Mathew Burrows, director of the Atlantic Council’s Strategic Foresight Initiative, states in his article “The Big Question for 2015: What Kind of World Are We Headed For?”: “it will remain an uphill struggle to contain the growing instability, particularly in the Middle East, and the temptation by many powers – including in the West – to go it alone, intent solely on protecting their own interests.” Burrows spoke at the UI event The World of 2030. http://www.ui.se/eng/blog/blog/2015/1/12/the-big-question-for-2015-what-kind-of-world-are-we-headed-for.aspx
