It charts the emergence of different approaches and thought styles within the field ranging from Cold War defense intellectuals such as Herman Kahn to critical peace activists like Robert Jungk. Engaging with the challenges of the looming nuclear war, the changing phases of the Cold War, ‘1968’, and the growing importance of both the Global South and environmentalism, this book argues that futures scholars actively contributed to these processes of change. This multiple award-winning study combines national and transnational perspectives to present a unique history of envisioning, forecasting, and shaping the future.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmAuthor: Elke SeefriedGenre: Language & ReferenceTopic: Society & Culture, HistoryType: TextbookRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
