April 2007: National Security Working Group Meeting

On April 21, 2007, the National Security working group convened to explore a series of questions that will drive the initiative forward:

• What should the national security research agenda be?
• What theories are missing from the field?
• What are concrete steps or projects the group can undertake?

To ground the discussion, a group of scholars presented short, idea-generating papers.
