Fifth Plenary: New Players, New Partnerships The International Institute for Strategic Studies 10 Nov 2024 In efforts to rebuilding their defence capacities, several European powers have also intensified their defence-industrial collaboration with partners outside the Euro-Atlantic region. Partners in the Indo-Pacific and the Middle East could indeed play an important role in helping to address European capability shortfalls, as well as to partner in major defence-industrial projects. The panel will discuss the role played by new partners in European defence-capability initiatives.

an organization with a vision and mission.

If the key States and credible Partners or Actors want to frankly avoid the World War 3, the final count down, and the hot tipping points, a lot of great responsibles, credible leaders and managers, backing by advanced experts, will organize positive analyses and appropriate solutions to tackle definitively these key issues, challenges and problems, in all regions and groups in sustainable societies. When the critical mass for positive change is established, the negative and toxic persons or groups will be isolated, downsized and neutralized, for a long period.

Worth listening to Lt. General ( Ret.) Keith Kellogg, the newly appointed assistant to the president and special envoy for Ukraine and Russia in conversation with my colleague Dan Negrea of the Global Tech Security Commission and the Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy at Purdue. The conversation includes: - the fracturing of the world into the free world, authoritarian, and non-aligned blocs; -geopolitics trumping geoeconomics; - promoting a #freedom-based economic model for developing countries; - the dangerous current geostrategic environment; -others. https://lnkd.in/eNJzvqpC

Introducing our new Maritime GENIE cohort (3/11) 🎉 YCAPS, in partnership with the East-West Center, is excited to announce the outstanding individuals selected for the second cohort of the Maritime GENIE (Governance Expanded Network for Innovation and Education) program. This dynamic group of emerging scholars, hailing from multiple countries, brings diverse perspectives and fresh ideas to enhance maritime governance across the Indo-Pacific region. Over the next year, participants will engage in a series of online and in-person workshops designed to strengthen their skills in policy development, leadership, and innovation. A key highlight of the program is a workshop in Yokosuka, Japan, where participants will take part in hands-on activities, site visits, and collaborative exercises. Upon completion of the program, each participant will publish a practical briefing aimed at informing policymakers and key maritime stakeholders. Let’s introduce the new cohort members: Paul Chamberlain (Canada) Mr. Paul Chamberlain is a PhD candidate at The Australian National University, in the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre and Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs.

Publication 📝 One of the most noteworthy publications i have read this year is Brent Sadler's latest book, 𝐔.𝐒. 𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 21𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐲: 𝐀 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 . As an avid reader of Sadler's work on the The Heritage Foundation, I was particularly interested in exploring his concept of "Naval Statecraft" and found myself thoroughly engaged in deciphering its nuances throughout the course of chapters. I have penned down my detailed review of Sadler's book for the current issue of 𝐏𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝐍𝐚𝐯y 𝐖𝐚𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞'𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐨𝐧 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 ( 𝐇𝐄𝐂 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝). From a researcher's perspective, i can deduce that book should be read by scholars of International Relations and security studies concerned with maritime affairs, particularly naval warfare. Brent D. Sadler, with more than two decades of active naval experience, provides readers with an overview of the challenges facing the US Navy from Russia and China. The book's content, explanatory and instructive in nature, does not shy away from being laden with data and previous research literature, which is helpful for researchers in connecting the dots regarding American Naval Planning. The book offers critical insights into Naval organizational reform schemes that have been carried out , as well as the author's own perspective on how the US can synergize its naval strategy to address imminent challenges. What distinguishes U.S. Naval Power in the 21st Century from other works on Naval strategy is Sadler’s ability to interconnect non-traditional security domains with naval affairs. He adeptly simplifies the complexities of naval statecraft, making the technical aspects accessible even to novice readers while offering a thorough analysis for experts.
