Rethinking Risk in National Security

Focusing on the intersection of risk management and national security, this book analyzes the lessons learned from the 2007-2008 financial crisis. It highlights how traditional approaches to risk failed due to human factors like cognitive biases and groupthink, which led to excessive risk-taking. The author argues that while risk management is increasingly emphasized in national security planning, it may be adopting a discredited discipline. Insights are provided for both practitioners and scholars, making it relevant across various fields.
