International Security Seminar 2024

This seminar emerges – by design – from a collaboration between policy professionals, academics, and military leaders. It represents 13 topic-driven, transdisciplinary working groups, assembled from across professions, geographies, and nationalities. We hope these ongoing working groups will continue to be a resource for national and international leaders seeking to better understand critical economic, political, social, and technological questions at the heart of strategy. This report captures the work of over 200 professionals seeking to support and inform the joint, interagency, and multinational policy community at a time of significant uncertainty in the international system. This is the third of what we hope will be many more reports. The first report supported the initial drafting of the 2022 NATO Strategic Concept by Secretary General Stoltenberg’s Policy Planning Unit, led by Dr. Benedetta Berti, to whom we are immensely grateful for inspiring these working groups. We are also grateful for contributions of the late, great, Bear Braumoeller, whose mentorship and support helped bring about this seminar to.
