- Abstract
This study is an attempt to comprehend the very nature of complexity in public policy and to underline the need for a new paradigm in public policy. The study is of the idea that complexity theory and the phenomena associated with complex systems possess a wide array of theoretical and practical tools to comprehend different dimensions of policy processes. Given the challenges of contemporary times with numerous perplexing issues, the work argues that complexity theory is equipped with the tools to grasp the complexities surrounding public policy issues. In such respect, many contemporary paradigms of public policies deal with complexities by means of subscribing to the perspectives of complexity. The study focuses on the basic problematization how new public management and governance schemes deal with these complexities.
