青青草视频 Presidential Lyceum Series hosts what promises to be a fascinating Evening with Peter Zeihan on Thursday, March 14, 2019.
ULM, in partnership with President Nick J. Bruno and the Office of Student Life, annually sponsors the Lyceum Series which brings newsmakers, celebrities and forward-thinking cultural experts such as Zeihan to campus
Zeihan is a geopolitical strategist, which means听he helps people understand how the world works.听
Zeihan combines an expert understanding of demography, economics, energy, politics, technology, and security to help clients best prepare for an uncertain future.
Over the course of his career, Zeihan has worked for the U.S. State Department in Australia, the Washington, D.C., think tank community, and helped develop the analytical models for Stratfor, one of the world鈥檚 premier private intelligence companies.听
Zeihan founded his own firm 鈥斕�� in 2012 in order to provide a select group of clients with direct, custom analytical products. Today those clients represent a vast array of sectors including energy majors, financial institutions, business associations, agricultural interests, universities and the U.S. military.
With a keen eye toward what will drive tomorrow鈥檚 headlines, his irreverent approach
transforms topics that are normally dense and heavy into accessible, relevant takeaways
for audiences of all types.
Zeihan is a critically-acclaimed author whose first two books 鈥� 鈥淭he Accidental Superpower鈥�
and 鈥淭he Absent Superpower鈥� 鈥� have been recommended by Mitt Romney, Fareed Zakaria
and Ian Bremmer. His forthcoming third title, 鈥淒isunited Nations: The Scramble for
Power in an Ungoverned World鈥� will be available late-2019.
