🔴 Live now on Betting on America: Standards and Statecraft, with @lelocascio
Laurie E. Locascio, Ph.D. NAE, president and CEO of @ansidotorg and former director of @NIST, makes the case that sustaining U.S. standards leadership requires playing the long game.
Standards are increasingly central to the modern economy, and China and other countries are ratcheting up efforts to shape them. Dr. Locascio argues that the U.S. government should incentivize companies to pursue long-term standards goals and ensure that the best U.S. technical diplomats have seats at the tables where global standards are set.

NEW REPORT:
Russia and China are unlikely to abandon their nuclear modernization and expansion programs due to domestic factors and long-standing distrust of the United States. Furthermore, Both Moscow and Beijing view advances in missile defense, such as Golden Dome, as particularly escalatory. What does this mean for US posture? What forms of risk reduction are most viable?
PONI's "Risks of Racing: Russian and Chinese Perceptions of Strategic Competition in the Euro-Atlantic Region" answers these questions and more.
