Summary/Abstract: PMESII model is a comprehensive instrument for developing viable scenarios in order to validate the missions of all instruments of power used to manage a crisis situation. At the same time, the coherence of such an instrument can affect the understanding of the security environment, whose definition is a distinct field under a comprehensive scenario. In our approach, we sought to highlight those characteristics of the comprehensive approach by analyzing the emergence of this concept in the vision of the main international actors whose responsibility is to maintain an optimal security climate. These characteristics are essential for adopting a comprehensive analysis model of the security environment, that is constantly changing. Therefore, PMESII model can be adopted for the development of comprehensive scenarios based on hypothetical situations emerging from systemic security environment analysis and meeting the needs of a strategic vision. In addition, using this model in developing scenarios presents a number of benefits that we will identify during our analysis.
