, and if ever they did, these were accompanied with many problems and complications.

Complexity science: implications for forecasting

Article Abstract:

Because it involves human beings, the study of complex sociotechnical systems will always remain dynamic, nonlinear, emergent and adaptive. It is also becoming evident that such systems are facing limits regarding their continued computability, predictability, and mathematical describability. Complexity science is emerging as a tool that will be used for further study of these systems for the benefit of both the forecaster and the decisionmaker.
