SUMMARY:Can the United States and Europe Coordinate Counter-Coercion With Taiwan?
DESCRIPTION:Carnegie Endowment for International Peace | Virtual Event \nDescription: Most debates about Chinese coercion of Taiwan focus on invasion (whether Beijing has a timeline\, whether it can be deterred\, or whether it could succeed)\, and how an international coalition including the United States and Europe might respond. But China’s coercive toolkit is vast and includes both kinetic and non-kinetic measures that fall well short of these dire scenarios. Carnegie’s Evan A. Feigenbaum and Isaac B. Kardon will be joined by Gudrun Wacker and Enoch Wu to discuss whether and how Americans and Europeans can better understand and coordinate responses to Beijing’s tools and tactics designed to coerce Taiwan short of using military force. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Book Launch for "We the Young Fighters: Pop Culture\, Terror\, and War in Sierra Leone."
DESCRIPTION:GMU Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolutions | In-Person event \nDescription: We the Young Fighters: Pop Culture\, Terror and War in Sierra Leone tells the story of war and peace through a pop culture lens. Award-winning author Marc Sommers has written an extraordinary new book on how reggae idol Bob Marley\, rap legend Tupac Shakur\, and the Rambo movies influenced youth\, civil war\, and the postwar peace in the West African nation of Sierra Leone. The new book features alienated youth in Sierra Leone who turned to Marley for inspiration\, Tupac for friendship\, and Rambo for instruction. Together\, they portrayed an upside-down world\, where those in the right are blamed while the powerful attack them. During the civil war\, military commanders exploited the trio’s influence over their young fighters and captives to spur terror-based warfare. After the war\, youth again turned to Marley\, Tupac and Rambo for validation and support. \nPanelists: \n\nMarc Sommers\, author of “We the Young Fighters: Pop Culture\, Terror\, and War in Sierra Leone”\nJack A. Goldstone\, Virginia E. and John T. Hazel\, Jr. Chair Professor of Public Policy\, Schar School of Policy and Government\nPatricia A. Maulden\, Professor of Conflict Resolution\, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution\nAlpaslan Özerdem\, Dean of the Carter School\n\nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:The dangers posed by AI and disinformation during elections
DESCRIPTION:The Brookings Institute| In-Person & Virtual Event \nDescription: The last year has seen an explosion of accessible generative AI tools\, which allow virtually anyone to rapidly and inexpensively create synthetic images\, video\, audio\, and text. As the presidential election approaches\, there are serious concerns about an explosion of disinformation and synthetic content that could impact what is expected to be a very close race. Political campaigns have already begun implementing generative AI tools to create advertisements\, send robocalls and contact voters\, prompting policymakers to propose major legislation and guardrails to protect the integrity of our elections. On March 13\, join the Center for Technology Innovation at Brookings for a discussion moderated by Senior Fellow Darrell West along with a panel of experts\, about the dangers posed by AI and election disinformation and ways to protect the general public.  \nThe registration link can be found below.
