About
Rodrigo Nieto-Gomez is a professor at the Center for Homeland Defense and Security at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA. His fields of research include the geopolitical effects of Homeland Security/Defense and National Security with a regional focus on North America, border security, discourse analysis and the implications of new technologies for security and defense policies.
He has collaborated with the Center for Civil- Military Relations to teach Homeland security issues outside the United States. He has also worked as a lecturer at the Collège interarmées de Défense (CID) of the French armed forces and at the Institut de Relations Internationales et Strategiques in Paris (IRIS).
His research on Homeland Security issues has led to travel all along the US-Mexico border to interview political actors, intellectuals and authorities. In the course of his research, Dr. Nieto-Gomez has observed the geographic conditions that affect the security ecosystem of the US perimeter, gaining first-hand knowledge of every mile of this important and conflictive territory.
He has published on Homeland Security, its relation with “traditional” National Security and the implications of this policy for the Security of the North American Territory. He has also published a book on the subject of Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Information, and maintained a regular political op-ed column from 2000-2004 in the Newspaper Pulso de San Luis.
In some of his most recent work he has focused on the relation between the accelerating pace of technology and innovation and Homeland Security and Defense policies.
He is also a member of the Editorial Review Board of the Homeland Security Affairs Journal, the most important peer reviewed scientific publication on Homeland Defense and Security policies.
Dr. Nieto-Gomez obtained his PhD (summa cum laude) in geopolitics at the Institut Francais de Geopolitique of the University of Paris, from where he also holds a master’s degree in the same discipline. He also holds a Mexican J.D. from the State University of San Luis Potosí, specializing in international public and private law inside the NAFTA region.
His mother tongue is Spanish and he's also fluent in English and French.
