What is Lock Step?

Lock Step: A world of tighter top-down government control and more authoritarian leadership, with limited innovation and growing citizen pushback.
Lock Step is one of four scenarios in a Rockefeller Foundation-funded paper entitled 'Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development' written in 2010. In the simulation in cooperation with the Global Business Network (GBN) of futurologist Peter Schwartz, "a world of tighter top-down government control and more authoritarian leadership, with limited innovation and growing citizen pushback" is described as Lock Step. In order to protect themselves from the spread of increasingly global problems - from pandemics and transnational terrorism to environmental crises and rising poverty - leaders around the world took a firmer grip on power." The firmer grip on power is reflected in the other scenarios as well, in a mix of soft power and hard power techniques.
