Multiple issues orphan June 2010 notability June 2010 no footnotes June 2010 The Global Strategic Trends Programme was established in 2001 to research and understand potential trends that shape and inform the future strategic context. It is undertaken at the Development, Concepts and Doctrine Centre DCDC which is part of the Ministry of Defence United Kingdom UK Ministry of Defence and based in Shrivenham , Wiltshire . The most recent publication by the programme is Global Strategic Trends out to 2040 . This was published in February 2010 alongside another DCDC report entitled Future Character of Conflict The Future Character of Conflict and the Defence Green Paper Adaptability and Partnerships Issues for a Strategic Defence Review . One of the main findings of Global Strategic Trends out to 2040 is that the era out to 2040 will be a time of transition, characterised by instability both in the relations between states, and in the relations between groups within states. During this timeframe significant global trends will include climate change, rapid population growth, resource scarcity, a resurgence in ideology and a shift in global power from West to East. The struggle to establish an effective system of global governance, is likely to be a central theme of the era.

A strategic move in game theory is an action taken by a player outside the defined actions of the game in order to gain a strategic advantage and increase one s payoff. The key characteristics of a strategic move are that it involves a commitment from the player, meaning the player can only restrict her own choices, and that the commitment has to be credible , meaning that once employed it must be in the interest of the player to follow through with the move. The term was coined by Thomas Schelling in his 1960 book, The Strategy of Conflict , and has gained wide currency in political science and industrial organization .
