<dd>This thesis reviews the decision-making dilemma caused by information uncertainty and ambiguity produced during crisis situations. Several cross- impact analysis techniques are reviewed and evaluate as possible crisis decision-aids. Cross-event analysis is selected and extended for demonstration in a hypothetical crisis situation involving South Asia. The selected techniques is operationalized and employed in a controlled environment to assess policy response options to the hypothetical crisis. The thesis then assesses the technique's conceptual limitations, and evaluates its utility as a potential crisis decision-aiding methodology. (Author)</dd>
