Explore the complex dynamics of contemporary global politics with renowned author George S. Takach at our upcoming NPSIA Seminar Series. Uncover the nuances of the China-Russia-
West relationship, moving beyond simplistic labels of “rivalry” or “great-power competition.” Takach’s latest work, “Cold War 2.0,” delves into meticulously researched insights that shed light on the geopolitical challenges of our time.
“Cold War 2.0” scrutinizes the role of artificial intelligence, military coordination, missile defense systems, advanced semiconductor chips, quantum computers, and bio-engineering in shaping the conflict between democracy and autocracy. Join us to gain a deep understanding of how these innovations will define the course of the new Cold War and learn from Takach’s precise blueprint on how Western democracies can navigate these challenges to ultimately triumph over the looming threat of autocracy.
Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with one of the foremost experts on the subject and unravel the intricacies of our modern geopolitical landscape
