- Description:
- This paper describes a model of a prototypical developing nation. The purpose of the model is to understand why violence and violent repression are so pervasive in the development process. Further it is intended to show how violence affects and is affected by other aspects of development. The model, which is programmed in micro dynamo, has three sectors, POPULATION, ECONOMY, AND GOVERNMENT. Preliminary results show that fluctuations in economic growth can lead to outbreaks of violence and deteriorating economic performance.
