Futuros lastrados: comunicación de la CIA sobre el futuro del mundo
Main Article Content
Abstract
En el trabajo se describen dos ejercicios de prospectiva, llevados a cabo por el NCI, un think tank de la CIA, y disponibles en Internet, sobre los escenarios posibles, respectivamente, para 2015 y 2020 publicados en 2001 y 2005. En el primero se accedió a profesionales sólo estadounidenses, mientras que en el segundo se amplió la base de información. Los cambios producidos en el mundo y, en concreto, desde la presidencia de Clinton a la del segundo Bush quedan reflejados en las diferencias entre ambos ejercicios, pero también parece quedar claro el papel que este tipo de productos puede jugar en la diplomacia pública del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos sobre todo al comparar sus resultados con los obtenidos con muchos menos medios.
This work describes two prospective exercises published in 2001 and 2005, and available on the Internet, on the possible scenarios for 2015 and 2020, respectively, carried out by NCI, a CIA "think tank". Access to only us professionals was gained in the first, whereas the information base was extended in the second. The changes which have taken place in the world, specifically from Clinton's presidency to second Bush's presidency, are reflected in the differences between both exercises. However, the role that this type of products may play in the "public diplomacy" of the United States Government is also apparently clear, especially when their results are compared with those obtained by much less means.
