Paul T. Becker Santa Clara University Undergraduate

Supervisor: Dr. John Deni, SSI Project: In the last year and a half, NATO appears to have implemented a revised defensive planning process, appearing far more robust than past iterations insofar as it has tried to more critically assess and then shape member state defense plans and capabilities.
