The Crisis of the European Union as a Complex Adaptive System
本文认为欧盟当前危机比官方承认的更深刻，以主权债务危机和难民危机为例，指出危机应被重新理解为一种复杂适应系统，现行政策不仅未解决反而加剧了问题，并提出适应性行动框架来改变现状。
Abstract The present article argues that the current crisis of the European Union (EU) is much deeper and more profound than many EU officials and analysts care to admit. Taking the so‐called sovereign debt crisis and the refugee crisis as illustrative case studies it is argued that the crisis needs to be reframed as a Complex Adaptive System which is self‐organizing in a deeply incoherent manner and which current EU policies are not only not addressing but exacerbating. As an alternative, the article suggests using Adaptive Action as a framework to identify the conditions which sustain the current dysfunctionality of the European Union and makes concrete suggestions on how these conditions can be altered. Areas of further research are also identified.
