Your Definition
The deliberate, systematic application of social-scientific principles to redesign human societies, institutions, or behaviors according to a specific plan or ideology. Unlike the cybersecurity term (phishing humans), this is the grand-scale project of using policy, [architecture], education, and incentives to "engineer" social outcomes. It ranges from progressive ambitions (reducing poverty through welfare design) to [authoritarian] nightmares (forging a "new Soviet man"). Social Engineering is the applied arm of [social science], for better or worse.
