Is military force the most effective way to achieve long-term global security?
In short: Conflict researcher Benedetta Berti examines the global response to 9/11 and questions whether traditional battlefield strategies actually create lasting safety. This talk argues that sustainable security requires a fundamental shift in perspective, prioritizing the protection of civilians over the destruction of enemies.
Benedetta Berti suggests that the current approach to international security, largely defined by the response to the 9/11 attacks, may be insufficient for achieving long-term stability. She challenges the reliance on military dominance, proposing that true security is better served by focusing on the welfare and protection of civilian populations globally.
The talk advocates for a radical rethinking of security policy, moving away from a primary focus on defeating adversaries in combat. By prioritizing civilian safety regardless of geography, Berti argues that we can move toward a more sustainable and secure world.
