The progressive resurgence in the run-up to the 2018 Midterm Elections has underlined the need for progressive-minded, forward-looking policy proposals. To that end, The Progressive Security Working Group (PSWG) is hosting in collaboration with The Advanced Consortium on Cooperation, Conflict and Complexity (AC4) a Colloquium on November 7th, 2018, 15th floor IAB. Our aim is to bring together a community of progressive thinkers within the field, provide tangible policy solutions and inform the debate around the results of the US midterm elections.
