Risk management has transformed how banks, corporations, and public agencies operate in the past decade. Global financial institutions cannot function without these systems. NASA and the Centers for Disease Control have restructured their programs around risk management strategies. Yet national security policy remains untouched by this revolution. Bremmer assembles risk management experts from various industries alongside leading national security scholars to bridge this gap. The contributors investigate whether proven risk assessment and management methods can tackle modern national security threats. They explore how techniques that work in corporate boardrooms and government agencies might apply to protecting nations. The book examines the potential for systematic risk analysis to replace intuition and tradition in security planning. This collaboration between practitioners and academics produces the first comprehensive study of risk applications in national security contexts.
