Contribution
It introduces a complexity science framework to analyze European social expansion and identifies key factors influencing its success or failure.
Findings
Wars played a crucial role in social expansion processes.
Identified vulnerabilities affecting social expansion.
Conditions for successful social expansion were outlined.
Abstract
The process of social expansion in Europe can be better understood with various concepts related to complexity science. Findings of exploratory research show a typical process of social expansion in Europe within the period 1495-1945, in which wars have been instrumental. Furthermore, this research enables the identification of vulnerabilities, and conditions for success in a process of social expansion.
