SUMMARY:China’s standing in the Global South: Takeaways from the Belt and Road Forum
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council | Virtual Event \nDescription: This October\, China will host its annual Belt and Road Initiative Global Forum in Beijing\, marking BRI’s ten-year anniversary. In the past decade\, the BRI has become a flagship strategy of the PRC’s involvement in the Global South. China has already spent roughly $1 trillion dollars on the BRI\, and more than 150 countries and 30 international organizations have joined the Initiative. This year’s forum is being advertised by Beijing as an important platform to discuss BRI cooperation and as the culmination of the BRI’s 10-year anniversary celebrations. This virtual panel will discuss key takeaways from the BRI Global Forum and evaluate China’s current standing with the Global South. The panel will also discuss some of the findings from Global China Hub’s Nonresident Senior Fellow Michael Schuman’s latest report\, “Why China won’t win the Global South\,” which outlines the shortcomings of China’s efforts to garner support from the Global South and what this means for the US and its allies and partners. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:The third-party problem: Countering sanctions circumvention
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council | Virtual Event \nDescription: In response to the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022\, the European Union (EU) in close coordination with its like-minded partners and allies has imposed unprecedented sanctions. To date\, eleven packages have been approved\, targeting 245 entities and 1\,550 individuals and covering a wide range of key sectors\, goods and services. Likewise\, the United States has imposed over 3\,000 sanctions on Russia with the intent of weakening Moscow’s ability to wage war and depressing its export income. Sanctions are having a very tangible impact with Russia losing crucial revenue and growing desperate to procure a wide range of goods. Nevertheless\, Western goods and components continue finding their way to Russia\, albeit through increasingly complex routes and schemes. To that end\, sanctions coordinators from the EU and the United States have engaged in extensive outreach\, sometimes jointly\, with Türkiye\, the United Arab Emirates\, Kyrgyzstan\, Kazakhstan\, Uzbekistan\, Armenia\, Georgia and Serbia. How extensive is sanctions circumvention\, and how is the cooperation with third countries going? What is the role of US and EU companies in broader circumvention patterns and what can be done to stop this? What are feasible steps to strengthen compliance\, and should such measures look to convince or coerce? And how should the EU\, US\, and their partners coordinate their response?Finally\, how should Western allies and partners engage China\, which is estimated to supply around seventy percent of high-tech products of military capability to Russia? What additional steps should we consider to ensure compliance across new and existing measures? \nJoin us at 9:30 am on October 23 for an expert panel discussion with Ambassador David O’Sullivan\, International Special Envoy for the Implementation of EU Sanctions\, and James O’Brien\, Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs and former Head of the Office of Sanctions Coordination at the US Department of State. This conversation is moderated by Kimberly Donovan\, Director of the Economic Statecraft Initiative at the Atlantic Council. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:The war in Israel and Gaza
DESCRIPTION:The Brookings Institute | Virtual Event \nDescription: On October 7\, Hamas launched an unprecedented assault on southern Israel\, killing at least 1\,400 Israelis and taking as many as 200 hostages to Gaza\, including children and the elderly. Israel has since mobilized for full-scale war\, and heavy bombardment has killed thousands and displaced many more in the Gaza Strip as rocket fire toward Israel continues. On the Lebanon-Israel border\, Hezbollah has attacked Israeli posts numerous times\, as Iran and Hezbollah warn that they may join the war and open a second front. Amid the turmoil\, President Joe Biden visited the region on October 18 to reinforce staunch U.S. support for Israel. His plans for a wider summit with key Arab leaders were scuttled by the explosion at Gaza’s Al Ahli Hospital which resulted in hundreds of deaths. On October 23\, the Center for Middle East Policy at Brookings will host a virtual event about the crisis. Experts will discuss the Israeli military operation and its aims\, the ramifications of the escalating violence on the Middle East more broadly\, and ongoing U.S. diplomatic efforts to manage this volatile conflict. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Why the Global South has a stake in dialogues on AI governance
DESCRIPTION:The Brookings Institute | Virtual Event \nDescription: The United States and the European Union (EU) have been at the forefront of debates surrounding the regulation\, oversight\, and guidance of responsible artificial intelligence (AI). This summer\, the EU passed the first piece of artificial intelligence regulation\, the AI Act\, which classifies AI systems by risk and mandates requirements around development and use. In 2022\, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy published the Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights which lays out five protections in the design\, development\, and deployment of AI and other automated technologies. However\, largely absent from these conversations are members of the Global South\, which include the African Union\, Latin America\, the Caribbean\, and India. These regions are having their own conversations around responsible AI governance that can inform trans-Atlantic dialogues. Debates focused on AI regulation from these diasporas can also shed light on the geopolitical components and complexities of global governance policies. On October 23\, join the Center for Technology Innovation at Brookings for a discussion with leading experts representing the Global South to learn more about how they are approaching AI governance and advancing responsible and explainable AI frameworks that are trustworthy for individual users\, organizations and government. CTI Director and Senior Fellow Nicol Turner Lee will moderate the discussion. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:HIV/AIDS and Pandemic Preparedness: PEPFAR’s Role in Advancing Global Health Security
DESCRIPTION:Center for Strategic and International Studies | Virtual Event \nDescription: The U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) has been recognized as one of the most successful U.S. foreign assistance programs in American history. By partnering with governments and civil society in affected countries since 2003\, PEPFAR has supported the delivery of critical treatment and prevention services to people living with and at risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)\, saving 25 million lives and preventing millions of HIV infections across the globe. In training health workers\, strengthening laboratory capabilities\, and fortifying supply chains\, PEPFAR’s investments have helped strengthen local health systems and prepared partner countries to respond to other health threats\, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ebola outbreak in Uganda in 2022. Please join the CSIS Bipartisan Alliance for Global Health Security on Monday\, October 23rd from 4:30 to 5:45 PM ET online for a conversation highlighting opportunities for the United States to deepen its support for aligned approaches to HIV and pandemic preparedness and response and to lead global partners in recognizing the importance of integrating HIV and global health security and diplomacy efforts. The event will feature introductory remarks by Congresswoman Barbara Lee (CA-12) and a keynote address by Ambassador-At Large John Nkengasong\, U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator and Senior Bureau Official for Global Health Security and Diplomacy at the U.S. Department of State. The remarks will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by Julie Gerberding\, CEO of the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health and Co-Chair of the CSIS Bipartisan Alliance for Global Health Security\, and including Mark Dybul\, Professor at the Georgetown University Medical Center and Senior Advisor at the Center for Global Health Practice and Impact and Jenelle Krishnamoorthy\, Vice President Head of Global Public Policy\, Corporate Affairs\, Merck & Co. \nThe registration link can be found below.
