In this episode of At the Boundary, GNSI’s Strategy and Research Manager, Dr. Tad Schnaufer II, is joined by Dr. Louise Tumchewics, a professor at the Center for War Studies at the University of Southern Denmark. They discuss Tumchewics’ upcoming project with the Center that focuses on the nexus of cybersecurity, geopolitics, and supply chain resilience for average businesses in Denmark.

Tumchewics mentions the human aspect of cybersecurity, and how Denmark is working to educate its civil population on digital security. She mentions that a cyberattack to critical infrastructure, such as the 2017 Maersk shipping crisis, would be damaging to the Danish supply chain and the Danish people, who rely heavily on online services. She ends with a hopeful look to the future, where countries like Denmark could have effective plans in case of cyber or hybrid threats.

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.

In this episode of GNSI’s At the Boundary podcast, GNSI’s Academic Director, Dr. David Oakley, is joined by the U.S. Army War College’s Chair of Executive and Strategic Leadership, Dr. Celestino Perez, to discuss GNSI’s upcoming undergraduate strategy competition during April’s International Security Experience.

Perez, who developed the Army War College strategy competition, worked with Oakley to plan the ISE’s strategy competition for undergraduate students from USF and other universities around the country and globe, most of whom do not have military backgrounds. Perez and Oakley discuss the merits of this experiential learning exercise in solving strategic problems, as well as Perez’s mantra for strategy competitions: “Strategy is performance.”

They emphasize the importance of teamwork in crafting successful strategies and discuss how classroom environments can foster better strategic thinking among students. During the competition, teams made up of six students each will develop a strategic response based on a prompt, and then each team’s strategy will be judged, and one team will ultimately win the competition.

In this episode of the “At the Boundary” podcast, host Jim Cardoso speaks with strategy expert Tad Schnaufer, PhD about the launch of his GNSI Research Initiative titled: “Path to Durable Peace in the Ukraine War.” The series will feature scholars and experts analyzing the question: What would a durable peace in the Ukraine war actually look like?

Drawing on firsthand experience in Eastern Europe and military service with the Florida Army National Guard, Schnaufer explains why ending the war between Ukraine and Russia will be far more complex than signing a ceasefire agreement. The discussion explores the realities on the battlefield, the failures of past negotiations like the Minsk agreements, and why true peace could require decades of costly deterrence, peacekeeping forces, and political commitment from Western allies.

Whether you follow international relations, military strategy, or current events, this episode provides essential context for understanding how the war could end — and what comes after.
