How should policymakers categorize and analyze these changes? How does the government try to mitigate the threats posed by these shifting factors, and is that the best way forward? Through advanced seminars and a policy simulation, we will explore what strategy is, how the U.S. government tries to create strategies, and how that influences America’s geopolitical rivalries.Preview of SeminarsIs there an American Grand Strategy?Case Study: the Cold WarMaking and Actuating Strategy: US vs. the PRCThe Hudson Institute Political Studies Policy Certificate Program gathers talented early career professionals for advanced study of American foreign and domestic policy, and national security led by policy experts and experienced government officials.Successful policy solutions combine strategic vision with nuanced understanding of complex problems.
