Global & National Security Policy Institute
The Global & National Security Policy Institute (GNSPI) brings together global and national security-related courses, research, and programs at the University of New Mexico in a coherent whole under one umbrella to serve the entire institution—students and faculty—across its several campuses.
GNSPI's mission is to improve global & national security policy by:
- Educating practitioners (and aspiring practitioners) to navigate an uncertain security future, and
- Shaping the debate around pressing security issues in four focus areas:
- Critical & Emerging Technology Policy
- National Security Policy and Strategy
- Intelligence Analysis
- Transnational Security Policy.
GNSPI achieves its mission via four lines of effort:
- Education, through our formal undergraduate and graduate programs but also through the informal GNSPI Fellowship and public engagement;
- Professional Development, through career fairs, talks by experienced practitioners, and career-prep sessions;
- Research & Engagement, through our Security Speaker Serier, the Annual Symposium, and the GNSPI Fellows Program;
- Building Community, through alumni networking, public events, and celebrations for semester kick-off and graduations.
