Strategic Foresight as a Mechanism for Implementing International Forecasting

Abstract

The article offers the insight to determining the place of strategic prognostication in international relations and creating mechanisms for the successful implementation of foreign policy. Determined state policy with clearly defined goals in international relations is much more influential than pragmatic policy that does not have a clear strategy and does not offer its own mechanism for achieving defined goals and goes from one perspective to another. A strategic prognostication in international prognostication system creates conditions for a holistic approach to the formulation of a scientific problem and its solution, combines theoretical, conceptual and applied goals and objectives, provides an opportunity to arrive at precise positions, generalizations and conclusions by checking its implementation in specific foreign policy actions of the state. The mechanism of strategic prognostication affects the formation of a stable and multifactorial foreign policy, and therefore, as close as possible to effective, aimed at realizing the national interest.
