Sample Reports

Executive Summaries and sample reports are available below. The full reports of these simulations, and the interactive Wiki archives of hundreds of scenarios and policy options, are available for Wikistrat clients.

  • The First Woman To…: The simulation predicted what influential positions and/or deeds will be held/conducted by a woman in the future, as well as if and how this will impact the future geopolitical landscape.
    Download the Executive Summary
  • Re-building Post-Gaddafi Libya: The simulation proposed  policy options and strategies that different international actors could pursue in order to ensure the successful development and reconstruction of Libya in the post-Gaddafi era.
    Download the Executive Summary
  • Syria’s Turmoil Explored: The “Syria’s Turmoil Explored” simulation evaluated the stability of the Assad regime in Syria and forecasted the different possible consequences in the event of a collapse, or the survival of the current regime.
    Download the Executive Summary
  • When China’s Carrier Enters the Persian Gulf: The simulation forecasted a range of competing scenarios for the geostrategic tipping point that could lead to China’s first carrier group entering the Persian Gulf, a seminal event that naval experts predict could plausibly unfold no earlier than the 2025-2030 timeframe.
    Download the Executive Summary
  • The World @ Global Population Peak: The simulation explored the consequences of the worldwide population reaching its apex of between 9 and 11 billion people sometime after mid-century and explored  the range of impacts this critical event could cause in the years 2050-2100.
    Download the Executive Summary
  • The First Nuclear Detonation of the 21st Century: The simulation  explored possible pathways toward a 21st century nuclear attack assuming   that some actor (state or non-state) will inevitably succeed in purposely detonating a nuclear device against a dedicated foe.
    Download the Executive Summary

  • New Pope, New Challenges: The simulation explored alternative pathways Pope Francis I could take in his tenure as Pontiff of the Catholic Church.
    Download the Executive Summary
  • Venezuela Post-Chavez: The simulation explored main characters and dynamics that will define Venezuela in the aftermath of Chavez’s departure from power.
    Download the Simulation Report
  • Mali in the Crossfire: The simulation explored how, following France intervention, the ongoing military/political situation in Mali will evolve during 2013.
    Download the Executive Summary
  • Pakistani Nukes Go Loose: The simulation  explored follow-on conflict scenarios for when radical Islamist militias in Pakistan, amidst heightened tension with India, manage to hijack several of those devices.
    Download the Executive Summary
  • A North American Energy Export Boom?: The simulation explored the possible future pathways for North America’s ongoing energy export boom. This simulation was triggered by a years-in-the making technological revolution in the extraction of unconventional oil (tight oil) and natural gas (shale gas) deposits.
  • Download the Executive Summary  Watch Briefing
  • China as Africa’s De Facto World Bank: The simulation explored China’s expanding investment and trade presence across Africa, exploring what it meant for globalization when China becomes the de facto World Bank for the continent.
