Abstract

Just as various sorts of extreme climatic events are identified in Earth’s atmosphere, so are some types of extreme events in our sociosphere. A geopolitical conflict that can result in a social disaster is an example. In this chapter, the turbulent-like dynamics of international armed conflicts are treated within the scope of complex multi-agent systems explicitly considering the properties of multiplicative non-homogeneous cascade where endogeny and exogeny are key points in the mathematical model of the phenomenon. As a main result, this study introduces a cellular automata prototype that allows characterizing regimes of extreme armed conflicts such as the 9∕11 terrorist attacks and the great world wars.
