This volume, edited by Andreas Wenger, Ursula Jasper and Myriam Dunn Cavelty, looks at the use of prediction at the intersection of politics and academia, and reflects upon the implications of future-oriented policy-making across different fields. More specifically, the text first explores different academic perspectives and contributions to future-oriented policy-making. The text then discusses the role of knowledge about the future in decision-making in different areas, such as climate, health, finance, biological and nuclear weapons, civil war, and crime.
