IN _UNCERTAINTY BY DESIGN_ LIMOR SAMIMIAN-DARASH PRESENTS CASES OF THE
USE OF SCENARIO TECHNOLOGY IN THE FIELDS OF SECURITY AND EMERGENCY
PREPAREDNESS, ENERGY, AND HEALTH BY ANALYZING SCENARIO NARRATIVES AND
PRACTICES AT THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY IN ISRAEL,
THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION'S REGIONAL OFFICE FOR EUROPE, AND THE
WORLD ENERGY COUNCIL.
Humankind has long struggled with the uncertainty of the future, with
how to foresee the future, imagine alternatives, or prepare for and
guard against undesirable eventualities. Scenario—or scenario
planning—emerged in recent decades to become a widespread means
through which states, large corporations, and local organizations
imagine and prepare for the future.
The scenario technology cases examined in _Uncertainty by Design_
provide a useful lens through which to view contemporary efforts to
engage in an overall journey of discovering the future, along with the
modality of governing involved in these endeavors to face future
uncertainties. Collectively, they enable us to understand in depth how
scenarios express a new governing modality.
