SUMMARY:One-Year Later: Earthquakes in Syria and Turkey
DESCRIPTION:United States Institute of Peace | Virtual Event  \nDescription: On February 6\, 2023\, a series of devastating earthquakes rattled Syria and Turkey\, necessitating a robust international response in an already challenging environment amid ongoing conflict and displacement. The immediate effect of the 7.8-magnitude earthquake and its aftershocks resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands and left countless survivors without homes\, schools or hospitals. In Syria\, the earthquakes exacerbated the humanitarian crisis that had already left millions displaced. The international responsibility to rescue was hindered by tensions in the region between a medley of actors\, including the Syrian regime\, Turkey\, the Syrian Democratic Forces and the remnants of ISIS and its lasting effects. Join USIP for an event marking the one-year anniversary of the earthquakes featuring individuals who experienced the disaster firsthand and were involved in the relief effort. The conversation will examine lessons learned from the international response — with particular attention paid to comparing the responses in Turkey versus Northwest Syria to highlight the difficulties in delivering relief to the latter in a timely fashion. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Talking Back to the West: How Turkey Uses Counter-Hegemony to Reshape the Global Communication Order
DESCRIPTION:Elliott School of International Affairs| In-Person Event  \nDescription: In the 2010s\, Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) mobilized a global media system to counter international criticism of its authoritarian practices and to position the country as a rising great power. Bilge Yesil examines the AKP’s English-language communication apparatus\, focusing on its objectives and outcomes\, the idea-generating framework that undergirds it\, and the implications of its activities. She also analyzes the decolonial and pan-Islamist message the AKP-backed outlets deploy to promote President Erdogan as the voice of oppressed Muslims around the world. As the AKP government wields this rhetoric to further its geopolitical and economic goals\, its communication instruments pursue their own objectives by replacing facts with Muslim identity politics\, cloaking populist commentary in humanist critique\, and demonizing the West to aggrandize the East. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Credible Grand Strategy for Today’s World
DESCRIPTION:Stimson Center | Virtual Event \nDescription: Join us for a discussion on setting priorities for US foreign policy featuring the just-released paper\, “A Credible Grand Strategy: The Urgent Need to Set Priorities.” \nChristopher Preble\, Senior Fellow and Director of the Reimagining US Grand Strategy Program\, will be joined by Senior Fellow Emma Ashford and Miranda Priebe\, Senior Political Scientist\, and Director of the Center for Analysis of Grand Strategy at RAND. The three will consider why U.S. grand strategy is ill-suited to today’s world\, and scrutinize the elements of an alternative grounded in humility and restraint. \nThe era of U.S. global dominance is over. The ends and means of U.S. foreign policy are not aligned; recalibration must start with setting priorities. The United States alone cannot maintain peace and security in every corner of the globe; it should share responsibility with others. Given the United States’ limited resources\, policymakers should recognize that the core goals of U.S. foreign policy – preserving Americans’ security\, prosperity\, and freedom – do not rely on sustaining overwhelming U.S. military power in all places\, and at all times. Different circumstances\, including new constraints on U.S. power\, cry out for new approaches. Specifically\, Preble calls on the United States to rebalance its foreign-policy toolkit by elevating diplomacy\, trade\, and cultural exchanges\, and by deemphasizing the use of force and coercion. \nChristopher Preble\, Senior Fellow and Director of the Reimagining US Grand Strategy Program\, will be joined by Senior Fellow Emma Ashford and Miranda Priebe\, Senior Political Scientist\, and Director of the Center for Analysis of Grand Strategy at RAND.
