Abstract:
In the aftermath of September 11, the classical term of security is not longer valid and has to be extended. The security forces and decisions makers are faced with new challenges posed by the phenomena of terrorism, piracy, climate change and new economic practical constraints. To cope with this task, they need some support. This paper describes a possible simulation concept of geopolitical crises. As part of the concept the theory of finite element method should be examined on practicability. The starting point is a hypothetical scenario of a fictitious country. Infrastructural, cultural and socio-political aspects will be taken into consideration for the prediction of future crisis developments.
