CTC non-resident fellow Dr. Scott Helfstein addressed an interagency audience at a National Defense University conference entitled “Beyond Convergence: A World Without Order.” The event focused on the evolving relationships between transnational threats, nation states, and global security. Drawing upon work undertaken at CTC, Dr. Helfstein discussed state sponsored crime, the intersection of terrorists and criminal elements, and most importantly how the dense global network of illicit actors serves as a force multiplier for sub-state transnational adversaries.
