Assessing Risk in the 21st Century

With the U.S. defense strategy review underway, leaders in the Department of Defense must address a complex question: how should the Pentagon adapt its framework for assessing risk to reflect a security environment defined by persistent, disruptive change?  

In partnership with the U.S. Army War College, the CSIS International Security Program will host a conversation on strategic and military risk, providing a range of perspectives to examine challenges, opportunities, and recommendations for assessing risk in the contemporary security environment. The discussion will also feature findings from a U.S. Army War College study on assessing corporate-level risk in the Department of Defense enterprise.
