Michael Miklaucic, senior fellow of the Institute for National Strategic Studies at National Defense University and editor-in-chief at PRISM, will be a guest speaker on Dec. 6, from 5:15 to 7 p.m., at The Citadel Alumni Center, as he plans to touch on nontraditional threats to national security — and more.
The topics covered during the Wednesday speaking engagement — sponsored by the World Affairs Council of Charleston — will include the "unprecedented challenges" faced by the United States and its allies in a volatile global environment, as stated in a corresponding press release issued by The Citadel.
And while the nation is engaged in a struggle versus "relentless and powerful" adversaries, the report goes on to say, the U.S. must also address nontraditional challenges, such as climate change.
As a visiting lecturer who sits on several academic and professional advisory boards, Miklaucic also served as the Department of State's deputy for War Crimes Issues in 2002-2003, as well as being responsible for U.S. relations with the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL), war crimes issues and negotiations in East Timor and Cambodia, and the early implementation of the Sudan Peace Act.
The Citadel Alumni Center is located at 69 Hagood Ave. For more information, visit www.citadelalumni.org.
