RAND reposted this
I am thrilled to share my academic journal article "Access Denied? Non-Aligned State Decisions to Grant Access During War" which was just published in the Texas National Security Review. The article draws in part on in-person archival research I was lucky to do at the British National Archives. (I dug through dusty folders of old letters and telegrams from generals so you don’t have to!)
Congrats Emily! So exciting this is finally published!
nice work, Emily!
What will define the next 75 years of the Western alliance? Before last week's summit, we asked 30 RAND researchers about the major challenges facing NATO today—and what opportunities the alliance could seize to help secure its future. Here's what our experts said.
The attempted assassination of former President Trump raises concerns about possible copycat, opportunistic, or retaliatory attacks on public figures—and on the public. The best way to defend against such attacks is to prevent them, says RAND's John Hollywood. When our experts examined data on 325 mass attacks that were prevented, almost two-thirds were foiled by a tip from the public.
Around 5% of Californians are unbanked. Nearly 14% are underbanked. Our new report assesses the feasibility of the CalAccount Program, which would seek to facilitate basic financial transactions for unbanked and underbanked Californians.
Gen. Hinote’s distinguished career in the Air Force spanned 30 years. This is the caliber of professor you can expect if you apply to the Pardee RAND Graduate School's new Master of National Security Policy program: https://bit.ly/3WrNA7p

Please forward to developing leaders in your network ANNOUNCING AN EXCITING NEW OPPORTUNITY! We have tough national security problems. We need tough problem-solvers. What we really need are leaders who can guide problem-solving teams, bringing together analytical skills from multiple disciplines, critical thinking, bold leadership, human empathy, and deep knowledge of the environment. If this sounds like something that excites you, RAND is offering a new opportunity… For over 75 years, RAND has developed respected national security leaders and tackled our toughest problems. To build on that legacy, the RAND Graduate School is launching a new Master of National Security Policy program at our D.C.-area campus, focusing on the tools of defense policy analysis. Classes start 26 September, with full- and part-time options available. Generous scholarships are also available. I cannot wait to serve as one of the professors. Nothing excites me more than the opportunity to help leaders develop skills for solving our most challenging problems. Together, we are going to take RAND’s legacy to the next level as we build the national security leaders of tomorrow. Maybe that includes you!

The "language of catastrophe" is being filtered out in the process of writing Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessments. RAND's Benjamin Preston explains why the IPCC's next report needs to define what constitutes a catastrophic or existential risk or provide a framework for interpreting this information for decisionmakers.
Belarus and Russia are aligned in many respects. They share political, economic, defense industrial, and military ties that are codified in multiple agreements. But while Russia views Belarus as a "brotherly nation" that defers to Moscow, the Belarusian government and people see themselves as sovereign, distinct from Russia. Our new report examines areas of convergence and divergence and explores the impact of the Belarus-Russia relationship on the security of neighboring countries.
Water and electricity. Medical care. Emergency response. These are among dozens of core services expected to face disruptions in the years to come. RAND experts have been working to anticipate how climate change will strain the basic functions underpinning American society. ⤵️
A new agreement between Russia and North Korea involves a mutual defense commitment and military-technical cooperation. RAND's Bruce Bennett discusses.
Only one-third of outpatient community mental health facilities in 20 states with the highest opioid-related overdose deaths offer medication treatment for opioid use disorders. This suggests that efforts may be needed to strengthen such services.
Congratulations! So cool that you got to do some real hands-on research!
