In it, he discusses the phenomenon where developing countries ironically end up worse off after experiences a resource boom. Holland argues that the best way to combat this involves a collaborate effort with the government, companies, and civil society to increase transparency. By doing so, the rewards of resources can be efficiently and fairly shared. Click here for more.

General Norman Seip, USAF (Ret.)

Lt. General Seip has been an active member of ASP's Consensus for American Security and regular participant on the National Security and Climate Change Tour in recent years. Click here for more. (http://www.americansecurityproject.org/lt-general-norman-seip-usaf-ret-joins-asp-board-of-directors/) Upcoming Events Climate Change: Risks for National Security (http://www.americansecurityproject.org/event/climate-change-risks-for-national-security/) Today, the U.S. Navy is preparing for an open Arctic, the Marines are deploying in response to historic typhoons, and the Army is preparing its bases to use less energy than they produce. Climate change is already a major consideration for US military planners. Meanwhile, American politicians continue to ignore the issue. Join us for a discussion as ASP highlights stops from our two year national tour and the steps being taken by the US military and other agencies to prepare for the impacts of climate change to national security.

The iconic city of love once again found itself at the main stage of international terrorism. President Francois Hollande addressed a joint session of both houses of parliament in Versailles on Monday, November 16th. He did not mince words: ‘France is at war’. An unexpected move followed, the French President announced that his country for the first time in history intended to invoke article 42.7 of the EU Lisbon Treaty – the EU Common Defense and Security Policy. This move gives us an interesting insight into France’s foreign policy strategy. Climate Change, Paris, the rise of ISIS, and What "Causes" Terrorism (http://www.americansecurityproject.org/climate-change-paris-the-rise-of-isis-and-what-causes-terrorism/) Andrew Holland Over the past few days, there have been a number of discussion in the press around the country and around the world on the links between climate change and terrorism. Let us be clear – no act of terror is due to climate change, but climate change has helped to create the conditions from which terrorist groups can plot and plan. The Relationship Between Climate Change and Terrorism: Reigniting the Debate (http://www.americansecurityproject.org/the-relationship-between-climate-change-and-terrorism-reigniting-the-debate/) Anil Powers E&E published an article about the relationship between climate change and terrorism. In it, E&E reporter Jean Chemnick discussed the “rekindling of an old feud” regarding the dangers of climate change, renewed partisan pushback, and policy strategies. Want America to Remain Exceptional? Try Leading on Climate Change (http://www.americansecurityproject.org/want-america-to-remain-exceptional-try-leading-on-climate-change/) American Security Project It is time to realize that even if you believe that climate change is only possible, we have a responsibility as the greatest country in the world to do something about it. Not just because we are one of the largest causes of this risk, and not just because we have the resources to do something about it, and not just because climate change could really harm the United States and our personal interests. GMOs Play a key Role in Climate and national Security (http://americansecurityproject.us2.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=2768ea8e53da1b3ff17fb6a6f&id=80e4d9f7bb&e=91343f06e6) Ricky Gandhi Climate change has had notable impacts on our environment and national security, serving as a “threat multiplier,” according to the Department of Defense. The argument goes that climate change can exacerbate existing conflict by making already-scarce resources ever scarcer, such as land and water. Nuclear Security Improving the Relationship Between the U.S. and Iran with Ambassador Thomas Pickering (http://www.americansecurityproject.org/improving-the-relationship-between-the-u-s-and-iran-with-ambassador-thomas-pickering/) Sam Hickey On Monday November 2, 2015, Ambassador Thomas Pickering visited American University to address Improving the Relationship Between the U.S. and Iran. Ambassador Pickering has served as Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Russia, India, Israel, Nigeria, Jordan and El Salvador. He has also served as Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Oceans, Environmental and Scientific Affairs and as Special Assistant to Secretaries of State William P. Rogers and Henry A. Kissinger American Competitiveness As it Faces a Commodity Slump, Africa Needs a People-Centered Economy (http://www.americansecurityproject.org/as-it-faces-a-commodity-slump-africa-needs-a-people-centered-economy/) John Bugnacki After a decade of unprecedented growth, African economies appear to be in trouble. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is now forecasting an expansion of only 3.75% for the region during this year, down from 0.5% during 2014, and the economy of the southern African state of Zambia is among the worst affected. Public Diplomacy What Constitutes Credibility in U.S. Public Diplomacy (http://www.americansecurityproject.org/what-constitutes-credibility-in-us-public-diplomacy/) Matthew Wallin As discussion ensues over how to combat ISIS online or counter Russian propaganda, it’s worth taking a look at the elements that lend to credible messaging. The importance of credibility cannot be underestimated, as it provides the initial basis by which members of a target audience decide to listen to one’s message in the first place. Fusion Energy The Weekly Fusion: A Look at Current Advancements in Fusion Energy (http://www.americansecurityproject.org/the-weekly-fusion-a-look-at-current-advancements-in-fusion-energy-7/) Ricky Gandhi The future of fusion energy is constantly being unfolded in front of our eyes, as every week there is some breakthrough in new technologies and designs in the nuclear fusion sector of energy. Since there is such a wealth of information, I have gathered and consolidated a list of articles geared toward the advancement of making fusion energy a reality, from within the past week. National Security Strategy Unlocking the Secrets of Cyber Hazards (http://www.americansecurityproject.org/unlocking-the-secrets-of-cyber-hazards/) SIGNAL Magazine Security products are like crack to security professionals - they just cannot get enough. These products appear to be the panacea practitioners are seeking, but often are not what they seem. They do not always solve problems, and they leave security experts continually looking for yet more new products, solutions, and techniques for managing cyber risk. This raises the question: Why do enterprises and government organizations find protecting themselves from cyber crime so difficult? Developing an Effective Anti-ISIS Strategy (http://www.americansecurityproject.org/developing-an-effective-anti-isis-strategy/) Matthew Wallin The recent terror attacks in Paris have created renewed demand to develop a real strategy for defeating ISIS. From Beirut to the Metrojet over the Sinai, these attacks show spillover from the Syrian Civil War that threatens the livelihood of people far beyond Syria's borders.
