Honoring the Life and Work of

Laurent Murawiec

1951-2009

Wednesday, November 4, 2009

Hudson Senior Fellow Laurent Murawiec died on October 7 after a long battle with multiple myeloma. A native of France, he was an advisor to the French Ministry of Defense and taught the history of economic planning at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Paris. Prior to joining Hudson in 2002, he was a senior international policy analyst at the RAND Corporation.

His considerable intellectual legacy — whether at RAND, Hudson, or EHESS — includes pioneering research on Islamic radicalism, the future of Asia, the revolution in military affairs, and cyber-warfare. At Hudson and RAND, he undertook numerous studies for the Office of Net Assessment at the Pentagon. He was well known as a forthright analyst among strategic thinkers in the United States, Europe, and Asia.
