This episode of The Indispensable Conversation features Michael Mazarr. If you’re unfamiliar with Mike, he is Senior Political Scientist at RAND Corporation. A self-defined generalist, Mike has spent substantial time on issues including arms control, U.S. defense policy (force posture, doctrine, etc.), decision-making theory, Korean Peninsula security, and most recently South Asia. It’s this distinctive background that makes him the perfect guest to tackle this question with me: “Does a nation’s competitive success simply come down to military and economic might?” The question is vitally important for top leaders to contemplate, right now, as they continue to be challenged to place their bets today for continued success in an uncertain tomorrow.
