SUMMARY:Freedom and Prosperity Research Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council | In-Person & Virtual Event  \nDescription: Over the past seventeen years\, there has been a noticeable rise in authoritarianism across the globe. Autocratic regimes have sought to export authoritarianism and undermine freedom on a global scale. Citizens in countries around the world have grown increasingly skeptical about democracy’s ability to address their needs\, turning to leaders who promise quick economic gains at the expense of political freedoms. But amid these challenges\, there are signs of hope. Research shows that achieving prosperity does not require sacrificing freedom. In fact\, data demonstrates that the surest path to prosperity lies in a political system that fosters and prioritizes political\, economic\, and legal freedoms. On February 27\, 2024\, the Freedom and Prosperity Center will host its second annual Research Conference at the Atlantic Council headquarters in Washington\, DC. Scholars\, policymakers\, and thought leaders from around the world will present their research and analysis on international development and the relationship between freedom and prosperity. Join the conversation on reshaping the global discourse surrounding the interplay between freedom and prosperity. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:WWI Series Part II: World War I and the Foundations of American Intelligence with Mark Stout
DESCRIPTION:The International Spy Museum | Virtual Event \nDescription: In the second part of our WWI series\, dive deeper into America’s intelligence history with author and global security historian\, Dr. Mark Stout as he discusses his new book World War I and the Foundations of American Intelligence. \nThe book examines the army\, navy\, and State Department’s increasing reliance on intelligence personnel around the globe during the Great War to create a new professional practitioner that transcended the Armistice to active peacetime service leading up to the founding of the Office of Strategic Services in World War II. Stout examines the breadth of American intelligence in the war\, not just in France\, not just at home\, but around the world\, and demonstrates how these far-flung efforts endured after the Armistice in 1918. For the first time\, there came to be a group of intelligence practitioners who viewed themselves as different from other soldiers\, sailors\, and diplomats. Stout will also discuss how this gave the United States a solid foundation from which to expand to meet the needs of the second world war and the Cold War that followed. \nSupport for this program has been provided by a generous grant from the Pritzker Military Foundation\, on behalf of the Pritzker Military Museum & Library. \nThe registration link can be found below.
