SPECIAL THEME: COMPLEXITY OF ELECTION

Election is a hot issue in politics, and since long time the challenges have been addressed to political science and even economics to give us more and more insights on it. While election plays a very important role in the social life of democracy, it has also been understood commonly for keeping the highest degree of complexity. The root of the complexity might come from the cultural, economic, anthropological, psychological, and other general social aspects of the society. Election, be it as a process to emerge a new democratic leader or a small voting process for having a public policy and collective decisions are laid upon a very wide aspects. This is the heart of our interest for further understanding while we have complexity sciences in our hands as a sharp tool to analyze and to scrutinize.

You are encouraged and invited to submit your research papers, opinions, speculative thinkings, and book-review to the Editorial Board by October 31th 2008 00:00GMT . Your ideas on this are surely important to our further understanding about the employment of computation and mathematics in social analysis.
