At The Boundary
“At the Boundary” is going to feature global and national strategy insights that we think our fans will want to know about. That could mean live interviews, engagements with distinguished thought leaders, conference highlights, and more. It will pull in a broad array of government, industry, and academic partners, ensuring we don’t produce a dull uniformity of ideas. It will also be a platform to showcase all the great things going on with GNSI, our partners, and USF.
At The Boundary
Addressing Extremism and Reintegration of Former Combatants in the Middle East
Text the ATB Team! We'd love to hear from you!
This week on "At the Boundary," Charles Lister offers expert analysis on countering terrorism and addressing the detainee crisis in the Middle East. Lister’s focus is on the critical issue of reintegrating combatants into their communities once fighting has ceased. Effective reintegration is crucial for preventing the resurgence of extremist groups in these regions.
In this episode, Lister delves into the complexities of the situation in Syria, explores strategies for successful reintegration of former combatants, and highlights the widespread lack of awareness surrounding this crisis.
Charles Lister, a senior Fellow at the Middle East Institute, is the director of MEI’s Syria and Countering Terrorism & Extremism Programs. He is also author of the critically acclaimed book "The Syrian Jihad: Al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, and the Evolution of an Insurgency.”

At the Boundary from the Global and National Security Institute at the University of South Florida, features global and national security issues we’ve found to be insightful, intriguing, fascinating, maybe controversial, but overall just worth talking about.
A "boundary" is a place, either literal or figurative, where two forces exist in close proximity to each other. Sometimes that boundary is in a state of harmony. More often than not, that boundary has a bit of chaos baked in. The Global and National Security Institute will live on the boundary of security policy and technology and that's where this podcast will focus.
The mission of GNSI is to provide actionable solutions to 21st-century security challenges for decision-makers at the local, state, national and global levels. We hope you enjoy At the Boundary.
