This work strengthens the research foundation behind Pardee’s long-term analysis. Grounded in systems-based science and anchored by International Futures, the team advances interdisciplinary scholarship on how human, social, economic, environmental, and geopolitical systems interact over time.  This work helps maintain the rigor and credibility of IFs while expanding how scenario-based modeling can support research, teaching, and decision-making.

Pardee’s development analysis uses IFs to examine how policies, resources, and structural trends may shape human development over time. Through scenario-based analysis, we study pathways across sectors such as education, health, poverty, infrastructure, climate, and governance, helping partners compare tradeoffs and plan under uncertainty.

Many consequential changes in international affairs are difficult to see clearly in the moment. Diplomatic behavior, influence, and state relationships often escape notice unless they appear in a summit, crisis, or headline. Through data-building, tool-building, and analysis, Pardee’s geopolitical work makes some of those harder-to-see dynamics more legible for researchers, policymakers, journalists, and practitioners.
