Brigadier Damir Barišić participated in an important seminar at the National Defense University of the USA, which took place in Rio de Janeiro from August 19 to 23, 2024. This seminar was crucial for promoting international cooperation and understanding in the context of global security challenges facing the world. About 70 NDU alumni from 40 countries gathered to exchange experiences and strategies for addressing threats such as organized crime, authoritarian regimes, and climate change through discussions, lectures, and workshops.

The Role of NDU in Global Security
Brigadier Barišić emphasized that the National Defense University of the USA enjoys a high reputation for its rigorous and well-developed training program focused on preparing military and civilian personnel to work in complex international environments. This prestigious institution, established by the US Department of Defense, is particularly proud of its alumni who now occupy key positions in military and civilian structures worldwide. From Croatia, distinguished officers such as General Drago Lovrić and Lieutenant General Boris Šerić have been inducted into the NDU International Hall of Fame.

Connecting Through Education
Barišić, who graduated from the Dwight D. Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy, further emphasized the importance of lifelong education promoted by NDU. Such seminars allow former students to reunite, exchange experiences, and develop new strategies for joint action against threats such as illegal migration, disinformation, and illegal resource exploitation. The seminar in Rio de Janeiro was an opportunity to deepen cooperation among countries and create new partnerships.

The Importance of the Seminar for International Cooperation
This seminar is one of a series of events organized by NDU to maintain active connections among its alumni and encourage international cooperation. Last year's seminar was held in Prague, while the next seminar will be held in Washington D.C. in 2025. Such events allow participants to stay updated on the latest security threats and develop joint responses to them, which is of critical importance in an increasingly unstable global environment.

Brigadier Barišić also emphasized that participation in such a seminar is of invaluable importance for exchanging experiences with colleagues from other countries, especially in the context of the global security situation that requires unity and coordinated action.

Editorial Desk for Military and Security Affairs

The Defence and Geostrategic Affairs Editorial Board brings together authors who have spent many years analysing security trends, military doctrines and power relations on the international stage. Our texts are created from the experience of people who have followed the development of modern weapon systems, the evolution of military technologies and the broader geopolitical processes that shape the world for decades. The editorial approach is based on a clear understanding of military strategies, historical precedents and the ways in which the decisions of major powers reflect on global security.

In our work, we rely on professional expertise, personal experience and long-term monitoring of the defence sector. Our authors have studied military operations, modernisation programmes, international conflicts and security studies for years, enabling them to answer complex questions calmly, precisely and with well-founded arguments. We do not deal with superficial interpretations nor transmit sensationalism; our goal is to explain context as seen by people who have researched security challenges throughout their careers.

We pay particular attention to changes that shift the global balance — the strengthening of military alliances, the development of new technologies, doctrinal adjustments and the transformation of international relations. Our focus is not solely on numbers and technical data, but also on the motives, intentions and consequences behind political and military moves. We believe that defence cannot be understood without a broader geostrategic perspective, and geopolitics without a military dimension remains incomplete.

Each member of our editorial team approaches topics with a deep sense of responsibility towards the reader. We strive for clear and comprehensible writing, whether dealing with analyses of weapon systems, regional tensions or security threats that shape the future. Our work stems from the conviction that information is the foundation of security, and that quality journalism is recognised by its ability to turn complex processes into content that helps navigate a rapidly changing world.

The Defence and Geostrategic Affairs Editorial Board continues to build a recognisable style — serious, well-grounded and analytical — and remains committed to seeking answers that are not always simple, but always important. Our mission is to provide content based on experience, fact-checking and an understanding of the security reality, without shortcuts or clichés. In a time when security decisions have far-reaching consequences, we believe that truthful and expertly prepared information is the most valuable resource we can offer our readers.
