Mapping the Global Future: Report of the National Intelligence Council's 2020 Project
Mapping the Global Future is the third unclassified report
prepared by the National Intelligence Council (NIC) in the past
seven years that takes a long-term view of the future. The National
Intelligence Council, as a center of strategic thinking and over-the-horizon
analysis for the US Government, takes this as one of its key challenges.
As
with the earlier NIC efforts--Global
Trends 2010 and Global Trends 2015--the project's primary goal is to provide
US policymakers with a view of how the world developments could
evolve, identifying opportunities and potentially negative developments
that might warrant policy action. We also hope this paper stimulates
a broader discussion of value to educational and policy institutions
at home and abroad.
