    Beyond the Torch: Ensuring Safety at the 2024 Olympics

    Beyond the Torch: Ensuring Safety at the 2024 Olympics

    The 2024 Olympics are less than three months away, and the international context is as tense as ever.  Terrorism, lone wolves, and cyber attacks are just some of the many security concerns for such a large, international sports event. When discussing security in the Olympics, it is inevitable to think about the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich. On that occasion, 11 Israeli athletes and coaches, and a West German police officer were killed by Palestinian Black September terrorists. More than 50 years later, the Israeli-Palestinian issue is again at the center of the global stage, along with the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. In this episode, Victoire Tissinié and Siddesh Shimpukade join Arnold Koch to help us explore the intelligence failures of the past, the lessons learned, and what threats to watch for the upcoming 2024 Olympics.

    Crossing Lines: North Korea's New Stance on Reunification

    Crossing Lines: North Korea's New Stance on Reunification

    North Korea’s policy-making is an ambiguous and shady domain. Little information on the domestic reality of the country filters to the outside world, but the impacts of Pyongyang’s foreign policy on regional - and global - security need to be uncovered. In early 2024, North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un, announced that the objective of “reunification” with South Korea is no longer considered possible. More than 70 years after the end of the Korean war in 1953, which formally divided the two states, a significant shift in the North’s policies towards the South could have a wider meaning for the region. In this episode, Samuel Pearson and Siddesh Shimpukade join Arnold Koch to provide us with a deeper understanding of the hidden nuances of the Korean peninsula’s security dynamics, with an eye to the potential threats of tomorrow.
