Global dynamics
Origin: Lat. globus, Gr. δυναμικός, de δύναμις
Attempt by model-builders such as Jay Forrester and the Meadows team to construct computer models of aspects of the world system. Declined in popularity in the 80s due to concerns about the methodology, but becoming more popular now as techniques improve and greater computing capacity becomes available. Useful for modeling dynamic changes and 'what if' scenarios.
Spanish: Dinámicas globales
