Evolving types of warfare have increased the challenges to the development of effective international security strategies.
From increasing disinformation efforts to the re-emergence of great power competition, policymakers are dealing with an increasingly complex security environment.
Drawing from Kathleen McInnis’ recently published novel, The Heart of War: Misadventures in the Pentagon, the speakers discuss the many strategic challenges currently faced by the international security apparatus.
How effectively are security institutions dealing with these challenges? Do the people within bureaucracies feel empowered to formulate and advance national security policies?
And are the experiences of women in these bureaucracies different to those of men, and if so, how?
