Arlington, VA — The National Security Institute (NSI) at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School today launched a new flagship podcast, Coffee & Conflict. Hosted by Joshua Huminski, NSI Senior Fellow and Senior Vice President for National Security and Intelligence Programs at the Center for the Study of the Presidency & Congress, Coffee & Conflict features the authors of newly released books on national security, defense strategy, security policy, and intelligence. Each bi-weekly episode focuses on leading expert authors providing in-depth insights into their books and the pressing issues they address.
The first episode features Dmitri Alperovitch, NSI Advisory Board member and Chairman and Co-Founder of the Silverado Policy Accelerator, discussing his recently released book, World on the Brink: How America Can Beat China in the Race for the Twenty-First Century. In World on the Brink, Alperovitch argues that the U.S. is already in a new Cold War with China, with Taiwan as a potential flashpoint. He outlines a strategy to deter conflict while ensuring America’s primacy against a rising China.
“The Coffee & Conflict podcast provides a unique platform for in-depth conversations on the critical issues shaping our national security landscape today,” said Jamil N. Jaffer, NSI Founder and Executive Director. “By engaging with expert authors, NSI Senior Fellow Joshua Huminski will help foster meaningful dialogue and provide our listeners with fresh insights into the challenges we face and the strategies we can pursue to safeguard our nation’s future.”
