SYNOPTICS, part V: application of the Synoptics model for the social analysis of the sovereign system
by Herbert Rauch
International Journal of Global Environmental Issues (IJGENVI), Vol. 19, No. 4, 2020

Abstract: This part V deals with the introduction to Synoptics as a method and theory of social systems as a psychosocial approach toward societies at large. It elaborates in the following sub-chapters those social systems which have reached the 'highest social rank', i.e., sovereignty. Today they are mostly realised in the form of the nation-state. The considerations formulated here concerning this 'height of power' are the biggest pillars characterising these social systems: population strata, institutions, traditions and the ecological territorial base. However, also these considerations reach an unexpected strict frontier only one step further: the step into the global era, which unfolds in the 21st century, with new heavy challenges waiting to be somehow solved by the next generation(s).
