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
The USA Missed the Golden Hour for Impactful Aid in Afghanistan
Text the ATB Team! We'd love to hear from you!
We sit in on a conversation with Alexious Butler, a Non-Resident Senior Fellow with GNSI and a Mission Director with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), about the concept of "The Golden Hour," specifically as it pertains to Afghanistan. The "Golden Hour" is commonly defined as the critical moment in a conflict zone when timely aid can dramatically alter outcomes in those zones. She and GNSI Research Fellow, Dr. Guido Rossi candidly discuss how the United States missed the Golden Hour and what that miss means.
The two of them also authored a GNSI Decision Brief on this topic, which you can find on our website here.
We hope you enjoy the episode!

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.
