Abstract

This paper aims at outlining the potential development of these countries by using the Future Oriented Thinking Index (FOTI), the new index that focuses on the present development opportunities and threats. This index includes the computation of partial indices concentrated on economic, environmental, social, health and education factors, where the selection of indicators that enter the computations, including their weighting, is the outcome of a survey conducted among regional development and sustainability experts and academics.

Keywords: Future Oriented, alternative indicators, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Greece, Republic of Moldova
