ALTERNATIVE IMAGES OF CHINA IN 2035:
A CASE STUDY OF TAMKANG UNIVERSITY WORKSHOPS
by Jeanne Hoffman
The workshops were structured around Inayatullah’s (2008) six pillars foresight process and employed the futures triangle, causal layered analysis and creation of scenarios to create plausible futures.
Four images were imagined:
(1) the probable future, The King of the World or Next Superpower;
(2) the feared future, The Hunger Games (China Threat),
(3) the preferred future, A New Gaia; and
(4) the alternative future, New Revolution.
