Modelling Policy Shift Advocacy

摘要

In this paper, we propose to enrich standard agent-based social simulation for policy-making with affordances inspired by second-order emergent social phenomena. Namely, we explore the inclusion of agents who have means to perceive, aggregate and respond to emergent collective outcomes, for example by promoting some reaction in other agents. These enhancements are intended for a subclass of socio-cognitive technical systems that we call value-driven policy-making systems. We motivate and illustrate our proposal with a model of policy shift advocacy in urban water management.
