The "Frontiers in International Security" workshop hosted by the Department of Political Science features short presentations from 10 early career scholars who are doing exciting research on a wide range of security-related topics. Duke faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students will provide comments. Some interesting questions that presenters will speak to include:
•Does decline in national power influence a state's ability to make credible threats?
•Are AI models deployed across national security contexts biased in their assessments of political violence?
•Does real-time news about U.S. foreign policy decisions affect global public support for cooperation with the United States?
•Why do states and their citizens often fight over barren, seemingly worthless territories while not fighting over territories or issues that can be potentially more valuable?
The workshop will run from 9:00am-4:15pm in Gross Hall 270. Breakfast (8:30-9:00) and lunch (12:15-1:00) are available to registered participants.
