Why Individual Interactions are Not Enough? Agent-Based Simulation of Polity. An Operational Concept
Year: 2013
Type: preprint
Abstract: Social modeling research has had major contributions to mechanism and process modeling by introducing micro-macro models able to replicate social mechanisms and allow for bottom-up constructive approaches like the artificial societies. Applied to political mechanisms, the social simulation modeling paradigm proves one major weakness, namely its low capacity to deconstruct the political phenomena and thus explain the macro-micro patterns. In this paper we argue that the individual interactions mechanism is not enough for the computational and simulation modeling of political phenomena. We suggest a political culture approach to polity agent-based modeling and simulation and introduce an operational concept and architecture.
