whole series was a work that we recently published in the european journal of international relations that talks about the use of war gaming for data collection for looking at data and for thinking about how we and put together policies and then how we use social science to help inspire our war game design and analysis. so we hope you can join us for all three of the the webinars. and this first one we re gonna be focusing on wargaming as a historical tool as an archive and as data and our second series which will be moderated by eric lynn greenberg is going to be looking more at can working design and how social science and approaches or can be used and when it comes to war game design and analysis. and then our final serial final of the series i get to host and it ll be with and some of our great folks have been working on these issues in national security and we ll bridge the gap about how some of the lessons that we ve taken from social science might be applied or not app
Policy. It was emerrill rogers not that long ago said just as much as that, that we dont have a good cyber offensive policy. We talked about it ad infinitum in classified settings for the entire ten years i was on the Intelligence Community and we could never get consensus to move to the next place on what that cyber offensive is. And by the way just as a personal note i just saw that the Administration Says theyre going to make china pay for the consequence of the opm hack. I cant wait. I cannot wait to see what the heck that thing is. And candidly im not too excited about what its going to be. We havent crossed that threshold to bring everybody in a room and try to work through this problem. I would long answer to your question, but i dont believe they have the right to go extraterritorial to protect what they perceive to be a threat at that point. Thats fantastic. Thank you, thank you so much. We can get a hand for the speakers. Thats just great. You can see how we can make many hou
Maps, it seems as if china would never accept a unified korea that was democratic because that would encroach on their projection outward. Also in the future, if you would please say to whom your question is directed. I think theres a consistency in chinas approaches to both south korea and taiwan that is quite evident. Mr. Giarra china doesnt have the kind of claim that it makes regarding taiwan with south korea, but it is quite clear that it will control the Korean Peninsula one way or the other, so i think theres a consistency thats quite evident in chinese policies, actions, capabilities. I think theres a direct relationship and its historic. Mao was convinced not to invade taiwan in 1949 because of a bribe from stalin. A very good bribe, but the goal to take taiwan has remained. And now, north korea has become a nucleararmed proxy for china to influence the actions of the United States, japan, and in my opinion, for china to use to create favorable scenarios that may assist the in
Necessarily conceived as such, or did he . I guess this is a big source of contention. What did reagan really intend to achieve with this pursuit of sdi . Guest he intended to protect the United States against incoming Ballistic Missiles house of representatives and it becomes much more, becomes this really big source of discussion during these two days. Im just interested to learn some the details and to really get a sense in your book of the kind of granular back and forth. Guest without cutting them up too much although were here to tout the book, the chapters three, four and five go back and forth with what these two men are discussing. What you do is you see them raw. You see them by themselves but you see them with their real views. Host how may people in the room with them . Guest there are the two of them, the two Foreign Ministers who dont participate much at all. There are two notetakers, thank god, right in what they say. One rushing from one american, and they by and large
I dont know. And the reason im thinking, you know, the comparison that would make that point best is saudi arabia, qatar, right . I mean, qatars a very interesting place in the sense that it has no citizens, right . I think its about 275,000 now, everybody else is an expat. All there is is money, and there has been extremely effective use of that money and qatari diplomacy. And if you compare sort of the last ten years of diplomacy, aljazeera, qatari use of money with the saudis, you would absolutely conclude they punch below their weight. But if you compare to iran, you know, iran has roughly three times the population of saudi arabia, and the percentage of the population that is in a sense involved in the life of the country, that is, for example, has a decent education, are professionals, women who are active in some way in the economy, iran is a much more, much more modern country than saudi arabia. And it isnt surprising in a way that the saudis would have a very hard time taking
