What role do ideas about the future play in policy development? How does it affect the distribution of power between professional fields, the public and private sector, and different parts of the state? And not least, what conditions make people turn towards (good and bad) visions of the future?

Professor Jonathan White, Torbjørn Røe Isaksen, and Aksel Sterri will discuss these questions and other ideas from White's recent book In the Long Run – The Future as a Political Idea.
