Our World of Futures Studies as a Mosaic (Futures Series 10)

New publication in our Futures Series out now!

Our World of Futures Studies as a Mosaic introduces approaches to futures studies and foresight from different parts of the globe, appreciating and learning from the different contexts. The book will be openly accessible on our website.

In the same spirit of diversity, the nature and tone of the chapters and texts in this book is multifaceted. While acknowledging the histories of various regions in the field of futures studies and foresight, the book invites readers to think about the differences as sources of inspiration and sense-making – for what there is to learn from other corners of the world and other cultures and traditions.

This publication does not aim for an all-encompassing description of the world of futures studies and foresight, which is next to impossible, but to start building a mosaic. The publication includes collected works from around the world – altogether from five different continents an three global networks.
