Securely Insecure: Examining the Demographic Divide over National Security Threats and U.S. Foreign Policy
When the Biden Administration released it’s National Security Strategy two years ago priorities outlined were organized around twin challenges: increasing geopolitical tensions, especially with China and Russia, and shared global problems around climate change, disease, terrorism, and economic inequality. The White House strategy assumed public consensus about the security threats the country faces.
Overcoming the ‘Perils’ and Anticipating the ‘Promise’ of Compound Security Competition (CsC)
This event was rescheduled from the original April 3, 2024 date.
Our current 20th century approach to confronting our adversaries – state and non-state – will continue to fall short, if not fail. This is due to cultural, political, and environmental forces that are rapidly altering the environment of global geopolitical competition and hence accelerating the evolution of compound security threats. Our adversaries at every level, subnational to nation state to regional, are exploiting this changed environment to present us with more dilemmas – radicalization, transnational crime, climate insecurity, forced population movements.
