The Gold Institute for International Strategy (GIIS) is pleased to announce our "Future of Strategic Alliances" conference. This topic has taken on heightened importance in light of the on-going conflict in Ukraine, the rising strategic threat from China, how an emboldened Islamic Republic of Iran continues to fuel the Middle East tinder-box, and the persistence of the international terrorist threat.
Since its inception in 2019, the GIIS has prided itself as the leading organization in Washington, DC devoted to key, but poorly understood and underdeveloped aspects of U.S. foreign policy. This includes foremost the two vital topics of professionalizing the crafting and execution of U.S. national security strategy and alliance strategy. Because of this two-pronged focus, it is crucial for the GIIS to devote the upcoming conference to the theme of strategic alliances and partnerships between key counterparts the world over. While the West has, so far, managed a fairly united front regarding these various concerns, many of our assumed allies have taken a more nuanced approach. The GIIS "Future of Strategic Alliances" conference will take that discussion to the next level and provide its participants with invaluable take-away lessons designed for practical implementation.
