The James M. Hull College of Business at Augusta State University will present well-known strategist on global trends Eric Peterson as the first speaker in its annual Russell A. Blanchard Lecture Series on Friday, Sept. 12, at noon in the Jaguar Student Activities Center Ballroom. Mr. Peterson is senior vice president of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), where he is the William W. Schreyer Chair in Global Analysis and director of the CSIS Global Strategy Institute.

He will discuss the Seven Revolutions, an initiative that explores how global trends will affect the world by 2025 and which promotes strategic thinking and long-term planning by identifying and analyzing the seven “revolutionary” areas of change. Mr. Peterson identifies the seven areas as population, resource management, technology innovation and diffusion, information and knowledge creation and dissemination, economic integration, conflict, and governance, and he says that each area embodies promise and peril.

The author of several publications, Mr. Peterson is completing a book on global strategic trends and their effects on governance structures in societies across the world. He recently contributed a chapter entitled Scanning the More Distant Future to the book For the Common Good: The Ethics of Leadership in the 21st Century. He has made presentations in 14 countries.
