This Handbook explores entropy, complexity, and spatial dynamics from fundamental theoretical, empirical, and methodological perspectives, considering how they shape and are shaped by complex spatial socio-economic systems. It aims to investigate the potential of complexity science to engage, revitalize, and advance theory in spatial economics, contributing to the identification of fundamental structural and dynamic properties of the complex space-economy.

Format: Hardback

This groundbreaking Handbook presents a comprehensive exploration of entropy, complexity, and spatial dynamics from fundamental theoretical, empirical, and methodological perspectives. It delves into how foundational theories can foster innovative advancements, including novel modeling and empirical insights across diverse sectoral, spatial, and temporal scales. By enlisting the expertise of leading experts from around the globe, the Handbook examines how entropic and non-entropic forces and processes within complex spatial socio-economic systems shape and are shaped by their structure and dynamics. Furthermore, in light of current concerns that big data and related data-driven methods may signal the end of theory, this Handbook aims to investigate the potential and possibilities for complexity science to engage, revitalize, and advance theory in spatial economics.

Overall, this Handbook goes beyond mere qualitative generalizations, contributing to the identification of fundamental structural and dynamic properties of the complex space-economy. Drawing upon a diverse range of foundations and perspectives, the Handbook on Entropy, Complexity, and Spatial Dynamics: A Rebirth of Theory? will serve as an indispensable resource for researchers and students across a wide array of fields and disciplines, including economics, urban planning and geography, regional science, information science, physics, and biology.
