Improving Scenario Methodology: Theory and Practice: Introduction to the Special Issue

In this Introduction, we review the logic that underpinned our earlier call for papers and compare and contrast the papers selected with those selected for a similarly-themed special issue of this journal that was published in 2013. We demonstrate changing research emphases and concerns and then go on to review the contents of the eighteen selected papers that comprise the current special issue.
