These are live simulcasts and questions will be taken for the SL audience.
We are surrounded by issues related to espionage and intelligence, from the use of pilotless drones to electronic surveillance both abroad and at home. Espionage used to be mostly “spy vs spy,” but popularization of the Internet since the end of the Cold War has created new challenges to national security, as well as intelligence gathering opportunities for the United States and others around the world. The digital age has also ushered in the ability of governments and individuals to use electronic tools as weapons. Our speakers this spring will explore all those aspects of the intelligence environment.
The Global Agenda speaker series features national and international practitioners in world affairs. It’s intended to bring to life for UD students and the University community some of the most pressing and engaging questions of the day in international relations.

Governor Chris Christie: Challenges Facing the Governors
Wednesday, November 16, 2011 – 4:30pm
slthttp://slurl.com/secondlife/University%20of%20Delaware/56/150/26
Chris Christie, a University of Delaware alumnus, is the Governor of New Jersey. Since his election in 2009, he has been a quickly rising star in the Republican Party of the United States.
Christie was named U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey in 2002. As the chief federal law enforcement officer in New Jersey, Christie earned praise from leaders in both parties and drew national attention for his efforts in battling political corruption, corporate crime, human trafficking, gangs, terrorism and polluters.
Christie led a widely acclaimed charge against public corruption. Regardless of party affiliation or political influence, when laws were broken, Christie took action. His office racked up an astonishing record – winning convictions or guilty pleas from over 130 public officials – both Republican and Democrat – without losing a single case.
