Life Cycles and Long Waves

The selected papers presented in this volume are from a workshop held in Montpellier, France. It was intended to focus on possible relationships between "so-called" long waves in the economy and (shorter) "life cycles" in industry and technology. This book is only a small "window" into the wide and interesting range of long-term dynamic processes discussed at the workshop. Other topics presented at the workshop included cultural developments, national evolution, education, ecological systems, social identity, and problems of technology and finance. The book also contains interesting methodological papers on general systems theory.
