SUMMARY:Carnegie Global Dialogue: China and the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:Carnegie Endowment for International Peace | Virtual Event \nDescription: In recent years\, China’s footprint in the Middle East has grown. While traditionally focused on economic engagement\, Beijing has become more involved in regional political and security issues. In response to the crises in Gaza and the Red Sea\, China has called for de-escalation\, but refrained from playing an active role in conflict mediation. Earlier in 2023\, Beijing helped broker a normalization agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia. How do Middle Eastern countries view China’s shifting foreign policy\, and what are their priorities with Beijing? What are China’s goals and ambitions in the Middle East? How will China-Middle East relations evolve in the years to come? Please join Carnegie China for the fourth event of the 2024 Carnegie Global Dialogue Series. Maha Yahya\, director of the Malcolm H. Kerr Carnegie Middle East Center\, will moderate a discussion with Dr. Hesham Alghannam\, Director General of the Strategic Studies and National Security Programs at Naif Arab University for Security Sciences\, and Jin Liangxiang\, Senior Research Fellow at Shanghai Institutes of International Studies. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Is Europe capable of defending itself?
DESCRIPTION:The Brookings Institute| Virtual Event \nDescription: Since 2014\, Europe’s security landscape has absorbed a series of shocks. Russia’s annexation of Crimea and destabilization of the Donbas\, the migration crisis\, a series of deadly terrorist attacks\, and the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union were followed by Donald Trump’s election as president of the United States\, leading Europeans to question America’s commitment to the NATO alliance. Then came Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. While Europe’s approach to security has been transformed by the war\, its future remains deeply uncertain. How would Europe react if a reelected President Trump withdrew the United States from NATO? Are European militaries prepared to respond to territorial infringements\, no longer an unimaginable scenario? Could Europe defend itself without America? Are its current military investments enough? Are new common defense structures needed? How will the outcome of the war in Ukraine reshape European security? What is Europe’s role in the Middle East? On March 12\, the Center on the United States and Europe at Brookings\, together with the Centre for European Reform (CER) in London\, will convene a panel of experts to reflect on the past decade and uncertain future of European defense policy and draw lessons to safeguard the continent’s common security in the coming decade. The panelists are alumni of the Clara Marina O’Donnell fellowship at CER\, a six-month fellowship for early career foreign and security policy researchers which honors O’Donnell\, a CER and Brookings expert on foreign and defense policy who died of cancer at the age of 30 in January 2014. Applications for the 2024-25 fellowship are now open. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Why Putin’s Rigged Election Matters
DESCRIPTION:Foreign Policy Research Institute| Virtual Event \nDescription: Russia’s presidential election is not until March 17\, and yet Vladimir Putin’s victory has already been preordained. Still\, the election presents a rare legal opportunity for dissent. The recent death of Alexei Navalny\, Putin’s most vocal and popular challenger\,  galvanized thousands to turn out to pay tribute to him\, defying the police. While an uptick in dissent will not change the election’s results\, might it signal the emergence of more serious and sustained resistance to Putin? Personalist authoritarian regimes like Putin’s are hard but brittle; small cracks caused by seemingly minor events can spread quickly and threaten the stability of the entire system. Join Eurasia Head of Research Robert Hamilton\, András Tóth-Czifra\, and Olga Khvostunova as they discuss the evolution of Putin’s regime during his almost quarter century in power\, the state of popular resistance\, and what the future might hold for a post-Putin Russia. \nThe registration link can be found below.
