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.
Are you interested in the complex environmental, economic, governance, and security challenges emerging in the Arctic? Join fellow HKS students for a discussion with Professor John Holdren, President Obama’s science advisor and former director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and former Chair of the White House Arctic Executive Steering Committee. We’ll also hear from HKS students who participated in the 2016 HKS Iceland trek and discus potential engagement opportunities for students in 2017.
