Modern Society as a Complex Dynamic System is Affected by Unforeseen Fluctuations. By Historical Standards, the Recent Introduction of the Nonlinear Approach into the Scientific World Picture put the Classical Understanding of Space and Time to the Obstruction. Consequently, there Appeared the Problem of Human Adaptation and his Worldview to the Asserting Complexity of the Society

This article gives a brief overview over the development of government research. The initial governance research was mainly state-centric, later to be followed by research departing from societal complexity. These two approaches are now beginning to gel, producing a research agenda focused on the changing role of the state and the role of networks in the process of governing.

"Superdiversity explores processes of diversification and the complex, emergent social configurations that now supersede prior forms of diversity in societies around the world. Migration plays a key role in these processes, bringing changes not just in social, cultural, religious and linguistic phenomena, but also in the ways that these phenomena combine with others like gender, age and legal status. The concept of superdiversity has been adopted by scholars across the social sciences in order to address a variety of forms, modes and outcomes of diversification. Central to this field is the relationship between social categorization and social organization, including stratification and inequality. Increasingly complex categories of social "difference" have significant impacts across scales, from entire societies to individual identities. While diversification is often met with simplifying stereotypes, threat narratives, and expressions of antagonism, superdiversity encourages a perspective on difference as comprising multiple social processes, flexible collective meanings, and overlapping personal and group identities. A superdiversity approach encourages the re-evaluation and recognition of social categories as multidimensional, unfixed and porous as opposed to views based on hardened, one-dimensional thinking about groups. Diversification and increasing social complexity are bound to continue, if not intensify, in light of climate change. This will have profound impacts on the nature of global migration, social relations and inequalities. Superdiversity presents a convincing case for recognizing new social formations created by changing migration patterns and calls for a re-thinking of public policy and social scientific approaches to social difference. This introduction to the multidisciplinary concept of superdiversity will be of considerable interest to students and researchers in a range of fields in the humanities and social sciences"--
