As this project started as a PhD dissertation, I express my great thanks to my first supervisor, Birgit Krawietz, whose provided criticism and constructive advice on writing a dissertation which is not only enjoyable for expert readers, but also for non-expert readers.

The topic of book has occupied my mind since I finished writing my previous book: A Complexity Theory for Public Policy (2012a).

The complexity of public policy processes was recognized by almost everybody who practiced policy ana- lysis or policymaking or who studies policy…

In this handbook, we discuss and reflect on two intricately interwoven concepts: privacy and social media.

Social media are platforms for exploration, games, and the unlikely beauty of the mundane, the ridiculous, and…
