TPI takes bipartisan security simulation to Capitol Hill
A national security simulation developed with the Institute of Politics and Global Affairs, taken to Congress in July.
What happens in the Arctic doesn't stay in the Arctic, especially as climate change, nuclear deterrence, dual-use technologies, and renewed great power competition converge to reshape the region's strategic importance.
In response to this growing complexity, members of the institute have been working in partnership with the Institute of Politics and Global Affairs to develop a national security simulation to help policymakers confront emerging Arctic challenges.
On July 14th the team took this bipartisan simulation to Capitol Hill and engaged in broader meetings with Danish and Greenlandic diplomats on Arctic security. While stormy Washington weather delayed the exercise, its aim was to mirror real-world dilemmas, encouraging members of Congress to test policies and strategies and build resilience in the face of great power rivalry.
A special thanks to Non-Resident Senior Fellows Paul Lushenko and Keith Carter, and to fellows Elizabeth Redmond and Kayla Schechter, for the months of work that went into researching and planning the simulation. Thanks also to Alexandra Gier and the IOPGA team for their organisational leadership.
