Global foresight

“Global foresight: Anticipatory governance and the making of geo-cultural scenarios” investigates how global foresight organizations attempt to anticipate the future, how scenario models are produced, and what they tell us about proposed solutions for tackling urgent global challenges. The project was awarded a five-year grant in the 2015 jubilee call for proposals on New Horizons for Humanities and Social Sciences (Nya utsikter för HumSam), starting in January 2016. It is based at the Department of Social Anthropology, Stockholm University.
