Handbook of Foresight, Strategy, and Futures Studies for Defense and Security

Gabriele Rizzo

Anthony Masys

This handbook addresses foresight, strategy, futures studies and policymaking in connection with the fundamental pillar of defense and security. It examines the state of play in the fields of foresight, futures studies, strategy setting, future-oriented policymaking, policy assessment and related areas. In addition, it describes new methodologies for scoping futures, innovative ways to employ consolidated techniques, and novel variations on some traditional futurist tools.
The handbook subsequently presents case studies in the aforementioned fields that pertain to defense and security in both traditional and non-traditional senses. Lastly, it delves into the topic of foresight-enabled strategy setting, mainly in the fields of government and policy, drawing on the experiences and viewpoints of respected professionals and scholars from around the globe.
Given its scope, the book offers a valuable resource for graduate-level education, and for government officials/practitioners in the fields of defense, security, and strategic planning.
