Born out of frustration over the intelligence community’s inability to foresee regime changes in the former Soviet Union, Rwanda, Yugoslavia and elsewhere, in 1994 the U.S. government asked a team of social scientists to come up with a model that could predict where the next political crises would erupt. With funding from the CIA, the Political Instability Task Force spent 11 years developing a model that can predict regime change with a remarkable 80 percent accuracy. We’ll speak with Jack Goldstone, professor of public policy at George Mason University and one of the Task Forces’ leaders, about the project and learn about work on a new model inspired by the Arab Spring.
