Tomorrow’s robots – hard-working, loyal companions. Thinking Futures — Integral Futures. A Methodological Interlude: Alternative Futures and Deductive Forecasting. The "Manoa School of Futures Studies," led by Jim Dator at the University of Hawaii, has been training students (including me) in the theories and methods of futures studies for almost 40 years.
The prevailing philosophy of the program is that "the future cannot be predicted, because 'the future' doesn't exist. " Instead futures research and forecasting should be directed toward developing and understanding 'alternative futures.' These alternative futures are a way to categorize our individual and collective "images of the future. " Understanding our images and beliefs about the future is part of the process to help us make wiser decisions today, and to install a sense of empowerment and responsibility towards future generations.

The General Evolution Research Group The General Evolution Research Group (GERG) began with a secret meeting in Budapest in 1984 of scientists from both sides of the Iron Curtain during a critical juncture in the Cold War.
Spurred by the mounting threat to our species of rapid nuclear proliferation and overkill, the purpose was to see if it might be possible to use the chaos theory then coming into vogue to develop a new general theory of evolution that might serve as a road map for our species out of the mounting chaos of our times to the reassuring order of a better world.

Qui sommes-nous ?
Le site prospective.fr est la vitrine des réalisations et des projets de la Société Internationale des Conseillers de Synthèse (SICS). Nous sommes une société anonyme : comment, autrement que sous la forme commerciale, préserver notre indépendance et la continuité de notre action ? La SICS a été créée en 1947 et c’est le 10 mai 1957 que nous avons créé, autour du philosophe Gaston Berger, le Centre international de prospective. Trois générations se sont succédées depuis, poursuivant la démarche initiée par Gaston Berger, inventeur de la prospective. Cette démarche, nécessairement généraliste (les prospectives spécialisées n’ont de sens et d’utilité qu’en aval), consiste à : • viser l’action : la prospective est une science de l’action, • prendre en compte la complexité du monde actuel, l’éclairer par cette perspective sur l’avenir qu’offre « le clair d’avenir », SICS-Société Internationale des Conseillers de synthèse - Bibliothèque.

The African Future Institute (AFI) was established in 2004 to sustain prospective thinking in Africa by optimising on the achievements of the African Futures project (set up in 1992 by the United Nations Development Program). The list of the major documents produced by African Futures is available on the AFI website. The AFI is a pan-African non-governmental organization registered as such in South Africa.
Headquartered in Cape Town, its mission is to serve as "an African platform for prospective thinking to facilitate the formulation by African countries of endogenous development models and approaches to achieve social justice, safeguard the dignity of their people and win the 21st century battle". www.africanfutures.net.

In the first part of this article, the author describes the political context surrounding the high-risk presidential elections that will take place in six countries in West Africa in 2014-2015.
It considered in particular, the anticipated intensity of electoral competition in each country, one of the three elements of risk he’ll use, to assess the likelihood of violence. In this second part, he examines the current security context of the different countries and the institutional environments that will oversee the electoral process.

Against the common belief that the success or failure of foresight entities is determined by the strategies they take or their management ability in running a business, I want to highlight that larger forces in the environment, typically unseen by managers, allow some foresight entities to succeed and others to fail.
In recent years, a growing number of futurists and think tanks have emerged in the foresight field, but few of them have succeeded against tsunamis of social change on regional and global levels. If a futurist or a foresight think tank happens to be in the right place at the right time, the chances for success are much higher, regardless of the manager's ability.

Is there non-western science fiction? If so, what is its nature?
