SUMMARY:The U.S.-Japan Alliance
DESCRIPTION:Rand Corporation | Virtual Event \nDescription: The Abe Shinzō administration debuted its Indo-Pacific strategy in 2016\, calling for a Free and Open Indo-Pacific\, or FOIP. Subsequently\, not only did the United States adopt the approach\, but the concept has spread among regional countries seeking to maintain a stable rules-based order. With so many states focused on the Indo-Pacific region\, and the U.S.-Japan alliance keeping FOIP central to their regional engagements\, it is critical to better understand how the alliance is working together in the region and how regional countries are responding to this engagement. RAND\, Japan House Los Angeles and Japan’s Consulate General of Los Angeles are hosting a free and public conference to explore questions such as: How do American and Japanese experts assess their countries’ free and open Indo-Pacific strategies in regard to security issues? How do American and Japanese experts assess their countries’ free and open Indo-Pacific strategies in regard to economic issues? Finally\, what are regional countries doing in their strategic engagement to the region? This conference is aimed at a general audience and will not assume any previous knowledge of foreign policy; we believe that audience members of all backgrounds will learn new things about this exciting topic. This conference will explore the perspectives of U.S. and Japanese specialists\, as well as representatives of other regional countries\, and contribute to public understanding of the key issues confronting Washington and Tokyo. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Early Warning Systems in Fragile and Conflict-Affected Settings: Enhancing Operational Impact and Community Resilience
DESCRIPTION:The World Bank | In-Person & Virtual Event \nDescription: Early Warning Systems (EWS) stand at the forefront of disaster risk reduction efforts worldwide. On the World Meteorological Day of March 2022\, the United Nations Secretary General called for every person on Earth to be protected by EWS against increasingly extreme weather and climate change by 2027. It is estimated that universal access to EWS can reduce asset and well-being losses from disasters by an estimated $35 billion per year and contributes to reducing mortality from disaster risks. Nevertheless\, billions of people today still do not have access to EWS: approximately one-third of the world’s population still lacks access to a warning system. This figure is likely to increase in events of protracted conflict\, and fragile\,conflict\, and violence (FCV)-affected countries stand out as they are particularly vulnerable to disaster risks: of the top 25 most climate vulnerable countries\, 19 are fragile and/or conflict ‐affected\, illustrating the alarming intersection of FCV with growing climate and disaster risks. This deep-dive session aims to foster discussions among operational teams on the critical need for tailored and contextualized approaches to EWS implementation in FCV settings\, in order to enhance community resilience in the face of climate and disaster risks. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:New Books in Asian Studies: "The Collapse of Nationalist China"
DESCRIPTION:Elliott School of International Affairs | In-Person event \nDescription: When World War II ended Chiang Kai-shek seemed at the height of his power-the leader of Nationalist China\, one of the victorious Allied Powers in 1945 and with the financial backing of the US. Yet less than four years later\, he lost the China’s civil war against the communists. Offering an insightful chronological treatment of the years 1944–1949\, Parks Coble addresses why Chiang was unable to win the war and control hyperinflation. Using newly available archival sources\, he reveals the critical weakness of Chiang’s style of governing\, the fundamental structural flaws in the Nationalist government\, bitter personal rivalries and Chiang’s personal lack of interest in finance. This major work of revisionist scholarship will engage all those interested in the shaping of twentieth-century history. \nThe registration link can be found below.
