Information About

Project Camelot





QUOTE

''Project CAMELOT is a study whose objective is to determine the feasibility of developing a general Social System s model which would make it possible to predict and influence politically significant aspects of Social Change in the Developing Nations of the world. Somewhat more specifically, its objectives are:''

''First, to devise procedures for assessing the potential for internal war within national societies;''

''Second, to identify with increased degrees of confidence those actions which a government might take to relieve conditions which are assessed as giving rise to a potential for internal war; and''

''Finally, to assess the feasibility of prescribing the characteristics of a system for obtaining and using the essential information needed for doing the above two things.''
