In April the Georgetown Public Policy Review announced its 2010-2011 edition. In light of the upcoming 10 year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, our staff decided to focus the publication on “National Security in the New Millennium.”
For our headlining interview, Heather Vaughan sat down with Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska. During his Senate career Hagel sat on the Foreign Relations and Intelligence Committees, was a notable critic of the war in Iraq, and is a foremost authority on the nuances of America’s national security policy.
Qursum Qasim interviewed the former U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan, Wendy Chamberlin, to discuss the complicated relationship between our two countries and Middle East policy more broadly.
Ryan Greenfield and Chris Schreck spoke with Dr. Alice Rivlin – whose resume is too long to list – about her work on the President’s National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. They addressed issues of fiscal responsibility at the Department of Defense and economic drain related to the extensive military commitments of the last decade.
Ingrid Stegemoeller spoke with Rudy deLeon, former Deputy Secretary of Defense and accomplished national security policy expert. Their discussion touches on issues ranging from civil liberties in a vigilant national security environment to cyber security. Jim Steiner talks with renowned policy commentator and Washington Post contributor, Steve Clemons, about progress of the last decade, valuable lessons learned, and our future vulnerabilities.
The research in this year’s edition comes from Andrew Eck, who unravels the complications of terrorism finance, and Aditya Dabholkar who writes on clean energy investment partnerships. Further, former Assistant Treasury Secretary (and Georgetown University alumni) Thomas Healey writes an issue highlight on international water scarcity.
Lastly, the Review decided to reserve space in this year’s edition for a recent GPPI graduate to publish. The research chosen for this year was Andrew Rothman’s (MPP ’10) thesis on the relationship between farm share and body mass index in the United States. His work represents some of the very best GPPI has to offer, and we are very proud to include Andrew’s hard work in our publication.
