complexity in politics

[Stephen Guerin]

Nice article. And, Emergence is a good popular science book to a gentle
introduction to some of the complexity concepts.

Steven Johnson's classification of self-organizing systems into "clustering"
and "coping" may be similar to the distinction some people try to make
between complex systems and complex adaptive systems.

The last section on acting local with political systems is interesting and
may be worth some additional thought on how it may apply to Santa Fe.
