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.
Please join us for a breakfast conversation between Lord Browne, Executive Chairman of L1 Energy and former CEO of BP, and Meghan O'Sullivan, Jeane Kirkpatrick Professor of the Practice of International Affairs and Director of the Geopolitics of Energy Project. Lord Browne will discuss the consequences of the new energy environment for society, as well as his new book, Connect. This event is open to the public and a light breakfast will be served. Please RSVP to Nika Sremac (Nikoleta_Sremac@hks.harvard.edu).
