Zusammenfassung
Analysen von Sozialsystemen beschäftigen sich mit unterschiedlichen Gesellschaftsformen (societies), die als Menge von Individuen, die regelmäßig miteinander interagieren und dies häufiger miteinander tun als mit Mitgliedern anderer Gesellschaften, definiert werden können. Die zunächst unüberschaubare Vielfalt der Sozialsysteme kann aus heuristischen Gründen in drei Bestandteile zerlegt werden (Abb. 12.1).
