Failing and post-conflict states pose one of the greatest national and international security challenges of current times Failing and post-conflict states pose one of the greatest national and international security challenges of current times. As operations in Iraq began it became evident that a large part of the mission in this region would be focused on reconstruction and stabilization efforts. Today these efforts are coming to an end in Iraq with the focus shifting to key infrastructure and capacity building; however other nations around the globe still continue to pose a threat to national and international security.
The marcus evans 4th Annual Reconstruction and Stabilization Conference will focus on security, stability and reconstruction operations that are now being worked into the ongoing planning and strategy of the US government. This conference will discuss the integration of all relevant United States Government resources and assets in conducting reconstruction and stabilization operations in some of the critical priority countries including Afghanistan, Pakistan and the African nations. It will also focus on the building of security and law enforcement structures that are often a prerequisite for restoring order and ensuring success.
There will be two panel workshop discussions. The first one is entitled “Interagency Co-operation and Integration” which will examine information sharing and partnership capabilities. The second workshop is entitled “Understanding the Intersection of Development, Defense and Diplomacy of the National Security Policy”. This will consider the joint approach of the 3 D’s and a consideration of the strategy of the new administration.
