Overview
Lawfare, a blog hosted by the Brookings Institution, has for six-and-a-half years led a serious public discussion of national security law and policy through reporting and analysis that is nonpartisan, useful, insightful, and timely. Brookings Senior Fellow Ben Wittes and Brookings Fellow Susan Hennessey co-edit the digital magazine, contribute to its content, and edit the contributions of experts in technology, conflict law, cybersecurity, digital privacy, surveillance, and executive and presidential power. Through this grant, Lawfare will expand its capacity and team to lead a technical, non-ideological discussion of national security issues for Lawfare’s hundreds of thousands of monthly readers.
