The Changing Face of War | Texas National Security Review


The Changing Face of War (Winter 2026) issue of the Texas National Security Review is a standout, featuring a slate of compelling articles that tackle “the world’s hardest problems.” In their opening article, TNSR directors Adam Klein and Joseph Maguire connect that ambition to the moment, writing that the post–Cold War order is “being battered by several concurrent trends,” and that “wise guidance should come from America’s great universities.” They argue that universities must honor their “social contract with American society” and remember that they are “quite literally, public trusts.” They frame TNSR as “an investment by the University of Texas” in fulfilling that public trust by elevating rigorous, accessible thinking on today’s pressing security challenges.
