SUMMARY:The Continued Need for Support to Ukraine: A Conversation with Former President of Poland Lech Walesa
DESCRIPTION:Center For Strategic & International Studies | Virtual Event  \nDescription: Please join the CSIS Project on Prosperity and Development to welcome former president of Poland Lech Walesa as he delivers keynote remarks regarding the necessity of continued U.S. support for Ukraine. Following his remarks\, President Walesa will participate in a moderated discussion with CSIS Europe\, Russia\, and Eurasia Program director Max Bergmann. As a young labor leader and pro-democracy activist\, Mr. Walesa created the Solidarity (NSZZ\, Solidarność’) movement in 1980 which promoted human rights and opposed Communist rule in Poland. Solidarity’s non-violent\, principled approach to protesting earned Mr. Walesa the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1983. By 1989\, Solidarity became the driving force behind a peaceful transition to democracy in Poland and the template democratic leaders in nearby nations needed to finally end Soviet Russia’s control of Eastern Europe. His prominent role as a catalyst for these historic developments in Poland and across Europe led to his election as the first president of a newly democratic Poland in 1990. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:China peripheries seminar\, session 02: Ecology & Development
DESCRIPTION:Elliott School of International Affairs| Virtual Event  \nDescription: \n\n\nFrom 1-2pm: Development and the Environment in Tibet\nEmily Yeh\, Professor of Geography at University of Colorado-Boulder\nFrom 2-3pm: Ecology and Settler Colonialism in Xinjiang\nGuldana Salimjan\, Professor of ethnic and gender politics in China at Simon Fraser University \nThe China Peripheries Seminar is a series of policy-oriented talks that provide nuanced\, expert discussion of politics on the ethnically diverse and currently highly contested regions along China’s geographical edges. This year’s seminar focuses on three key transformations taking place in China and Greater China today in the fields of environment\, migration\, and Islam. \nThe three sessions will discuss developments in China’s territorial peripheries (Xinjiang\, Tibet\, Inner Mongolia\, and Hong Kong) and explore dynamics on China’s internal and overseas frontiers. Each session will look at the specific ways that policies affect grassroot politics\, and vice versa. Several of our speakers come from a new generation of scholars who are themselves from China’s territorial peripheries and who combine deep insider-outsider knowledge with analysis of policy. \n\n\nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Reforming DoD’s Planning\, Programming\, Budgeting\, and Execution Process for a Competitive Future
DESCRIPTION:RAND | Virtual Event \nDescription: The U.S. national security community faces a rise in global threats and a rapidly changing technological environment that offers both challenges and opportunities for the future fight. Adversaries and competitors are contesting the United States’ traditional edge in innovation\, agility\, global power projection\, and ability to shape the strategic environment. To stay competitive\, the United States must be able to engage with industry\, harness technological advances\, and field new capabilities with unaccustomed speed and flexibility—and to do so within ever-tightening budget constraints. \nCongress\, the Department of Defense\, and other key stakeholders are working on once-in-a-generation changes to the planning\, programming\, budgeting\, and execution (PPBE) process to foster greater speed\, agility\, and innovation. The congressionally mandated Commission on PPBE Reform will present an opportunity to advance these efforts when it submits its final report to Congress in March 2024. \nThis virtual event will bring together a distinguished panel of leaders to discuss their visions for PPBE reform. The event will feature \n\nHon. Chuck Hagel (introduction)\, former Secretary of Defense\nHon. Bob Hale\, Chair of the PPBE Reform Commission\nHon. Eric Fanning\, Commissioner\, PPBE Reform Commission\nHon. Frank Kendall III\, Secretary of the Air Force\nHon. Dr. William A. LaPlante\, Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment\nMs. Lara Sayer\, Executive Director for the Commission on Planning\, Programming\, Budgeting and Execution (PPBE) Reform\nDr. Stephanie Young (moderator)\, Director of Resource Management Program\, RAND Project AIR FORCE\n\nThe registration link can be found below.
