“…(Dobbins 2007). More recent analyses of the surge also fail to mention intergovernorate economic integration as a consideration in military planning (see Sky 2011;Alvarez-Ramirez et al 2010). During our conversations with field-grade officers deployed to Iraq during the surge, none mentioned economic integration as a stated goal of stability operations.…”

“…Sometimes, we are not able to know the structure of the system directly, but through the analysis of its emergent properties, we can derive some useful information on it. An interesting example has been provided by Alvarez-Ramirez et al (2010).

Conflict Theory, Complexity and Systems Approach

Since the end of the Cold War, we have been witnessing the emergence of new types of conflicts. These are progressively more complex, but are, still too often, conceptualised and approached simplistically, using a linear type of reasoning. Complexity is disregarded, and the need for systemic thinking is underestimated, not rarely leading to disastrous results. Feedbacks are most often ignored, and the complex dynamics which make a conflict to change over time, following often unpredictable paths, are rarely taken into account. A shift from a precomplexity mindset to a mindset founded in an understanding of complexity is necessary. In the paper, using concrete examples, we will try to show how a systems thinking approach is essential to analyse today's conflict, to prevent them, and to act so as to make them develop along non violent constructive paths rather than along violent destructive ones.

Terrorism, System Thinking and Critical Discourse Analysis

Starting from a critical analysis of the US intervention in Afghanistan in response to the 11 September 2001 events, this paper seeks to propose a different approach to terrorism/counterterrorism analysis consisting in putting at the forefront the discursive dimension of the phenomenon through the lens of critical discourse analysis and in grounding it in a system thinking approach. The main argument is that ‘terrorism’ cannot be understood outside a context, language and culture, and that to be fully grasped as a dynamic phenomenon, it has to be framed in a systems perspective. Among the key elements of system thinking that can enhance the understanding of terrorism are boundary definition, casual loops and feedbacks, delays, emergent properties and overshoot‐and‐collapse.
