Thomas Martin Baumgartner (born ca. 1945) is a Swiss economist, known for his pioneering work in social systems theory with Walter F. Buckley, Tom R. Burns and others.

Life and work

Baumgartner started his academic career at the University of New Hampshire, where he received his PhD in economics 1976 with the dissertation The political economy of international economic exchange and development : a systems approach to the structuring of the international economic system.

After his promotion Baumgartner was affiliated with the University of Quebec at Montreal as visiting professor,[1] with the University of Louvain in Belgium,[2] and with the Institute of Sociology of the University of Oslo,[3][4] ending up as research consultant in Zurich, Switzerland, in the late 1980s,[5] where in the 1990s he directed the Creato-network for environmental planning in Zurich.[6]

In the early 1970s Baumgartner collaborated with Tom R. Burns and a number of other researchers, such as Walter F. Buckley, Matthew Cooper, Philippe DeVille, David Meeker, and Bernard Gauci, among others.[7] They have been developing a new theory complex, which came to be referred to as actor-system dynamics (ASD), a new social systems theory, substantially different from Parson's systems theory and the systems theory later developed by Niklas Luhmann.[8]
