Presented by the Arnold A. Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies (SIWPS), the Institute of Global Politics (IGP), the Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy (ISERP), and the Public Interest Declassification Board (PIDB).
Named in honor of one of the modern era’s most significant international relations scholars, the Conference in Honor of Robert Jervis is Columbia’s premier international security event. This year’s conference will address the need for reform of America’s system for protecting state secrets. In cooperation with the bipartisan Public Interest Declassification Board, we are bringing together constitutional experts, journalists, members of the intelligence community, the tech community, and academics to debate and discuss the system of protecting sensitive security information and ensuring the public’s right to know what officials do in their name.
CSER's Director, Matthew Connelly will be moderating the roundtable 'Reflections on What We Have Learned' at 4:15pm-4:45pm.
