Volume 9, No. 3, Special Issue Fall 2016: Emerging Threats

Introduction

In security studies, as in every other discipline, we are most often wise after the event, alerted to new challenges only after they have become manifest. The newly-established Initiative for the Study of Emerging Threats (ISET) at New York University's School of Professional Studies Center for Global Affairs represents a new venture intended to explore the security implications of today's and also tomorrow's geopolitical, technological, economic, and social developments. The Journal of Strategic Security is likewise committed to the forward-looking study of the security environment, and so this special issue is comprised of articles written by scholars from the Center for Global Affairs and curated by NYU Professor Mary Beth Altier.
