The decade from 2020 to 2030: Welcome to the World Afterwards… the babyboomers ! by Franck Biancheri
What will the world after the babyboomers look like? Or, more exactly, Europe after the babyboomers? This is the main anticipation work of this 3rd edition of MAP. And the subject’s worth it because, on the one hand, we’re seeing throughout Europe the growing expression of the younger generation’s frustration (the "Indignant" is the particularly obvious expression for them) against the frenzied selfishness of a generation that refuses to consider that it hasn’t "deserved" all the collective benefits and privileges from which it benefits, of which many are political "income" without ever having been there other than to play at being post-pubescent rebels during May 19681.

Young Europeans: a generation in search of a collective destiny somewhere between heroism and depression, by Bruno Paul
Young Europeans are at the forefront of enduring the consequences of the global systemic crisis. Following the Arab Spring’s example, they are spontaneously protesting en masse with similar demands, when the promised future seems unbearable to them. The analysis of the forces of change at the core of this particular generation leads us to place them as a pivot in anticipation of fundamental social changes at European level by 2030. If this change is certain, extremist drift is possible in the place of social restructuring. It is a collective destiny that this generation will shape and, therefore, one of the keys in the speed of power sharing with the generation of babyboomers.

2011-2020: Managing professional and social parity in Europe, by Bernard Volatron and Chantal Clarin
The global systemic crisis is, first of all, the bankruptcy of some of the male financial elite. The word, according to September 2008 and its Wall Street bankruptcies, “There is no Lehman Sisters”10, isn’t only a play on words. There is no diversity, first-timers, amongst the players in the Western financial crisis interviewed in the classic documentary, Inside Job. No more than on the boards of of directors of the Anglo-Saxon and European banks, finally the subject of two European Commission investigations.

The “death of Bin Laden”, a black hole in the anticipation world

The new European energy model out to 2030, by Jérôme Defaix
In a sense, as regards energy issues, the trends are relentless. Man, mostly Westerners, has, in 200 years, used the majority of the planet’s known and accessible non-renewable resources... And even if we could, by exploring virgin territory, push these limits out (not without risk or no additional cost) the problem of managing the “Earth’s reservoir” which, in principle, is empty, will arise in the long term for future generations.

Running into a BRICS wall : the upcoming 2014 EU-BRICS Summit
Ever since the signing of the Lisbon Treaty in 2006, the EU has been shifting its trade focus to the BRIC nations. The Global Europe project, launched in the same year, aimed to further develop and build on the Euroland trading strategy ofaiming to cooperate rather than compete with the new emerging powers. Up to this day European diplomats have been working on forging new trade agreements addressing the negotiations on various sectors: goods, services, investment, knowledge, research and development, etc.

The Iron Heel, Jack London
Through this book which appeared in 1908, Jack London can be considered as the pioneer of political anticipation. Although the author deals with the process from the perspective of a novel, not an essay, we find the central features that will be speculated upon in the early twenty-first century: reasoned discussion on the major trends at work in society, anticipation of the schisms rather than a simple underlying scenario, and especially suggested dates and places of major events in the near future.
