Rather, foresight is a field of practice with origins in several other more or less established academic disciplines such as evolutionary economy, strategy, technology assessment or social studies of science, futures studies.

Some authors have suggested that foresight has emerged from the convergence of the three disciplines and practices of policy development, strategic planning and futures studies (Gavigan et al. 2001),

In fact Slaughter made it clear in his review of a previous decade of futures studies that‘‘As we look ahead it becomes increasingly clear that technical innovation on its own is not the main issue.''

forecasting and other dimensions of futures studies remains important even if the field is not ready to tolerate a new collective term. 2 This leads to the second persistent theme.

Ian Miles has sought to position foresight in relation to the broader canon of futures studies 8 . While acknowledging similarities to la prospective,

he sees the main distinctive features of foresight from futures studies as lying in a link to policy actions,

than characterised many earlier futures studies. It should be noted that‘‘prospective strategique''in Francophone countries often stressed these elements,

as did occasional futures studies elsewhere.)This wider participation is not, of course, a matter of participatory democracy as commonly understood though such FTA could be an important contributor to establishing more deliberative democracy in S&t policy areas that have on account of the expert knowledge associated with them historically been dominated by vested interests and technocratic elites.

Backcasting scenarios for Finland 2050 of low emissions Sirkka Heinonen and Ville Lauttama ki Abstract Purpose The objective of this paper is to present an example on how futures studies methodologies,

yet contested, concepts in futures studies as Bo rjeson et al. 2006) rightly point out. Scenarios cover a whole array of various types of scenarios.

All in all, one can conclude that using futures studies methods in public policy formulation have promising possibilities. Especially participatory methods where views of various different VOL. 14 NO. 4 2012 jforesight jpage 313 experts are considered are recommended highly.

In the pallet of the methods of futures studies catering many different approaches to different needs can be found.

Emphasis should also be given on interpreting the results, even the odd ones that various methods of futures studies produce.

In recent years, the pre-eminence of collaborative planning has added to the detriment of futures studies.

These reasons explain to some extent the scant attention paid by urban planners in the last few decades to the revision and reinvention of futures studies as a field of practical knowledge.

Second, the social debate inherent to urban planning and the need for stakeholder collaboration can be facilitated through a mutually beneficial symbiosis between futures studies and urban planning (Cole, 2001.

In fact, futures studies have a long-term focus and tend to be holistic, while city plans zoom in on social and spatial realities.

Third, there is a tight relationship between futures studies and strategic planning (Ferna'ndez Gu ell, 2011. The need to think about the future

and formulate long-term development visions makes strategic planning a perfect client for futures studies. Since there are solid arguments for raising futures studies to a relevant position within the urban planning process,

the next question is whether they can respond to the requirements of contemporary urbanism. The answer could be called‘‘territorial foresight''.

In 2010 she started to work as a researcher in the field of futures studies, focusing on the development of an innovative foresight approach to identify major trends

Futures studies are omitted. Derrida's comment, as described by Staton (2006), creates the impression that the umbrella is for immediate protection from inclement situations rather than trying to see beyond them into‘what comes next'.

the Danish research Council for Research policy recommended that the Ministry for Science consider utilising futures studies in affiliation with its strategy processes 28.

because in both analyses, our aim was to ascertain how futures studies methods are being used in practice by governments.

Although many Ministers were indeed quite fond of futures studies, Members of Parliament often argued that they should focus much more on short-term matters.

To summarise, at both the national and local levels, the environment in which futures studies are conducted is complex,

and conclusions We can conclude that the use of futures studies methods at the local and the national level differ,

The logic behind this theme was to recognise the work already done in closely related areas, such as programme evaluation, futures studies, planning,
