Stephen Flynn

Stephen Flynn

Dr. Stephen Flynn is one of world's foremost authorities on homeland and maritime security and critical infrastructure protection. In his new landmark book, The Edge of Disaster: Rebuilding a Resilient Nation, Flynn details the major man-made and natural perils that will almost certainly confront the United States and offers a menu of actions the U.S. government, the private sector, and everyday Americans should undertake right now to manage these dangers. Flynn is also the author of the critically acclaimed and national bestseller, America the Vulnerable, which was the first book to comprehensively analyze America's susceptibility to deadly and disruptive attacks on America's domestic front, and to propose more inclusive, more democratic and ultimately more effective measures to confront our current state of homeland insecurity.

A Senior Fellow for National Security Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and a former Commander in the United States Coast Guard, Flynn has been at the forefront of homeland and maritime security issues since long before the attacks of September 11. He served as the lead consultant on border control, trade and transportation security issues for the congressionally chartered Hart-Rudman Commission that so presciently warned of the catastrophic terrorist threat to the United States nearly one year before al Qaeda struck New York and Washington. Since 9/11 he has provided testimony on seventeen occasions on Capitol Hill.

Flynn is a regular guest on all the major news programs including Meet the Press, 60 Minutes, The News Hour with Jim Lehrer, The Today Show, CNN, The Tim Russert Show, the Charlie Rose Show, and National Public Radio. He is the author of many influential articles including cover stories in the prestigious journal, Foreign Affairs and U.S. News & World Report.

At the podium, Flynn presents a persuasive case for how Americans, Canadians, and the international community can adapt to our dangerous times while improving our quality of life and remaining true to democratic ideals. In a powerful and urgently needed call to action, he delivers a timely message that guides and empowers corporate and general audiences everywhere on how to embrace resiliency as a way to deftly manage the challenges that disasters will present in the 21st Century.

A graduate of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, Flynn is a highly-decorated officer who spent twenty years on active duty in the Coast Guard, including twice in command at sea. The recipient of M.A.L.D. and Ph.D. degrees in International Politics from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, Flynn has been a Guest School at the Brookings Institution, an Annenberg Scholar-in-Residence at the University of Pennsylvania, and is currently a consulting professor at Stanford University's Center for International Security and Cooperation. He served in the White House Military Office during the George H. W. Bush administration and as a director for global issues on the National Security Council staff during the Bill Clinton administration.
