This book inquires into the use of prediction at the intersection
of politics and academia, and reflects upon the implications of
future-oriented policy-making across different fields. The volume
focuses on the key intricacies and fallacies of prevision in a time
of complexity, uncertainty, and unpredictability. The first part of
the book discusses different academic perspectives and
contributions to future-oriented policy-making. The second part
discusses the role of future knowledge in decision-making across
different empirical issues such as climate, health, finance, bio-
and nuclear weapons, civil war, and crime. It analyses how
prediction is integrated into public policy and governance, and how
in return governance structures influence the making of knowledge
about the future. Contributors integrate two analytical dimensions
in their chapters: the epistemology of prevision and the political
and ethical implications of prevision. In this way, the volume
contributes to a better understanding of the complex interaction
and feedback loops between the processes of creating knowledge
about the future and the application of this future knowledge in
public policy and governance. This book will be of much interest to
students of security studies, political science, sociology,
technology studies, and International Relations. The Open Access
