Global Trends to 2025 – A Transformed World…or more of the same!!?
Global Trends to 2025 – A Transformed World…or more of the same!!?
Mathew J. Burrows
Counselor, National Intelligence Council, USA
What are the key strategic trends, threats and opportunities facing business, government and the world’s citizens (rich and poor) from now to 2025? What roles might governments, businesses, public institutions and citizens’ groups play in creating a future that maximizes chances for stability while optimizing opportunities for as many people as possible? As the lead author of the National Intelligence Council’s recent report, Global Trends 2025: A Transformed World, Dr. Mathew Burrows has grappled with these issues and has arrived at some succinct – if provocative – answers.

Tendances mondiales d’ici à 2025 – un monde transformé …ou du pareil au même !!?
Mathew J. Burrows
Conseiller, National Intelligence Council, États-Unis
À quelles tendances stratégiques clefs et à quelles menaces devront faire face les gouvernements, les entreprises et les populations (riches et pauvres) d’ici 2025 ? Quelles occasions se présenteront ? Quel rôle les gouvernements, le secteur privé, les institutions publiques et les groupes de pression pourraient-ils jouer dans la création d’un avenir qui favoriserait la stabilité et permettrait au plus grand nombre d’individus possible de réussir ? En tant qu’auteur principal d’un rapport intitulé Global Trends 2025: A Transformed World, qui vient d’être publié par le National Intelligence Council, Mathew Burrows s’est penché sur ces questions et en est arrivé à des réponses concises, qui ne manquent pas de provoquer la réflexion.

Cavalry to the Rescue? 2009 as a Pivotal Year for the Afghanistan Mission
Cavalry to the Rescue? 2009 as a Pivotal Year for the Afghanistan Mission
Roland Paris
University Research Chair in International Security and Governance, University of Ottawa
Acknowledging the urgency of the situation in Afghanistan, the United States is poised to deploy an additional 20,000 to 30,000 forces to Afghanistan over the coming year, and President-elect Obama has pledged to revise America’s approach to development assistance and diplomacy in the region. How might these changes affect the international mission and the prospects for peace and stability in Afghanistan? What will be the impact on Canada’s mission in Kandahar? Roland Paris, an international security expert who visited Afghanistan in December, will discuss the prospects and perils of the upcoming year.

La cavalerie à la rescousse ? 2009, une année charnière pour la mission canadienne en Afghanistan
Roland Paris
Titulaire de la Chaire de recherche en sécurité et gouvernance internationales, Université d’Ottawa
Conscients de l’urgence de la situation en Afghanistan, les États-Unis s’apprêtent à déployer de 20,000 à 30,000 troupes supplémentaires dans le pays durant l’année, et le président désigné Barack Obama s’est engagé à revoir la stratégie américaine en ce qui a trait à l’aide au développement et à la diplomatie dans la région. Quelles seront les conséquences de ces changements sur la mission internationale et sur les perspectives de paix et de stabilité en Afghanistan ? Quelles répercussions peut-on prévoir sur la mission canadienne à Kandahar ? Roland Paris, expert en matière de sécurité internationale, qui s’est rendu en Afghanistan en décembre, examinera les perspectives et les risques en 2009.
