< Back "The First Political Order: How Sex Shapes Governance and National Security Worldwide" Dr. Valerie M. Hudson Women are involved with every single human endeavor, from Governance to business to radiological studies to weapons development, but they are not always recognized as such. Dr. Hudson's book describes the near universal and systematic subordination and alienation of women in institutions across the world, and the subsequent implications for security, governance and development.

< Back “Black Swans and Pink Flamingoes: Five Principles for Force Design” Frank Hoffman Over generations of American military planning, Frank Hoffman assesses that the record of foreseeing the location, nature and requirements of the next war have been dismal. As a result, he suggests, American planning techniques must fundamentally change to account for incorrect prediction and leave open to the United States a range of flexible avenues and responses to meet the needs of tomorrow’s crisis. https://www.linkedin.com/in/frank-hoffman-bb65407/ https://www.fpri.org/article/2015/08/black-swans-and-pink-flamingos-five-principles-for-force-design/ https://warontherocks.com/2015/08/black-swans-and-pink-flamingos-five-principles-for-force-design/ Previous Next
