Abstract

This chapter introduces the next theme, living in social systems. It outlines how the complexity turn in social science has come to an end, to be replaced by what we call the social science turn in complexity. This new turn provides a way out of the 13 situations, particularly by embracing a critical social science. It also reinvigorates the study of social complexity as disruptive science, by switching the focus to living in social systems. This shift in focus involves a rather diverse set of research agendas, which this chapter highlights: Complex Social Psychology (Ch 18), Collective Behaviour, Mass Psychology and Social Movements (Ch 19), Configurational Social Science (Ch 20), The Complexities of Place at the Local and Global Level (Ch 21), Socio-Technological Life (Ch 22), Governance, Politics and Technocracy (Ch 23), The Challenges of Applying Complexity (Ch 24), Economics in an Unstable World (Ch 25), and Resilience (Ch 26).
