    Ep. 35 - Active Shooter Research

    In this episode of Boardroom Statecraft, we are joined by Dr. Erin Carlin, a researcher at Austin Peay State University whose work examines the dynamics of active shooter incidents across different venue types. The discussion explores how perpetrator motivations, demographics, and target selection vary depending on the environment being attacked, and why these distinctions matter for corporate security professionals, intelligence analysts, and risk managers. Dr. Carlin explains how her research team has analysed hundreds of incidents to identify patterns that challenge some of the most common assumptions about active shooters. Rather than a single profile, the data reveals distinct behavioural patterns linked to age, personal grievances, and the specific locations perpetrators choose to target.

    Ep. 29 - America the Revisionist Power

    In this episode of Boardroom Statecraft, Ross Hill and Dr Treston Wheat unpack a framing that helps explain why US foreign policy currently feels so disruptive to allies and markets: the United States behaving as a revisionist power. They explore how the post 1945 US role as a stabilising architect of the liberal order is giving way to a more explicitly transactional posture, where Washington engages internationally only on its own terms. The discussion connects this shift to growing pressure on Europe to rebuild defence capacity, to the declining authority of multilateral institutions, and to the way businesses should think about market access, supply chains, and long term strategic planning as the global order fragments.
