Zumbrunn, LukasLukasZumbrunn2023-10-112023-10-112023-10-11https://www.alexandria.unisg.ch/handle/20.500.14171/118296https://doi.org/10.5334/ssas.183Foresight is a strategic tool, which a state may implement to set priorities in politics and investments, show potential gaps in knowledge and information, and importantly better understand uncertainties. Therefore, foresight is a suitable method to increase a state’s resilience in various fields. The present study aims at answering the following question: What are the decisive factors for the use of foresight in enhancing state resilience, and what are the effective strategies for its practical implementation? The question is answered by taking a multi-method approach, combining a multi-step literature review with an illustrative case analysis of the implementation of foresight for resilience. The results are twofold: Firstly, by creating a structured framework based on research, the present paper develops a better understanding of projects aiming to achieve increased resilience through the application of foresight. Secondly, the case study on the United Kingdom’s Resilience Framework demonstrates the practical applicability of the framework and shows how the UK approaches resilience by applying foresight. The paper thereby highlights the potential of well-structured foresight projects as a central tool for states to help create an understanding of and make crucial decisions on resilience despite uncertainty.enForesightResiliencePublic ManagementPublic ForesightStrategic ForesightResilienzZukünfte des StaatsPublic Management Foresightjournal article
