He is a leader in applying computer modeling to social science problems. His book \u003ci\u003eThe Evolution of Cooperation\u003c\/i\u003e has been hailed as a seminal contribution and has been translated into eight languages since its initial publication. The \u003ci\u003eComplexity of Cooperation\u003c\/i\u003e is a sequel to that landmark book. It collects seven essays, originally published in a broad range of journals, and adds an extensive new introduction to the collection, along with new prefaces to each essay and a useful new appendix of additional resources. Written in Axelrod's acclaimed, accessible style, this collection serves as an introductory text on complexity theory and computer modeling in the social sciences and as an overview of the current state of the art in the field. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The articles move beyond the basic paradigm of the Prisoner's Dilemma to study a rich set of issues, including how to cope with errors in perception or implementation, how norms emerge, and how new political actors and regions of shared culture can develop. They use the shared methodology of agent-based modeling, a powerful technique that specifies the rules of interaction between individuals and uses computer simulation to discover emergent properties of the social system. \u003ci\u003eThe Complexity of Cooperation\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for all social scientists who are interested in issues of cooperation and complexity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Axelrod\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/07\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.09w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691015675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Axelrod\u003c\/b\u003e is the Arthur W.
