NESTED COMPLEXITY AND LAYERING

Visualize the interactions: policy sphere of

institutional, organizational, political and social actors

physical layers, representing technological, natural and economic subsystems

Clarify the set of actual decisionmakers that influence the development of the system Example: colectivo drivers

versus route associations

WHAT IS A COMPLEX POLICY ANALYSIS?

Aspects of complex policy analysis

1. CLIOS Representation Nested Complexity CLIOS Representation (physical system) CLIOS Representation (institutional system)

2. Integrated Assessment Interdisciplinary approach to understanding system behavior Consideration of multiple, simultaneous policy options Formulating results of value to decisionmaking Focus on process for building consensus

3. Scenarios Consideration of future uncertainties Policy options that are robust across multiple futures Flexible strategies Preparing decisionmakers for recognizing alternative futures

4. Regional Architecture Institutional relationships Information flows

SOME INTEGRATING THEMES

Dealing with fragmentation (ETC, public transportation, …)

Institutional Map: Understanding how organizations fit together to structure investment, policy and operations

Public-Private Partnerships as a key strategy Sustainability Flexibility in long-term planning Vision of the future for Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia

and how it relates to its transportation system Malaysia’s role internationally Malaysia’s industry and economic plan Malaysia’s land use
