| Summary |
In a world increasingly shaped by unexpected events and developments--ranging from 'strategic surprises' like 9/11 or the Arab Spring to the unintended consequences of often well-meant decisions--trying to imagine contingencies that challenge current assumptions may well prove a useful exercise. This Report presents a number of grey swan scenarios which are designed to help decision-makers think about possible responses to crises and how they can be prevented. They cover a wide variety of geographical and operational situations while never explicitly calling into question specific EU actions or policies--only general EU principles and interests."-- Publisher description |
