Strategic Outlook
Strategic Outlook is a recurring, forward-looking collection of FOI reports, highlighting questions of great strategic importance for policy in the domains of defence, security, and foreign affairs.
The articles in Strategic Outlook build on research and analysis in diverse topics of strategic importance for “the defence and security policy debate.” The report is a result of cooperation between researchers and analysts at FOI. The first edition of Strategic Outlook was released in 2009.
