21 Oct From Vision to Action: Overwatch Magazine and the Mission of MSI²
By,
MSI²
The launch of Overwatch: The Hughes Review of Strategic Intelligence marks the beginning of a new editorial journey for the Miami Strategic Intelligence Institute (MSI²).
In the opening letter of this first issue, our founder and CEO, Dr. Rafael Marrero, outlines the institute’s mission: to foster stability, strengthen democratic values, and provide strategic insight across the Americas.

Far from being a simple introduction, this letter sets the intellectual foundation of the magazine. Dr. Marrero reflects on the need for rigorous analysis, independent research, and policy engagement to better inform decision-makers and contribute to the region’s security and resilience.
The vision behind MSI² is one of clarity, responsibility, and commitment to analytical excellence.
By sharing these guiding principles, the letter invites readers to explore a publication designed not only to analyze current challenges, but also to anticipate the strategic shifts shaping the future.
