RAND - The future of warfare in 2030 (2020)

Preface

Where will the next war occur? Who will fight in it? Why will it occur? How will it be fought? Researchers with RAND Project AIR FORCE’s Strategy and Doctrine Program attempted to answer these questions about the future of warfare—specifically, those conflicts that will drive a U.S. and U.S. Air Force response—by examining the key geopolitical, economic, environmental, geographic, legal, informational, and military trends that will shape the contours of conflict between now and 2030. This report is one of a series that grew out of this effort.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Royal Society - Human Enhancement and the Future of Work (2012)

 

Summary 

 

Human enhancement and the future of work summarises technological advancements that could dramatically change how people work over the next decade. These technologies, such as cognitive enhancing drugs, bionic limbs and retinal implants, affect various human capacities such as memory, hearing and mobility.

ScMI - New Global Scenarios: World Economy, Power Shift and Global Architectures (2022)

Foreword

 

The Western World and the European Union in particular are currently challenged by a multitude of crises: The Russian war against Ukraine, climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, the energy crisis, migration, international terrorism, the decline of traditionally dominant geopolitical powers and the deterioration of the rule of law. More than ever, it is necessary to prepare for the future by assessing possible future scenarios of how the global economy and the future world order might look like.
