Great lecture on Thursday by Dr. Simpson on "Self-Determination in the Age of Globalization". Especially interesting was Dr. Simpson's analysis of historical arguments against Self-Determination and the nation-states that succeeded anyway. Missed the lecture? View it here: youtu.be/5xUauBp1ojs

Join us this semester for our CENFAD Speaker series! Each semester, professors and academics speak at CENFAD to our students and professors about their books, current events, or expertise on global events involving the use of force and diplomacy.

With this publication, I conclude my tenure as the 2025-2026 Thomas J. Davis Fellow at the Center for the Study of Force and Diplomacy (CENFAD). I learned a great deal and truly enjoyed every part of it. I hope you enjoy reading it!
