ANTICIPATING THE FUTURE: STRATEGIC FORESIGHT & INTERNATIONAL SECURITY

In the 5th Episode of ICoCA’s Podcast Series ‘Future Security Trends: Implications for Human Rights’, we talk to Emily Munro, Head of Strategic Anticipation at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP).

Amongst other questions we ask:

• What has COVID-19 taught us about strategic anticipation, how well-prepared were we for a pandemic and what has this preparedness taught us about the importance of using strategic foresight to be better prepared in the future?
• How can we anticipate what will be the most significant challenges in ensuring a responsible private security sector in the future?
• How can strategic anticipation be harnessed by multi-stakeholder initiatives with diverse stakeholder groups that include human rights defenders, governments and multi-national corporations?
