International Security Policy

… guidelines and strategies developed to address the security challenges and implications arising from emerging technologies. 


OADII acknowledges the complexity of global security challenges, emphasizing cohesive strategies and actionable policy recommendations. Amid geopolitical rivalries, emerging technologies, climate change, and pandemics, OADII integrates technology into policy frameworks, empowering decision-makers. Strategic partnerships accelerate innovation, supporting national security strategies and facilitating dialogue between Oklahoma companies and policymakers. Committed to addressing pressing security challenges, OADII remains responsive to an ever-evolving world where the policy that governs technology is as vital as the technology itself.

In navigating the complex landscape of global security challenges, OADII recognizes the imperative of cohesive strategies bolstered by actionable policy recommendations. With the resurgence of near-peer geopolitical rivalries, the disruptive influence of emerging technologies, the specter of climate change, and the ongoing threat of pandemics, the world faces pressing issues demanding innovative approaches grounded in rigorous research. In this context, fostering a stable, rules-based international order and reaffirming American global leadership are paramount objectives. 

At OADII, we bridge the gap between technological prowess and international security policy expertise to produce cutting-edge research of global significance. Our interdisciplinary approach ensures that advancements in technology are seamlessly integrated into policy frameworks, equipping decision-makers with the foresight and agility to navigate rapidly evolving threats and opportunities. By fostering collaboration across disciplines, we facilitate the development of resilient systems capable of addressing the multifaceted challenges of the modern world. 

As a catalyst for innovation, OADII propels American national security strategy forward by cultivating agility and outpacing peer competitors through a network of strategic partnerships spanning government, industry, and civil society. We extend our expertise to support state and local governments in fulfilling their crucial role in maintaining a safe and prosperous environment. 

Additionally, we facilitate dialogue between Oklahoma-based companies and national policy stakeholders, empowering them to capitalize on opportunities within the defense and security sector. 

By leveraging the collective talent and resources of our university and our extensive network of partners, OADII stands at the forefront of 21st-century policy development.
