Numerous social pathologies can be usefully explored through systemic inquiry. Some examples are:
- the build-up of abusive inequalities and their stabilization through legal and political structuration;
- pathology of transculturation;
- the mechanisms and consequences of bureaucratization;
- the problems resulting from excessive size;
- the return to archaic political and cultural forms after the destruction of centralized or imperial structures.
