Description

Join us on Tuesday, May 27th at 5:30 pm with Ambassador Robert M. Kimmitt for dinner and a lecture on “Defining National Security”. 

The term “national security” is used frequently, but its definition has evolved significantly since the National Security Council was created in 1947. During the Cold War, national security was defined predominantly by the diplomatic and military dimensions of the struggle against the Soviet Union, Warsaw Pact nations, and other Communist regimes. When the Cold War ended, economic and financial considerations began to play a more important role. Our guest, Ambassador Robert Kimmitt, has held a variety of positions at the intersection of international business, finance, and public policy. In his remarks he discusses how we must be versed in both traditional political-military as well as emerging financial topics and concepts to understand U.S. national security policy.
