International Futures (IFs) is a sophisticated and comprehensive forecasting modeling system that we use to forecast long-term change and development in 188 countries worldwide. IFs brings together data, system dynamics, and human insight to explore "ambitious but reasonable" scenarios - futures that are both possible and plausible.

Where forecasting meets foresight. We model scenarios across a range of cross-cutting issue areas, including education, health, infrastructure, and poverty, providing an empirically-grounded view of how global systems might evolve over time. Analysis ranges from the global to subnational level and from assessing broad risks and trends to exploring focused challenges.

Many of the most consequential changes in international affairs are difficult to see clearly in the moment.

Through data-building, tool-building, and analysis, Pardee’s geopolitical datasets help make some of those harder-to-see dynamics more legible.
