Navigating Strategic Competition
Featuring Former Congressman Mark Kennedy
America and its allies are in strategic competition with nations seeking to tilt global norms in favor of authoritarian regimes. With their future prosperity and security at stake, this competition is playing out across many domains – global governance, alliances, technology, military, economic, supply chain, energy, trade, and development aid. To succeed in preserving the rules based international order and effectively deterring aggression, America must work in a coordinated manner with its allies to engage in each domain in a strategic and deliberate manner.
Mark Kennedy, former U.S. Congressman and Macy’s executive, President Emeritus of the University of Colorado and now Public Policy Fellow at the Wilson Center and a US Air and Space Forces Civic Leader supporting the Secretary of the Air Force, considers the actions America must take to stay a step ahead in strategic competition.
