Thailand’s rural heartland is witnessing a profound shift as Thaksin Shinawatra’s once-loyal supporters reconsider their allegiances amid two decades of political turmoil and economic stagnation. Once hailed as the champion of the rural poor, Thaksin now finds his legacy in decline, especially after his 2025 imprisonment and the Constitutional Court’s removal of his daughter Paetongtarn as prime minister.

This dramatic reversal follows years of establishment pushback against elected governments, with the latest transition bringing Anutin Charnvirakul and the conservative Bhumjaithai Party to power. Despite promises of new elections within four months, repeated cycles of short-lived governments have undermined hopes for meaningful reform.

In Thaksin’s former strongholds like Khon Kaen and Udon Thani, villagers express disillusionment, citing unmet promises and mounting economic pressures. According to shopkeepers and farmers, rising living costs and stagnant crop prices have eroded the gains they experienced under Thaksin’s leadership from 2001 to 2006.

Economic data highlights these frustrations. The World Bank forecasts GDP growth falling to just 1.8% in 2025, compared to over 5% during Thaksin’s era, while household debt now burdens more than 40% of families. Analysts warn that Thailand could face Japan-style stagnation until at least 2050 unless structural issues are addressed.

Political instability remains a major barrier to progress. Repeated dissolutions of reformist parties — such as Move Forward in 2024 — demonstrate how establishment interventions prevent governments from enacting long-term policies. This cycle has created widespread cynicism among voters who once trusted in change.

As Thailand approaches another election, the nation stands at a crossroads. Whether it can escape this pattern of instability and address its deepening economic challenges will depend on both political will and the willingness of entrenched elites to accept genuine democratic outcomes. The coming months will be critical in determining if Thailand can break free from its “lost decades” or remain trapped in a cycle of stagnation.

Thailand’s political instability creates significant ripple effects for Singapore, given their deep economic interdependence and Singapore’s role as a regional hub. Let me analyze the multi-dimensional impacts:

Direct Economic Impacts on Singapore

Trade and Investment Vulnerabilities Singapore and Thailand have substantial bilateral trade relationships, with Thailand being one of Singapore’s key ASEAN trading partners. The U.S. trade share with ASEAN has grown from 8% to 11%, primarily driven by increased trade with Vietnam, followed by Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia Balancing Act: Assessing China’s Growing Economic Influence in ASEAN | Asia Society, indicating Thailand’s importance in regional trade flows that Singapore facilitates as a hub.

Thailand’s economic stagnation (projected 1.8% growth in 2025) directly affects Singapore’s trade-dependent economy. When Thailand experiences prolonged political uncertainty, it reduces import demand for Singapore’s services, financial products, and re-exports, while also making Thailand less attractive for Singaporean companies’ regional expansion plans.

Supply Chain Disruptions Investing in ASEAN can provide a strategic advantage for businesses looking to diversify their supply chains and tap into new markets. The region’s combination of lower costs, access to consumer markets, and supportive trade policies makes it an ideal hub for international expansion Business guide for 2024-2025: Shaping global supply chains in ASEAN. Thailand’s instability undermines this regional advantage that Singapore helps orchestrate.

Singapore serves as the financial and logistics hub for many multinational corporations’ Southeast Asian operations. When Thailand faces political disruptions, it creates supply chain uncertainties that force companies to restructure their regional operations, potentially reducing Singapore’s role as a coordination center.

ASEAN Integration and Connectivity Implications

Weakening Regional Cohesion Thailand’s political turmoil hampers ASEAN’s integration efforts, which Singapore strongly champions. Reduce intra-ASEAN trade barriers, harmonize regulations, and enhance regional supply chains. A more integrated ASEAN economy would be more resilient to varying U.S. policy directions and would have greater bargaining power in trade negotiations On U.S.-ASEAN Relations & Trade | Asia Society.

Thailand’s inability to maintain consistent policies or negotiate long-term agreements weakens ASEAN’s collective bargaining power in international forums, directly affecting Singapore’s diplomatic and economic strategies.

Infrastructure and Connectivity Projects ASEAN 2025 connectivity provides information about intra-ASEAN connectivity infrastructure investment projects Researching the Trading Systems in the Asian-Pacific Region – APEC, ASEAN, TPP, CPTPP, RCEP and their Members – Globalex. Thailand’s political instability jeopardizes major connectivity initiatives that Singapore relies on for maintaining its hub status, including:

Transport corridor developments linking Singapore to mainland Southeast Asia
Digital infrastructure projects that support Singapore’s smart city initiatives
Cross-border payment systems that facilitate Singapore’s fintech sector

Financial Market and Investment Implications

Regional Risk Perception The SET ETF has recorded a -11.8% … In July 2025, foreign investors briefly returned to Thai stocks, injecting 11 billion baht into sectors like petrochemicals and banking, driven by the weakening U.S. dollar and perceptions of undervaluation. Yet, this inflow pales Thailand’s Political Instability and Its Impact on Market Volatility and Investor Sentiment compared to previous levels.

Thailand’s market volatility affects Singapore’s role as a regional financial center. When investors lose confidence in Thailand, they often reassess risk across the entire region, potentially leading to:

Reduced foreign investment flows through Singapore to Southeast Asia
Increased volatility in Singapore’s financial markets due to regional contagion effects
Pressure on Singapore-listed companies with significant Thai operations

Strategic Competition Dynamics

China’s Growing Influence Thailand’s political instability creates opportunities for China to expand its influence through economic assistance and investment, potentially altering regional power dynamics that Singapore carefully balances. If Thailand becomes more dependent on Chinese support during its political crises, it could affect ASEAN’s unified approach to China relations that Singapore helps coordinate.

Geopolitical Realignment 2025 is projected to be a challenging year for Thailand, with political volatility and disruption expected to carry over from 2024. Thai politics is currently characterized by an uneasy alliance between the Shinawatra political family and Thailand’s conservative establishment Southeast Asia Global Relations Outlook Part 2: The ASEAN-6 – Southeast Asia Public Policy Institute. This instability makes Thailand a less reliable partner for Singapore in regional security and economic initiatives.

Long-term Structural Concerns

Regional Development Model Thailand’s stagnation challenges the ASEAN development model that Singapore has successfully promoted. If one of ASEAN’s largest economies cannot achieve political stability and sustainable growth, it raises questions about the region’s attractiveness for long-term investment, potentially undermining Singapore’s position as the region’s gateway.

Democratic Backsliding Effects Thailand’s cycle of military coups and judicial interventions contributes to broader concerns about democratic governance in Southeast Asia. This affects Singapore’s soft power and its ability to attract international organizations and high-value businesses that prefer operating in regions with stable, predictable governance.

Singapore’s Response Strategies

Given these impacts, Singapore likely pursues several mitigation strategies:

Economic Diversification: Strengthening ties with more stable ASEAN partners like Vietnam and expanding relationships beyond the region
Infrastructure Hedging: Developing alternative connectivity routes that reduce dependence on Thailand
Financial Innovation: Creating financial products that help businesses manage Thai political risk
Diplomatic Engagement: Using its ASEAN leadership role to encourage Thai political stability while maintaining neutrality

Conclusion

Thailand’s political instability represents a significant challenge for Singapore’s regional hub strategy. While Singapore’s economy is resilient and diversified, prolonged Thai instability undermines the integrated ASEAN economic model that Singapore champions and benefits from. The situation forces Singapore to balance its commitment to ASEAN integration with the need to protect its economic interests through diversification and risk management strategies.

This highlights the interconnected nature of regional stability and prosperity in Southeast Asia, where political problems in one major economy can create cascading effects throughout the region, even for well-managed economies like Singapore.

Scenario Analysis Framework

Scenario 1: Continued Political Fragmentation (Probability: 40%)

The Scenario: The People’s Party announced a deal to form a New, Interim government with any willing political party in order to break the political deadlock ASEAN economy under threat after Trump tariffs – GIS Reports. However, this coalition remains unstable, leading to frequent government changes and policy reversals every 12-18 months through 2027.

Immediate Impact on Singapore (2025-2026):

Trade Disruption: 15-20% reduction in bilateral trade growth due to policy uncertainty
Investment Diversion: Multinational corporations begin relocating Thai operations to Vietnam and Malaysia, with Singapore facilitating these moves
Financial Market Effects: Thai assets become increasingly volatile, affecting Singapore’s role as regional wealth management center

Strategic Response by Singapore:

Accelerate the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone development to create alternative manufacturing hubs
Singapore has partnered with Viet Nam to build 20 industrial parks across the country What Is ASEAN? | Council on Foreign Relations – expansion of this model becomes critical
Strengthen digital trade agreements with stable ASEAN partners to bypass Thailand-dependent supply chains

Long-term Consequences (2027-2030):

Singapore loses 8-12% of its traditional role as Thailand’s financial gateway
ASEAN integration stalls, forcing Singapore to pursue bilateral arrangements more aggressively
Regional power balance shifts toward Vietnam and Indonesia, requiring Singapore to recalibrate its diplomatic strategy

Scenario 2: Military Intervention and Authoritarian Consolidation (Probability: 25%)

The Scenario: Growing political deadlock triggers another military coup by late 2025, followed by a prolonged period of military-backed authoritarian rule similar to 2014-2019.

Immediate Impact on Singapore:

International Isolation Effects: Western sanctions on Thailand create compliance challenges for Singapore-based companies
Supply Chain Militarization: Military government prioritizes defense spending over economic development, disrupting civilian supply chains
Regional Diplomatic Crisis: ASEAN unity fractures as member states take different positions on Thailand’s democratic backsliding

Singapore’s Strategic Dilemma:

Must balance ASEAN non-interference principles with international pressure
Risk of being seen as legitimizing authoritarian rule through continued economic engagement
Potential loss of Thailand’s participation in the game-changing Digital Economy Framework Agreement (DEFA). Planned to be concluded in 2025 under Malaysia’s ASEAN chairmanship Agenda 2025, ALSC ASEAN | ALSC ASEAN

Mitigation Strategies:

Pivot toward “Track 2” diplomacy through business councils and academic exchanges
Strengthen ties with democratic ASEAN members (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines)
Develop “sanctions-compliant” investment vehicles that can rapidly adjust to changing international legal requirements

Scenario 3: Progressive Victory and Reform Agenda (Probability: 20%)

The Scenario: The People’s Party overcomes establishment resistance and forms a stable government, implementing significant political and economic reforms including constitutional changes and anti-corruption measures.

Singapore’s Opportunity Matrix:

Economic Renaissance: Thailand implements major structural reforms, creating new investment opportunities
ASEAN Leadership Revival: Thailand re-emerges as a key ASEAN leader, strengthening regional integration
Innovation Partnership: Progressive government prioritizes digital transformation and green technology, aligning with Singapore’s strengths

Challenges for Singapore:

Reformed Thailand might compete more directly with Singapore as a regional hub
Progressive foreign policy could create tensions with Singapore’s balanced approach to major powers
Rapid economic modernization might reduce Thailand’s dependence on Singapore’s intermediary services

Strategic Positioning:

Position Singapore as the “reform partner” providing expertise in governance and institutional development
Leverage Singapore’s fintech and smart city capabilities to support Thailand’s digitalization
Create joint initiatives in sustainable finance and green technology

Scenario 4: Managed Transition to Constitutional Monarchy (Probability: 15%)

The Scenario: A grand compromise emerges where the monarchy accepts reduced political influence in exchange for continued ceremonial respect, leading to stable democratic governance.

Transformational Impact:

Regional Stability Dividend: Thailand becomes a stable democracy, significantly boosting ASEAN’s international credibility
Economic Acceleration: Political certainty attracts major FDI flows, with Singapore serving as the primary facilitator
Geopolitical Rebalancing: Stable Thailand provides ASEAN with stronger voice in US-China competition

Singapore’s Golden Scenario:

Thailand-Singapore partnership becomes cornerstone of ASEAN integration
ASEAN stands out as a rare economic bright spot because it’s leveraging global uncertainty into a strategic advantage On U.S.-ASEAN Relations & Trade | Asia Society – this scenario maximizes this potential
Regional supply chains optimize around Singapore-Thailand axis

Cross-Scenario Strategic Imperatives for Singapore

Economic Diversification Acceleration

Regardless of scenario, Singapore must reduce dependence on Thailand:

ASEAN is expected to grow at 4.7% in 2025, while the global average is projected to be around 2.8% What Is ASEAN? | Council on Foreign Relations – Singapore needs multiple pathways to capture this growth
Strengthen economic ties with Indonesia (world’s 4th largest population) and Vietnam (fastest-growing ASEAN economy)
Develop “scenario-agnostic” infrastructure that can adapt to different political outcomes in Thailand

Digital Integration Leadership

Across Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, the internet economy—including e-commerce, food delivery and financial services—is expected to approach $360 billion in gross manufactured value by 2025 Ministry of Foreign Affairs Singapore – ASEAN. Singapore must ensure it captures value regardless of Thailand’s political status:

Create redundant digital payment systems that don’t depend on Thai participation
Develop AI and fintech solutions that can operate across multiple regulatory frameworks
Build digital trade corridors that can bypass politically unstable countries

Diplomatic Hedging Strategy

Singapore needs to prepare for multiple Thailand scenarios simultaneously:

Maintain relationships with all Thai political factions to ensure continuity regardless of who gains power
Develop “coalition government expertise” to work with unstable political arrangements
Create mechanisms for rapid policy adjustment based on Thailand’s political trajectory

ASEAN Institution Building

Such leadership changes could create greater regional solidarity, much-needed economic reforms and deeper regional integration – all of which would enhance ASEAN’s cohesion and prosperity The ASEAN Economic Community Into 2025 and Beyond. Singapore must lead institutional reforms that make ASEAN resilient to individual member state instability:

Promote “variable geometry” integration allowing stable members to proceed without unstable ones
Create ASEAN crisis management protocols for political disruptions
Develop alternative leadership structures that don’t rely on rotating chairmanship

Risk Mitigation Timeline

2025-2026: Crisis Management Phase

Immediate economic impact assessment and supply chain diversification
Diplomatic engagement with all Thai political factions
Financial market stabilization measures

2026-2028: Strategic Adaptation Phase

Implementation of alternative regional partnerships
Infrastructure projects that bypass Thailand-dependent routes
New ASEAN institutional arrangements

2028-2030: New Equilibrium Phase

Stabilized regional relationships adapted to Thailand’s final political structure
Mature alternative supply chains and trade routes
Singapore’s role redefined based on actual Thai political outcome

The key insight is that Singapore cannot afford to wait for Thailand’s political situation to resolve. Instead, it must simultaneously prepare for multiple scenarios while building resilience that protects its interests regardless of which scenario unfolds. This requires unprecedented strategic agility and resource allocation across multiple contingency plans.

The Chess Master’s Gambit

Chapter 1: The War Room

The 47th floor of the Monetary Authority of Singapore building hummed with quiet urgency at 3:17 AM. Dr. Sarah Lim, Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, stood before a wall of monitors displaying real-time data streams from Bangkok, Jakarta, Hanoi, and Kuala Lumpur. The emergency session had been called after news broke that Thailand’s Constitutional Court had dissolved another government—the third in eighteen months.

“Ma’am, the overnight currency fluctuations are already showing regional spillover,” reported Marcus Chen, the ministry’s youngest-ever Director of Strategic Planning. His fingers danced across a holographic display showing trade flows pulsing like arteries across Southeast Asia. “Thai baht down 3.2%, but more concerning—our port traffic algorithms are predicting a 15% drop in transshipment volumes if this pattern continues.”

Sarah nodded, her expression thoughtful rather than worried. At fifty-three, she had weathered the Asian Financial Crisis as a junior analyst, the 2008 Global Financial Crisis as a department head, and COVID-19 as a minister. Each crisis had taught her the same lesson: those who prepared for multiple scenarios while others froze in uncertainty would emerge stronger.

“Show me the Thailand Contingency Matrix,” she said quietly.

The wall transformed into a complex decision tree with four main branches: Political Fragmentation, Military Intervention, Progressive Victory, and Constitutional Monarchy. Each branch sprouted dozens of sub-scenarios with probability percentages, economic impact assessments, and automated response protocols that had been refined over months of simulation.

“We’ve been running the models continuously since the court announcement,” Marcus explained. “The Political Fragmentation scenario probability has jumped from 35% to 44% overnight. Military Intervention dropped from 30% to 22%—seems the generals are hesitant after the international backlash from Myanmar.”

Sarah walked closer to the display, her eyes tracing the interconnected web of consequences. Each scenario wasn’t just about Thailand—it was about Singapore’s entire regional strategy, carefully constructed over decades like a master chess player positioning pieces for multiple possible endgames.

“Marcus, activate Protocol Seven.”

“All four scenarios simultaneously?” he asked, though his fingers were already moving to execute the command.

“All four. We’re not gambling on being right about one future. We’re preparing to be successful in any future.”

Chapter 2: The Network Effect

Across the city, Singapore’s response machine quietly came alive.

At the Economic Development Board, Director Jennifer Wong received her secure notification at 3:45 AM. By 4:30 AM, she was video-conferencing with investment promotion teams in Ho Chi Minh City and Jakarta. The conversation, conducted in rapid-fire English mixed with Mandarin and Bahasa, sounded casual to any casual observer—discussing expanded “sister city initiatives” and “cultural exchange programs.” But each phrase was code for moving multinational corporations’ regional headquarters away from Bangkok, just in case.

“The Foxconn discussion can move to Track Two,” Jennifer said, referring to contingency plans for relocating the electronics giant’s operations if Thailand became too unstable. “And remind Jakarta that our port capacity expansion timeline just became more flexible.”

Meanwhile, in a glass tower overlooking Marina Bay, the Monetary Authority’s Deputy Managing Director David Tan was already on his second conference call of the morning. The first had been with Bank of America’s regional head, the second with Standard Chartered. Both conversations followed the same pattern: reassurance about Singapore’s stability, subtle suggestions about reducing Thai exposure, and quiet offers to facilitate the relocation of regional operations.

“David, you know we trust Singapore’s judgment completely,” said the Standard Chartered executive from Hong Kong. “If you think we should be looking at alternatives to our Bangkok operations…”

“I’m not suggesting anything specific,” David replied carefully. “But I am saying that diversification has never been more valuable. We happen to have some interesting opportunities in Vietnam and Malaysia that might interest you.”

What wasn’t said was more important than what was. Singapore wasn’t abandoning Thailand—that would be both premature and politically impossible given ASEAN solidarity. Instead, it was creating alternatives that could be activated instantly if any of the four scenarios required it.

Chapter 3: The Silicon Silk Road

In Singapore’s gleaming Fusionopolis research complex, Dr. Raj Krishnan was having the most important video call of his career with Vietnam’s Minister of Information Technology. On paper, they were discussing “enhanced digital cooperation initiatives.” In reality, they were laying the groundwork for a Thailand-independent digital economy corridor.

“Minister Nguyen, the quantum communication link between Singapore and Ho Chi Minh City could be operational within eighteen months,” Raj explained, his presentation showing fiber optic cables snaking beneath the South China Sea. “Combined with our new blockchain-based trade platform, we could reduce cross-border transaction times by 70%.”

What he didn’t mention was that the system was designed to handle the sudden redirection of billions of dollars in trade flows that currently passed through Bangkok. If Thailand’s political crisis deepened, Singapore needed alternative pathways to maintain its role as Southeast Asia’s financial hub.

The Vietnamese minister, a sharp woman in her forties who had overseen her country’s remarkable digital transformation, understood the subtext perfectly. “Dr. Krishnan, Vietnam is very interested in being a reliable partner for Singapore’s… expanding digital initiatives. We believe stable partnerships produce the best technological innovations.”

By noon Singapore time, similar conversations were taking place with officials in Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, and Manila. Singapore was quietly building a digital nervous system that could route around any political disruption in Thailand while maintaining plausible diplomatic neutrality.

Chapter 4: The Tightrope Walker

Three weeks later, Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul arrived in Singapore for what was officially described as a “routine ASEAN consultation meeting.” Sarah Lim met him at Changi Airport personally—a gesture of respect that would be noted in every ASEAN capital.

Their private meeting in the Istana lasted four hours, longer than scheduled. Anutin was a pragmatist who understood Thailand’s precarious position. His minority government was holding together through a complex web of compromises, but everyone knew the next crisis was just one court decision away.

“Deputy Prime Minister Lim,” he said over traditional Hainanese chicken rice, “I know Singapore is preparing for… various possibilities regarding Thailand’s future.”

Sarah set down her chopsticks carefully. “Prime Minister Anutin, Singapore’s only preparation is for ASEAN’s continued prosperity and stability. We hope Thailand will remain our strong partner regardless of your domestic political arrangements.”

“But if Thailand were to experience further… transitions… Singapore would be ready to maintain regional economic stability?”

“Singapore is always ready to support regional stability,” she replied diplomatically. “We believe in building systems that are resilient and adaptive.”

Anutin nodded slowly. He was, Sarah realized, asking for reassurance that Singapore wouldn’t abandon Thailand entirely, even as both leaders acknowledged the need for contingency planning.

“Perhaps,” Anutin said carefully, “Thailand could learn from Singapore’s expertise in… adaptive systems. Our political situation may be uncertain, but our commitment to economic development remains constant.”

Sarah smiled genuinely for the first time in the meeting. “Prime Minister, Singapore would be honored to share our experience in building flexible, resilient institutions. Perhaps we could arrange some technical exchanges?”

They were negotiating a lifeline—a way for Thailand to maintain economic relevance even during political instability, while Singapore ensured its interests were protected regardless of Bangkok’s political outcomes.

Chapter 5: The Stress Test

Six months later, Sarah stood in the same war room, but this time at 2:00 PM on a Tuesday. Thailand’s latest political crisis had triggered the activation of three of their four contingency protocols simultaneously. A military-backed government had taken power in Bangkok, the progressive opposition had declared a parallel government, and international sanctions were being discussed in Washington and Brussels.

But Singapore was ready.

“Ma’am, the rerouting is proceeding smoothly,” Marcus reported. “Port traffic that would normally go through Laem Chabang is being handled through Tanjung Pelepas and our Vietnamese partners. The digital payment systems switched to bypass mode automatically when the sanctions discussions began. And our financial institutions completed their Thai exposure reductions three months ago.”

On the monitors, data flowed in different patterns now. Supply chains that had been optimized around Thailand for decades were reorganizing in real-time around Singapore’s alternative nodes. Companies that might have faced severe disruptions were instead experiencing minor inconveniences.

“What about the diplomatic situation?” Sarah asked.

“Prime Minister Lee is maintaining ASEAN neutrality while quietly coordinating with Indonesia and Malaysia on economic continuity measures. The Thais aren’t happy, but they understand we’re not abandoning ASEAN—we’re keeping ASEAN functional despite the crisis.”

Sarah watched the numbers stabilize. Singapore’s GDP growth projections remained intact. Regional trade flows had adjusted but not collapsed. The chess pieces she had positioned months earlier were now holding the board steady while Thailand’s political hurricane raged.

Her secure phone buzzed with a message from the Prime Minister: “Cabinet meeting in one hour. Prepare briefing on lessons learned for next crisis.”

Epilogue: The Long Game

One year later, Sarah published an article in the ASEAN Economic Review titled “Adaptive Resilience in Regional Integration.” It became required reading at policy schools across Asia, though most readers missed its deeper significance.

The article didn’t mention Thailand specifically, but its central argument was revolutionary for traditional diplomatic thinking: in an era of rapid political change, successful countries couldn’t afford to base their strategies on single predictions about their neighbors’ futures. Instead, they needed to build systems capable of succeeding under multiple scenarios simultaneously.

Singapore had discovered that preparing for all possible futures was not only more prudent than betting on one—it was more profitable. The alternative partnerships developed during Thailand’s crisis had generated new trade routes, technological innovations, and diplomatic relationships that strengthened ASEAN even after Thailand eventually stabilized.

Thailand, for its part, emerged from its political crisis with a newfound appreciation for Singapore’s approach. The economic lifelines Singapore had maintained during the crisis became the foundation for even stronger bilateral ties once stability returned.

But Sarah’s greatest satisfaction came from a quiet realization: Singapore had helped prove that small, strategic nations could thrive in an uncertain world not by predicting the future, but by preparing for all possible futures simultaneously.

As she often told her staff in their post-crisis reviews: “We’re not fortune tellers. We’re architects of resilience. And resilience, unlike predictions, never becomes obsolete.”

The chess master’s gambit had worked. Singapore had played multiple games simultaneously and won them all.

Author’s Note: This story is fiction, but it reflects real strategic challenges facing Singapore and other small, trade-dependent nations in an era of increasing political volatility among their neighbors. The techniques described—scenario planning, adaptive systems, and multi-track contingency preparation—are actual methods used by successful organizations and governments worldwide.
