Dynamics of political opinion formation including catastrophe theory
Intentions and Principles of Sociodynamics
Sociodynamics – An Integrated Approach to Modelling in the Social Sciences
Synergetic modelling concepts for sociodynamics with application to collective political opinion formation
The article has three purposes. Firstly it introduces into synergetics, an interdisciplinary field of research which is concerned with "cooperative" interactions of individual parts of a system producing macroscopic spatial, temporal or functional structures. Secondly, a general modelling strategy for building mathematical models for dynamic processes at the macrolevel of the society is presented and its relation to the general concepts of synerg…
Interregional Migration
Migration processes in all their theoretical and empirical aspects are a constitutive part of regional science and demography: No demographic theory and no reliable prognosis of the regional evolution can be made without taking into consideration the migration of populations
Synergetics and Social Science
Stability and cyclicity in social systems
In social systems at the level of the group, the organization, and the society, certain processes approach either a stationary state or a quasicyclic motion. This article examines the phenomenon as follows: first, simple forms of interactions between quantified socioeconomic macrovariables are introduced, including in particular “cooperative” or “antagonistic” interactions. Second, a dynamic model is set up implying these kinds of interactions be…
Concepts and Models of a Quantitative Sociology
Fokker-Planck Equation Treatment of Interacting Social Groups
If a physicist attempts to use his methods in other fields of science, some justifying remarks are necessary, because at first sight there seems to be no analogy between physics and, for example, sociology. But, while the fundamental laws governing different fields of science like physics, biology, sociology are very different and no easy direct connection between them can be established at the moment, there exists a unifying level of considerati…
The Statistical Description of Polarization Phenomena in Society
Statistical models based on probability laws, and originally used for the description of the dynamic development of an ensemble of interacting spins, are reformulated in order to study the structure of social groups of individuals mutually influencing each other with respect to their decision behaviour. After a description of the general features of these models, and relating them to the polarization phenomena in society, a quantitative model is …
