Format
Short presentation followed by Q&A.
Background
The growing complexity of today’s international security landscape—combined with the increasing frequency of crises and conflicts—often obscures the broader picture. Media coverage tends to focus on daily (often dramatic) developments, making it difficult to grasp long-term trends and implications.
Drawing on his expertise across a wide range of security issues—including nuclear deterrence, negotiations with Iran, NATO, and Nordic security challenges—Prof. Miller will provide insights into the nature and consequences of current U.S. foreign policy and security issues.
