On January 22, Forward Defense nonresident senior fellow Neil Narang was interviewed on The State of the World podcast about the evolving nature of war and peace during a period of great power competition, terrorism, nonstate armed groups, rebel organizations and transnational violence.
I think some people would argue that we’re in a tripolar moment instead of a bipolar moment. That is, we have two peer or near-peer competitors. Whereas the Cold War was characterized by a single peer or near-peer competitor.
Forward Defense leads the Atlantic Council’s US and global defense programming, developing actionable recommendations for the United States and its allies and partners to compete, innovate, and navigate the rapidly evolving character of warfare. Through its work on US defense policy and force design, the military applications of advanced technology, space security, strategic deterrence, and defense industrial revitalization, it informs the strategies, policies, and capabilities that the United States will need to deter, and, if necessary, prevail in major-power conflict.
