SUMMARY:What will it take for the EU to enlarge?
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council | Virtual Event \nDescription: Please join the Atlantic Council’s Europe Center for a virtual public event “What will it take for the EU to enlarge?” This discussion will take place over Zoom on Friday\, October 27 at 8:30 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. ET. The enlargement of the European Union has once again been reinvigorated as a geopolitical necessity since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Since the invasion\, the European Council has granted candidacy status to Ukraine and Moldova and reiterated support for Georgia’s European perspective. Countries in the Western Balkans\, long in Europe’s waiting room for membership\, have also found their EU aspirations bolstered as well. The debate over the widening of the EU cannot happen in a vacuum\, experts and officials alike argue\, and any discussion over the EU’s enlargement must come with discussion of EU reform. Many EU leaders argue core elements of the EU’s structure and decision-making process must be adapted before the bloc grows to thirty-plus members. With this newfound geopolitical urgency\, officials and experts have put greater emphasis on developing proposals to prepare the EU for enlargement\, including with a report and proposals by a Franco-German working group on EU institutional reform. But consensus among the EU’s twenty-seven members on the path forward remains unclear. As a close partner of the United States\, the EU’s reform and enlargement carries important implications not just for Brussels or capitals of candidate countries\, but for the transatlantic relationship as well. What should US policymakers know about EU enlargement\, and how will it affect the US-EU relationship? Can the EU be ready to take on new members\, and what are the geopolitical ramifications of action or inaction? How will reform and enlargement of the EU change the bloc’s geopolitical ambitions? Join the Atlantic Council to unpack the importance of the debate over EU reform and enlargement with EU experts and members of the Franco-German working group on institutional EU reform\, among others. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Conflict: The Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:The Hudson Institute | In-Person Event \nDescription: With the eruption of war in the Middle East and Europe and tensions flaring in the Taiwan Strait\, the American-led international system seems to be at an inflection point. The number of geopolitical flashpoints from the Sahel to the South China Sea is increasing at an alarming rate\, and many are beginning to doubt the United States’ ability to deter hostile\, revisionist powers across the globe. Join Hudson Distinguished Fellow Walter Russell Mead for a discussion with critically acclaimed historian Andrew Roberts and General David Petraeus on their new book Conflict: The Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to Ukraine\, which provides a penetrating analysis of the last 70 years of military history\, highlighting many of the critical lessons that we should draw from past wars. This insightful text helps explain how the US military can anticipate the rapidly evolving threat environment in an increasingly dangerous world to best prepare for the wars of the future. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:International Humanitarian Law and the Conflict in Israel and Palestine
DESCRIPTION:Elliott School of International Affairs | Virtual Event \nDescription: International Humanitarian Law (IHL)\, also known as the “laws of war\,” consists of a series of legal instruments that govern the conduct of belligerents in situations of armed conflict. The central aim of IHL is to protect civilians by limiting the means and methods of warfare to reduce unnecessary harm and suffering. IHL stipulates key principles–distinction\, proportionality\, and precaution–to regulate the conduct of hostilities. Violations of IHL hinder civilian protection\, impede humanitarian access\, and disrupt humanitarian assistance. This panel adopts the perspective of IHL to analyze the current conflict between Israel and Hamas and the effects on civilians. What key rules of IHL are applicable in this crisis? What are the status and obligations of the parties to the conflict under IHL? Under IHL\, who is responsible for protecting civilian populations​ and their rights\,​ and for ensuring humanitarian access?  How is IHL enforced and how are violations addressed? What are the obligations of the international community? This event is not open to the media and off the record. No audio or video recording is permitted. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:A conversation with Deputy Assistant Secretary Dawson on Indo-Pacific strategy
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council | Virtual Event \nDescription: Please join the Atlantic Council’s Indo-Pacific Security Initiative\, housed in the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security\, for a conversation with Deputy Assistant Secretary (DAS) for the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs\, Camille P. Dawson regarding the United States’ strategy in the Indo-Pacific region. This hybrid event will take place on Friday\, October 27 at 2:45 PM ET. As the post-Cold War order comes to a close\, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently introduced the concept of “diplomatic variable geometry” to capture the US approach to the new era. He argues that we should be intentional when assembling diverse coalitions of countries\, local governments\, nonprofits\, private sector\, and academia to adequately address each foreign policy issue at hand. During this event\, Deputy Assistant Secretary Dawson will build upon this concept to discuss how minilateral engagements with Indo-Pacific partners can complement the existing regional security architecture. The conversation will focus on the purpose of building new and flexible partnerships through the Quad\, AUKUS\, Partners in the Blue Pacific (PBP)\, US-Republic of Korea-Japan\, US-Japan-Philippines\, and US-EU arrangements central to the Indo-Pacific Strategy. She will also consider questions such as\, “How will the United States factor the perspectives of allies and partners into this approach\, and what lines of effort is the United States pursuing within that structure?” \nThe registration link can be found below.
