Complexity is a new scientific paradigm that provides new ways of understanding and studying public problems in the world. Complexity theory within the framework of public policy studies allows us to describe series and behaviors of subsystems, rules, external forces, and high-level behavior, tools such as dynamic systems modeling, network analysis, agent-based models, and automata provide to public policymakers news perspectives in the public policy cycle. How we can improve public policies from the complexity perspective? In the new global context: how governments are evolving to this type of vision?"
