About Seven Revolutions 
      Leadership is compressed. Greater connectivity across the world means 
      broader perspectives are more important than ever before, but leaders—no 
      matter what their sector—have far fewer opportunities to think beyond 
      their short term priorities and immediate responsibilities. Instant 
      information flows are bringing planning horizons closer and closer to the 
      present; pressures from multiple stakeholders are eroding prospects for 
      consensus. It is increasingly difficult for leaders to act in the short 
      term in ways that will yield long-term results. 
      SEVEN REVOLUTIONS is a project led by the Global Strategy Institute at 
      the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) to identify and 
      analyze the key policy challenges that policymakers, business figures, and 
      other leaders will face out to the year 2025. It is an effort to promote 
      strategic thinking on the long-term trends that too few leaders take the 
      time to consider. 
      In exploring the world of 2025, we have identified seven areas of 
      change we expect to be most “revolutionary”: 
      
        
        Population
        
        Resource management and environmental stewardship 
        
        Technological innovation and diffusion 
        
        The development and dissemination of information and knowledge 
        
        
        Economic integration 
        
        The nature and mode of conflict 
        
        The challenge of governance 
      Each of these seven forces embodies both opportunity and risk in 
      the years ahead. Together, they will transform the way we live and 
      interact with one another. That is why we call them the “Seven 
      Revolutions.” 
      
The key points of this research have been captured in an exciting, 
      fast-paced, multimedia presentation that has been taken around the world. 
      Erik Peterson, the project’s founder and director, has presented to every 
      sector—from governments to private corporations to academia to 
      nongovernmental organizations—and in every setting—from local boardrooms 
      to huge auditoriums overseas. SEVEN REVOLUTIONS is constantly updated to 
      reflect the latest data analysis and available technologies. It is an 
      effective tool for pushing audiences to think outside of their areas of 
      expertise and beyond their familiar planning parameters. 

      

      SEVEN REVOLUTIONS continues to be the focal point of a running debate 
      at CSIS and other organizations on the most important forces shaping the 
      world and the policy challenges they engender. It is a challenge to 
      leaders—a challenge to think seriously about events that are over the 
      horizon and a challenge to formulate and carry out policies in the near 
      term to effect longer-range benefits
