About The Future Security Initiative (FSI)
Â
The FSI is a partnership between Arizona State University, a top-ranked public research university defined not by who we exclude but who we include, and New America, a nimble nonpartisan DC-based think tank with a history of launching big ideas that impact policy. Together, we have assembled a growing team of academics, journalists, former military, and civil society experts as ASU faculty and New America fellows. We conduct ground-breaking research linking open-source investigations, field-based research, policy analysis and case studies to develop new approaches to pressing security issues. We also create unique educational programming, from an online professional MA in Global Security to certificates in competitive statecraft, irregular warfare, cybersecurity, and customizable programs linking cutting edge academic research with practical applications. We also present multiple public forums, live-streamed talks, podcasts, and high-impact publications that reach multiple audiences, including government officials, national thought leaders, students, and members of our local communities.
