Welcome to the Pivot! My name is Semaj McDowell and I am your host as we delve into the intricacies of developing stories, events, trends, policies, and the outcomes of international politics, security, and relations! In this episode, I introduce myself and provide some insight on what I will be referring to when mentioning geopolitics, national security, domestic policy/security, global security, and geoeconomics. These will be the fundamentals to all episodes moving forward as I aim to make the most complex the most understood!
