Annual Conferences
Each year, TISS hosts a major event whose themes reflect the crucial security concerns of the day. This is typically a two-day conference. Over the last few years we have discussed the following themes:Public Opinion and Foreign Policy (Spring 1998); Conflict in Africa (Spring 1999); Transnational Threats (Spring 2000); The Rise of China (Spring 2001); Terrorism (Spring 2002); American Media and Wartime Challenges (Spring 2003); Strategic Deception (Ethical, Legal, and Policy Challenges (Fall 2003); Wielding American Power (Spring 2004); Casualties and Warfare (Spring 2006); National Security Implications of Global Climate Change (Spring 2007). In 2008 TISS brought in two major speakers to discuss Global Security Challenges (Fall and Spring 2008). TISS also cosponsors conferences organized by other institutions in the Triangle. Reports of these conferences can be found in the annual newsletters. Some of the proceedings have been published and some are available online.
