Description
Synopsis:
In a series of essays for the Foreign Policy Research Institute, two scholars at the National Security Affairs Department at the U.S. Naval War College call for a reconceptualization of the global map in the way strategists think about geography, bureaucracy, and national security. The Debrief sits down with Dr. Derek Reveron, chair of the National Security Affairs Department, and Dr. Nikolas Gvosdev, professor of national security affairs and editor of the journal Orbis, to help us redraw the boundaries that guide our thinking in contemporary strategy.
