POLICY ENGAGEMENT
I am involved in a range of policy initiatives related to outer space security. Details can be found on my Policy Engagement page.
US LANDMINE POLICY
Naomi Egel and I published an analysis in Just Security that makes the case for the enduring significance of the antipersonnel mine ban norm in US policy. This short piece is something of a follow-up to my previous article on the same subject. In June 2022, Dr. Egel and I recorded a short podcast reacting to the Biden administration’s announcement of a new US antipersonnel mine policy.
