PATTERNS OF POTENTIAL HUMAN PROGRESS
Improving Global Health: Forecasting the Next 50 Years - Volume 3 – 2011
The Frederick S. Pardee Center for International Futures at the University of Denver’s Josef Korbel School of International Studies is the home of the International Futures (IFs) computer simulation modeling project.

“……Improving Global Health is the third in a series of volumes—Patterns of Potential Human Progress—that uses the International Futures (IFs) simulation model to explore prospects for human development. The PPHP series is jointly published by the Pardee Center, Paradigm Publishers, and Oxford University Press India.   The current volume sets out to tell a story of possible futures for the health of peoples across the world.

Questions explored by Improving Global Health include:
·         What health outcomes might we expect given current patterns of human development?
·         What opportunities exist for intervention and the achievement of alternate health futures?
·         How might improved health futures affect broader economic, social, and political prospects of countries, regions, and the world?
 The IFs system of models and its applications are continually evolving. Even so, its foundation continues to rest on two defining characteristics:
1. it is long-range (its forecasting horizon extends to the year 2100), and
2. it encompasses multiple domains of human and social systems for 183 countries (e.g., population, the economy, health, education, energy, agriculture, and aspects of sociopolitical systems) and the interaction effects among them.

Tables in each PPHP volume display dynamic forecasts in all of these domains for major world regions and 183 countries over the next 50 years.
