To compete and thrive in the 21st century, democracies, and the United States in particular, must develop new national security and economic strategies that address the geopolitics of information. In the 20th century, market capitalist democracies geared infrastructure, energy, trade, and even social policy to protect and advance that era’s key source of power—manufacturing. In this century, democracies must better account for information geopolitics across all dimensions of domestic policy and national strategy.
Learn about solar geoengineering, technological proposals to counter climate change by reflecting sunlight to reduce global warming. Speakers will discuss scientific, political, economic, and social aspects of this emerging technology, addressing the wide range of potential benefits and risks.
A cocktail reception will follow the seminar from 6:00–7:00 PM.
