ItemIran Nuclear Deal: Triumph of Diplomacy or Dangerous Precedent?(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-09-09) Carlson, Lonnie ; Garver, John ; Hayes, Jarrod ; Hertel, Nolan E. ; Kosal, Margaret E. ; Rubin, LawrenceThe Nuclear Deal with Iran has generated a lot of buzz over the past several months. But what does it entail? Why are some happy with the deal and others not? What are the risks and rewards for such a deal? If you have asked yourself these questions, or simply want to know more about what the deal means for global politics, then please join faculty from the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs and the School of Nuclear and Radiological Engineering as they discuss the drivers behind the Iran Nuclear Agreement and implications for it moving forward.

ItemExperiences and Observations from Serving as a Senior Advisor to the Chief of Staff of the US Army (CSA)(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-02-26) Kosal, Margaret E.Nunn School Assistant Professor Margaret E. Kosal will share her experiences in policymaking, advising in the Department of Defense, and discuss critical policy issues of relevance to the Georgia Tech community. She will be speaking on her recent experiences and observations from serving as a Senior Advisor to the Chief of Staff of the Army (CSA) as part of his inaugural Strategic Studies Group (SSG) in Washington DC. As part of her experience with the Army, she led research, analysis, and development of new strategic concepts for design and employment of US ground forces and integration across the joint, interagency, inter-governmental and multi-national environments focusing on challenges for 10-25 years in the future. The SSG works exclusively for the CSA, General Ray Odierno, and conducts independent research and analysis to generate strategic and operational concepts for land forces. She was also involved in advising on policy and capabilities related to responding to current threats, including counter-WMD operations.

ItemFaculty Panel Discussion on Syrian Crisis(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-09-16) Kennedy, Bob ; Kosal, Margaret E. ; Jordan, Jenna ; Rubin, Lawrence ; Stulberg, AdamTo intervene or not to intervene: is that the question? What are the strategic, regional, political, and other drivers and consequences of U.S. action amid unfolding events in Syria? Given the recent events surrounding the suspected use of chemical weapons in Syria and contemplation of use of military force, CISTP is hosting a panel discussion on Syrian Crisis, the implications for WMD proliferation and terrorism, and broader security repercussions in the Middle East The purpose of this panel will be to answer questions and to help the audience navigate these difficult policy considerations fostering an informed public debate.

ItemBionanotechnology and Iran(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-10-03) Basandra, Nikita ; Kosal, Margaret E.The paper will explore the international security connections of Iran's bionanotechnology research and development programs, infrastructure, and capabilities emphasizing the biomedical engineering applications. The work seeks to develop models of strategic interaction to assess the prospective implications of the nanotechnology revolution for international conflict and cooperation. Pathways and indicators of bio-nanotechnology research and development, which focuses on the distribution of opportunities and potential to pursue (intent) offensive versus defensive applications will be investigated. This research will integrate traditional social science comparative case study and scenario methodologies with semi-quantitative network analysis and technical security studies analysis. Technically robust scenarios will be used to illustrate the potential malfeasant cooption of nanotechnology. Models to identify and delineate technical and non-technical factors (e.g., structural conditions, norms, institutional capabilities) related to bio-nanotechnology will be explored. How bio-nanotechnology, as a representative emerging technology, reconciles with or challenges the predominant theories explaining the role of technology in defense strategy and current models of state-based WMD proliferation, e.g., balance of power/balance of threat, offense-defense, strategic security, deterrence, and constructivist theories, will also be examined. Inter-disciplinary research and analysis will provide novel systematic insight into the dimensions and significance of nanotechnology for changing the character of conflict and strategic stability in the global system.
