0:00:00 — Panel 2: Emerging Technologies and Statecraft
Tuesday, May 11, 2021 at 1:00 pm ET

This panel will consider the ways in which emerging technologies are shaping interstate interactions across the spectrum short of kinetic action, from statecraft and diplomacy to information operations, and more. Which elements of emerging technologies are driving cooperative behaviors, and which are driving competitive behaviors? Are emerging technologies increasing the risks of misperception and miscalculation or contributing to deterrence? How successful have efforts been to establish laws or norms governing the use of emerging technologies? Does the emergence of these technologies suggest a need to restructure the national security apparatus and the responsibilities assigned to different bureaucracies? How does emerging technology impact the relationship between states and non-state actors, like private sector companies?

1:00:13 — Panel 3: Janne Nolan Prize Winners: Technology in a Changing IR Landscape

In 2020, as part of the Future Strategy Forum, the Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs, in cooperation with CSIS and the Texas National Security Review, offered prizes to the best new scholarship from early career scholars in national and international security.
Winners of the Janne Nolan Prize competition, Dr. Jane Vaynman, Dr. John Emery and Ms. Saher Naumaan will speak on their winning essays to be published this summer in a special edition of the Texas National Security Review. Their articles cover topics ranging from emerging technology, to political-military war gaming, and surveillance issues in the modern era. The conversation will illuminate other technology-driven challenges in national security.

1:57:16 — Closing Keynote: Emerging Technologies and Nuclear Weapons with Rose Gottemoeller
