Science-Based Scenario Design: A Proposed Method to Support Political-Strategic Analysis
Abstract
This paper proposes a methodology for improving scenario-based analysis to support political-strategic decision-making for defense planning purposes. It proposes the method of incorporating social scientific findings regarding the causes of war and conflict escalation into analytic assumptions, a process this paper calls "science-based structured scenarios." The paper provides a sample of how this method could be used.
