Forecasting Strategic Issues, 1980-2000.

Abstract

An intermediate range of theory and perception for forecasting conflict is characteristic of international relations. Method is weak or absent. A proposal 'issues' approach adapts the technique of argument to explain assumptions and to search for new and unexpected developments. A case study of international interdependence is followed by methodological conclusions. Several summary issues are offered in an Annex and an Appendix as illustrations of further uses of the suggested approach. (Author)
