Large Scale Projects: Planetwide Coalitions Needed
Taking the Channel Tunnel as an example, there is a need for hard cost-benefit estimates to be made before any large scale project is begun. Long periods of gestation are frequent, high tech is not limited to macrosystems and structured collaboration between governments and other institutions is essential for success. The PAT system, supersonic tube flight and the priority selection of macroprojects are discussed and the establishment of a protot…
Macro-Engineering: Past and Future
Macro-Engineering: Past and Future
Large-scale engineering has been a feature of the human scene, even before the dawn of recorded history. But the designated, deliberate overview called macro-engineering is of recent vintage: the word was first used in 1968 and in 1970, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology inaugurated the initial seminars on the topic. Today, after a generation of academic courses, symposia and publications, and with an International Association of Macro-Eng…

A School of Engineering and Diplomacy: The Legacy of Lesseps
When the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy was founded, in Medford, Massachusetts, more than half a century ago, there was wide agreement that future diplomats needed to improve their acquaintance with the problems and norms of international law. That the perceptive president of Tufts University, himself a distinguished and successful jurist, was able to corral the official and practical cooperation of the Harvard Law School, conferred on the …

Macro-Engineering
The Knowable Future: A Psychology of Forecasting and Prophecy
Loye makes a useful contribution to the discussion of futuristics and the competing methodologies of forecasting 'the shape of things to come'. In brief, he is convinced that the human brain has an innate capacity for precognition, and he feels that this capacity is trainable. The early part of the book is taken up with a description of the growth of future studies, commencing with Jouvenel and proceeding to the California school and the Club of …
