 illage - [1]Map\n\n   SpeakerBio:Constantine Nicolaidis\n   Constantine Ni
 colaidis leads a Risk Management practice that focuses\n   on securing U.S
 . privately owned critical infrastructure. Over the\n   last decade he has
  leveraged his expertise in security and data-based\n   product developmen
 t to create tools for security professionals.\n   Constantine has also spe
 nt the last five years developing a\n   geopolitical modeling system to he
 lp forecast and describe the nature\n   of political and social crises. He
  advises various security groups on\n   the nature of modern multi-domain 
 warfare with an emphasis on the\n   cyber and cognitive domains. Constanti
 ne holds a Master’s Degree in\n   Human-Computer Interaction from the Ca
 rnegie Mellon School of Computer\n   Science and is currently enrolled in 
 the Master’s in Cybersecurity\n   Degree program at the SANS Technology 
 Institute.\n\n   Description:\n   What are the root causes of today’s po
 litically charged and\n   polarized environment? Conventional wisdom likes
  to point the finger\n   at social media and middle class immiseration but
  is there more to the\n   story? A few researchers were able to accurately
  predict the current\n   trends toward populism and political polarization
 \, decades ago. A new\n   field of study that combines big data and histor
 ical analysis was\n   created in the early 2000s. What do these perspectiv
 es have to say\n   about the current political crisis? Our geopolitical en
 vironment has\n   changed significantly in the last few decades as well. A
 uthoritarian\n   states actively seek to delegitimize democratic systems. 
 What are\n   their motivations and what types of vulnerabilities in the li
 beral\n   democratic order might they try to exploit? Come experience a\n 
   whirlwind tour of multi-model geopolitical forecasting. What do some\n  
  of the most well researched and respected economic\, political and\n   hi
 storical models have to say about the current state of politics in\n   the
  U.S? Have we been here before and what are the implications of\n   these 
 perspectives for the next election?\n   '\n\n   1. #CaesarsAcademyBR\n\n\n
