The New Great Game: Power Politics in a Networked Age
MICHAEL BECKLEY, PROFESSOR OF POLITICAL SCIENCE, TUFTS UNIVERSITY | SENIOR FELLOE, AMERICAN ENTERPRICE INSTITUTE | EXPERT ON U.S-CHINA STRATEGY (USA)

 How control of critical networks is reshaping global security 

• Great-power competition is shifting from territorial control to dominance over the networks that move goods, data, energy, and capital

• Authoritarian states are forming a “networked Heartland” by asserting control over supply chains, critical minerals, and digital infrastructure

• In response, the West is building a distributed “Rimland” strategy, linking defense production, cyber capabilities, energy resilience, and industrial strength

• This session outlines a new strategic architecture that fuses military and economic security and the pivotal role defense and technology leaders will play

• A forward-looking analysis of how control over critical systems will define power in the decades to come - and what must be done to stay ahead
