Decision-making is discussed, with particular reference to:■ economic evolution as an open process■ self-organization and networks■ the political economy of complexity.Issues of evolutionary economic governance at various levels of aggregation arealso examined. Inspired by evolutionary thinking, a range of models emerge fromthe study, illustrating the variety and complexity of evolutionary governanceof economic systems.Exploring the little investigated aspects of an evolutionary economic policy,this collection of original papers goes beyond the traditional confines ofpositive theory, making a long overdue contribution to the field of evolutionaryeconomics. It will therefore be invaluable to a wide ranging audience includingevolutionary and institutional economists, governmental scientists, managementscientists and scholars following an interdisciplinary approach in the socialand cognitive sciences.
