Security & Defence PLuS First Annual Integrated Deterrence Symposium
On Thursday, 21 November, Security & Defence PLuS will host its first annual Integrated Deterrence Symposium, at Arizona State University (ASU) and online, Deterrence Challenges in the 21st Century: International Partnerships & Emerging Technologies.
In August 2024, General CQ Brown, Jr., the newly appointed Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, emphasised the significance of integrated deterrence in shaping the future of US security policy. He articulated that “integrated deterrence means leveraging all powers of our nation; aligning our policies, investments, and activities; and adapting our efforts to specific competitors as a holistic deterrence strategy.” This one-day symposium will feature keynote speeches and panel discussions with leading subject experts and military leaders, addressing the evolving intellectual and practical challenges of deterrence, as well as the integration of emerging technologies and international partnerships in a competitive global landscape.
