Analysts are urged in the this step to isolate a particular pop- ulation for study. All “players” within this issue arena are identified for consideration, stretching to include some not typically examined. A sampling of possible actors might include prosperous urban elites, an eth- nic subgroup, a particular gov- ernment institution, a dissident group, a village council, house- wives across a region, a youth bulge, or the cadre around a leadership figure. From among these subgroups, or actors, one is selected for focused study. This actor may be the one expected to play the most piv- otal role in a particular out- come on the issue selected or one that is dangerously under- studied and may present a wild card for the future.
