About Foresight
Foresight is a new international programme of investigation and debate structured around the challenge of forging common futures in a multi-polar world. The last decade has seen a major shift in the distribution of power away from the OECD towards other regions of the world. Foresight aims to ensure a smooth transition by encouraging better multilateral understanding and promoting a fairer and more functional international order.
