@siecenter.bsky.social
The Sié Chéou-Kang Center at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver advances knowledge and practice around global security, prosperity, and social justice.
We’re back from our summer holidays to prepare for the upcoming school year to start in September—and what better way to bring some “back-to-school” energy than to spotlight our very own Dr. George DeMartino and his recent feature on The Hale Report podcast! 📉🎙️📈

PUBLICATION DAY ‼️📚

OK, this book is a GAME CHANGER!

Many scholars “Bridge the Gap" and brief policymakers, and many policymakers seek out research and evidence…

There was no concrete ethical guidance on how to do this… UNTIL NOW!
