STRATEGIC
ANALYSIS PROGRAM
-
The
NIC's Strategic Analysis Program is a systematic
research and development program on broad crosscutting
issues for the new millennium. The first two years
of the program culminated in the production of a
major report,
Global Trends
2015: A Dialogue About the Future with Nongovernment
Experts. The paper
identifies seven key drivers that will shape the
world in 2015. The Strategic Analysis Program will
continue to examine broad features of the changing
security environment, such as:
- The
Changing Nature and Sources of Military Power:

advances are likely to alter the nature of military
challenges. The changing military doctrines of

in Science and Technology: The
implications of the growing interactions among
critical technologies, including information technology,
biotechnology, materials technology, and nanotechnology
-
