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.
A seminar with Joseph Florence, MEI Research Fellow and PhD Candidate in Political Science, Cornell University.
Moderated by Tarek Masoud, Sultan of Oman Professor of International Relations, HKS.
This has been rescheduled after being postponed from its original date of February 13 due to inclement weather.
