No.143 Foresight in the international relations

Institute for Western Affairs’ Bulletin (No.143/2013), Łukasz Nazarko “Foresight in the international relations”.

Foresight is perceived as a specific process of formation and the restoring of consistent and functional future visions. It has been popular with economy, management and political science specialists. It provides support for decision-makers and strategists in the creation of the policy in the areas of science technology and innovation. Can Foresight be used as a research tool and a practical instrument of international relations? Can it be an answer to the challenges which are posed for the actors of international relations by the increasingly dynamic and unpredictable environment?
