Unexpected consequences? Bicameral policymaking shifts through term limits
Emerald - - 2011
PurposeThe imposition of term limits in bicameral (two‐chamber) state
legislatures could produce unforeseen consequences in the policymaking process.
Supporters of term limit rules have not considered that their imposition could
fundamentally shift the sequence of policymaking in legislatures. This is
important given that research on sequential bicameral policymaking suggests
qualities of the lowe...
Making anticipatory systems more robust
Emerald - Tập 12 Số 3 - Trang 72-85 - 2010
PurposeWhen coping with complex, but also possibly disruptive and open‐ended
social dynamics, the anticipatory system idea, which was developed by Rosen in
the realm of physical and biological system observation, remains a reference
framework, but one that may need to be reinforced by other theoretical
considerations. This paper aims at using a debate that took place in a specific
foresight discus...
How scenarios support strategic early warning processes
Emerald - - 2004
To survive and grow in an era of uncertainty, companies should strive not only

expectations, but instead they should try to acquire multiple views that
describe the whole ”window of opportunities”. The development of external market
scenarios to assess current strategies is the usual way of coping with these
uncertainties. Today...
Durkheim among the geneticists? human genetics, ethics and methods in futures studies
Emerald - Tập 2 Số 1 - Trang 15-19 - 2000
It is widely claimed that new developments in human genetics will be
instrumental in shaping life over the next century. But how, exactly, might
these technologies affect developed societies? Do technologies themselves shape
society or are technologies such as genetic testing and engineering themselves
shaped by social structures? This article looks at the need for futurists to
consider the ethica...
Keynes and the future
Emerald - - 2003
In 1930, John Maynard Keynes explored long‐term economic growth, anticipating
that the economic problem of scarcity was likely to vanish in a century’s time.
The Keynes’ scenario is confronted with current developments related to the
growth of services and to the distributional and environmental aspects of
sustainable development.
The coming wave of urban villages?
Emerald - Tập 1 Số 3 - Trang 241-249 - 1999
Our rapidly changing digital/information technologies are reckoned by some to be
a force that will radically change settlement patterns. One scenario put forth
is that of an era in which people work wherever they choose but live in small
neighbourly and well‐thought‐out communities – urban villages. The argument made
in this article is that this will not happen until we harness more effectively
