On Climate Change, Social Stress, and Violent Conflict (1)
- How does climate change influence
society?
- Do actors or groups of actors react in
social stress or even violent conflict?
- And how can it be predicted, prevented or
what intervention strategies can be used during occurrence?

On Climate Change, Social Stress, and Violent Conflict (2): On Agents
- How does climate change
influence society?
- Do actors or groups of
actors react in social stress or even violent conflict?
- And how can it be
predicted, prevented or what intervention strategies can be used during occurrence?
- How are agents affected
by climate change?
- How do agents make
their action decisions when affected by climate change?
- How can a problem-
solving process look like for successfully addressing problems of climate change?

- Rational-Calculative

- Path-Dependent ?

Paul A. David: On Path Dependent Acting Agents
“[..] while they are, as we now say, perfectly "free to choose," their behavior, nevertheless, is held fast in the grip of events long forgotten and shaped by circumstances in which neither they nor their interests figured.” (David 1985: 333)

What happens during following a path?
Substantial rationality Some constancy Or routine

What happens during following a path?
Substantial rationality Just, follow the routine
By Jasmin Kominek KlimaCampus Conference Hamburg, 2009
What happens during following a path?
Substantial rationality Just, follow the routine New Situation! Use some
- ld routine
Create a new routine Adapt a new routine Execute action drafts
- f other decision
instances

Ideal Type Path Dependent
- Level 3: shaping the
decision process
- Level 2: containing
decision criteria (e.g. Values, norms)
- Level 1: containing
action drafts as preversion for later action meta-patterns: Recognize
decision instances / drafts, execute drafts
patterns: external
instances are good; routines are good; institutions / standards are right
drafts action
