PDF-(BOOS)-Historical Dynamics: Why States Rise and Fall (Princeton Studies in Complexity,

Many historical processes are dynamic Populations grow and decline Empires expand and collapse Religions spread and wither Natural scientists have made great strides in understanding dynamical processes in the physical and biological worlds using a synthetic approach that combines mathematical modeling with statistical analyses Taking up the problem of territorial dynamicswhy some polities at certain times expand and at other times contractthis book shows that a similar research program can advance our understanding of dynamical processes in historyPeter Turchin develops hypotheses from a wide range of social political economic and demographic factors geopolitics factors affecting collective solidarity dynamics of ethnic assimilationreligious conversion and the interaction between population dynamics and sociopolitical stability He then translates these into a spectrum of mathematical models investigates the dynamics predicted by the models and contrasts model predictions with empirical patterns Turchins highly instructive empirical tests demonstrate that certain models predict empirical patterns with a very high degree of accuracy For instance one model accounts for the recurrent waves of state breakdown in medieval and early modern Europe And historical data confirm that ethnonationalist solidarity produces an aggressively expansive state under certain conditions such as in locations where imperial frontiers coincide with religious divides The strength of Turchins results suggests that the synthetic approach he advocates can significantly improve our understanding of historical dynamics. Our gen erative model is an node multilayer network that has degree at most for some 947 and each edge has a random edge weight in 1 Our algorithm learns almost all networks in this class with polynomial running time The sample complexity is quadra A study by the UK Met Office identifies that as populations migrate towards coastal regions this will increase to 30M by 2080 The same study suggests that if sealevel were to rise by 44cm a midrange estimate the number of people suffering would incr DepartmentofChemical&BiologicalEngineering,PrincetonUniversity,Princeton,NJ08544,USA.DepartmentofMolecularBiology,PrincetonUniversity,Princeton,NJ08544,USA.*Authorforcorrespondence(celesten@princeton. and .
