This volume considers experimental and theoretical dielectric studies of the structure and
dynamics of complex systems. Complex systems constitute an almost universal class of materials
including associated liquids  polymers  biomolecules  colloids  porous materials  doped
ferroelectric crystals  nanomaterials  etc. These systems are characterized by a new mesoscopic
length scale  intermediate between molecular and macroscopic. The mesoscopic structures of
complex systems typically arise from fluctuations or competing interactions and exhibit a rich
variety of static and dynamic behaviour. This growing field is interdisciplinary  it
complements solid state and statistical physics  and overlaps considerably with chemistry 
chemical engineering  materials science  and biology. A common theme in complex systems is that
while such materials are disordered on the molecular scale and homogeneous on the macroscopic
scale  they usually possess a certain degree of order on an intermediate  or mesoscopic  scale
due to the delicate balance of interaction and thermal effects. In the present Volume it is
shown how the dielectric spectroscopy studies of complex systems can be applied to determine
both their structures and dynamics.
