Demographic shifts are a cause, an effect, and a forerunner of
geopolitical shocks and transformations. Examining these shifts is
an important step in any strategic assessment of the global
security environment. Unfortunately, the demographic community and
the strategic and defense communities seldom interact. Providing
venues for such interactions is therefore important. For this
purpose, RAND sponsored a workshop on "Demography and National
Security" in Paris at the initiative of RAND's Population Matters
program in November 2000. The workshop brought together French,
American, and other European demographers; senior representatives
from the French Ministry of Defense; and researchers, economists,
and experts in geopolitics. Revealing differences emerged, both
between demographers and national-security experts and also between
American and French participants. Different objects of concern
surfaced, and contrasting views of phenomena were debated. For
example, immigration and its social, cultural, and political
impacts tended to be seen in an altogether different light on the
two sides of the Atlantic. Americans were more likely to focus on
the geopolitical implications outside U.S. borders, while Europeans
focused on its domestic implications.
