Chaos theory and political sciences

Öz

The classic positivist model that has largely enabled the advancement of modern scientific knowledge is somewhat outdated. This paper aims to explore the new doors opened by chaos theory in social sciences, and more particularly in political science. The basic assumption of chaos theory is that in reality there are no closed systems with a given order. Thus, chaos is present in the most diverse phenomena, both in nature and in the daily life of humanity. The description of complex systems can be understood more simply with the butterfly effect analogy: a butterfly that flaps its wings here causes a movement of the air that can lead to a chain of events and can generate a gigantic effect elsewhere. Even small changes by individuals can bring about big changes in the entire system. Chaos has been defined as a dynamical system exhibiting deterministic, complex, irregular, non-periodic behavior and apparently random but maintaining latent order. Even if the path of chaos does not lead to a new paradigm in the social sciences, it nevertheless demonstrates its great potential for possible reflections and applications. This theory was mainly applied as a metaphor for description and analysis but the rhetoric and semantics of chaos brought with them a whole set of new concepts and terms that can be considered as a resource that allows the researcher to develop the knowledge and explore new aspects of the social and political phenomena observed. Chaos theory delivers new tools and methods for the researcher who intends to analyze statistically the evolution of dynamic political systems.
