Service: Crisis Prevention: PREVIEW

Responsible organisation: German Federal Foreign Office (Governmental)

Alongside the deployment of "skilled civilian assistants" the foreign ministry admits that it is also using modern instruments for "crisis prevention" analysis. To "be able to observe and evaluate disconcerting developments in countries and regions," the ministry uses "situation profiles" compiled "round-the-clock" by the more than 200 German diplomatic missions. On the other hand, with access to the "data tool" PREVIEW ("Prediction, Visualization, Early Warning"), software is now available which, using "information graphics" and the corresponding maps, can not only make "conflict situations" visible, but even provide possible "trend analyses" on the potential course of political and social developments.
