SUMMARY:The Politics of Bread in Egypt
DESCRIPTION:Carnegie Endowment For International Peace | In-Person & Online Event \nRussia’s invasion of Ukraine laid bare the stark vulnerabilities of the Middle East and North Africa’s reliance on imported grain. In Egypt\, wheat imports make up roughly half the flour needed for its vast subsidized bread program—a fact that is an ongoing source of anxiety. Why is the Egyptian government so dependent on foreign grain\, and why is the regime so committed to its bread subsidy? \nJoin Carnegie’s Middle East Program for a special conversation on the politics of grain imports\, bread subsidies\, and food security\, marking the launch of Jessica Barnes’ new book\, Staple Security: Bread and Wheat in Egypt. Barnes will present the book’s main themes\, followed by a discussion with George Perkovich\, moderated by Amr Hamzawy.

SUMMARY:Russian Information Warfare: A Conversation With Dr. Bilyana Lilly
DESCRIPTION:Carnegie Endowment For International Peace | Online Event \nIt is no secret that the Kremlin uses offensive cyber operations against NATO members. What is often overlooked is the supplementary information warfare that the Russian government uses as a tool against democratic political infrastructure. Election disinformation\, coup plots\, and protests all fall under Moscow’s goal of creating conflict and chaos without passing the threshold of armed conflict. How does the Kremlin’s information warfare threaten democratic countries\, and how can Western countries prepare for future Russian campaigns? \nJoin Carnegie senior fellow Gavin Wilde in a timely conversation with Dr. Bilyana Lilly\, director of security intelligence and geostrategy at the Krebs Stamos Group\, to discuss her new book\, Russian Information Warfare: Assault on Democracies in the Cyber Wild West\, examining the role of cyber operations and information warfare in Russia’s geopolitical aspirations\, and how NATO members can defend themselves.

SUMMARY:COP27: Closing the Climate Adaptation Investment Gap in Small Island States and Coastal Communities
DESCRIPTION:The Stimson Center | In-Person & Online Event \nNext month\, Egypt will host COP27 whose major goal is to turn past climate pledges into action. Yet during COP26\, island states and least developed countries across the Global South called for greater focus and more resources devoted to climate adaptation and resilience. Recent extreme weather events in places like Pakistan and the Philippines underscore this urgency. With the UN estimating that $300 billion is needed annually to fill the adaptation gap in developing countries\, tensions run high as world leaders grapple with ways to reduce carbon while also building resilience where it is needed most. Please join us for a robust discussion with US leadership\, the World Bank\, and the COP 27 Presidency’s Egyptian government on the pathway forward and the tools such as CORVI needed to achieve success.

SUMMARY:Modern Intelligence Operations Across Multi-Domain Environments
DESCRIPTION:The Institute of World Politics | In-Person Event \nAbout the Lecture: This lecture will discuss how intelligence capabilities and operations have evolved to enable our national government leaders and military forces to seamlessly counter and/or defeat a near-peer adversary capable of contesting the U.S. in all domains [air\, land\, maritime\, space\, and cyberspace] in both competition and armed conflict. This evolution has changed the way tactical\, operational\, and strategic intelligence capabilities support both national strategy and military operations. It also requires simultaneous\, integrated\, and synchronized intelligence operational planning and execution\, at the speed and scale needed to avoid surprises\, gain the advantage\, and satisfy all types of intelligence consumers in near-real-time. Today’s intelligence community has adapted our ability to seamlessly analyze\, fuse\, and share what was once domain-centric information into a single ecosystem that supports the national leadership and military commanders across all domains and all levels of competition/war.

SUMMARY:Avenging 9/11: CIA’s Team Alpha
DESCRIPTION:Institute of World Politics | In-Person Event \nAbout the Lecture: America is reeling – Al-Qaeda has struck\, and thousands are dead. The country scrambles to respond\, but the Pentagon has no plan for Afghanistan – where Osama bin Laden masterminded the attack and is protected by the Taliban. Instead\, the CIA steps forward to spearhead the war. \nEight CIA officers are dropped into the mountains of northern Afghanistan on October 17\, 2001. They are Team Alpha\, an eclectic band of linguists\, tribal experts\, and elite warriors: the first Americans to operate inside Taliban territory. Their covert mission is to track down Al-Qaeda and stop the terrorists from infiltrating the United States again. \nScott Spellmeyer and David Tyson were members of the 8-man Team Alpha\, the first group of U.S. personnel to infiltrate into Afghanistan behind enemy lines after the 11 September 2001 al-Qaida attacks on the U.S. The two retired CIA officers will talk about the team’s deployment\, including a discussion on working with Afghan warlords\, conducting intelligence and combat operations against enemy forces\, and the strong cooperation between the CIA and the U.S. Green Berets \nLocation: The Institute of World Politics 1521 16th St. NW Washington D.C. 20036 Marlatt Mansion\, Commodore Barry Room

SUMMARY:Where Do China-India Relations Stand?
DESCRIPTION:Carnegie Endowment for International Peace | Virtual Event \nEvent Description: “Despite some progress on the border dispute\, China and India remain at odds. Beijing’s assertiveness in the Himalayas has pushed New Delhi closer toward the United States and Europe\, and there are few signs that the two Asian powers can mend their strained relationship. Though New Delhi’s ties with Washington are warming\, the latter has been frustrated by the former’s refusal to join Western sanctions on Russia. And while India has further embraced the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue and strengthened ties with other Asian countries\, it has been reticent to fully align with Washington in several areas. Their differences notwithstanding\, can China and India find common ground? Where are the limits in U.S.-India ties? Paul Haenle will moderate a discussion among Vijay Gokhale\, Han Hua\, and Ashley J. Tellis on the state of China-India ties\, as well as the implications for the United States. This panel is the second of the Carnegie Global Dialogue Series 2022–2023 and will also be recorded and published as a China in the World podcast.” \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Carnegie Connects: Is Russia-Ukraine a Forever War?
DESCRIPTION:Carnegie Endowment for International Peace | Virtual Event \nEvent Description: “Russian aggression against Ukraine continues with no end in sight. While Ukrainian military offensives have shifted the momentum and recaptured significant swaths of territory\, entrenched Russian positions and winter conditions have slowed the tempo of the fighting. Meanwhile Russia’s air and missile strikes have crippled Ukrainian infrastructure and exacted a severe price on civilians. Where is the war headed? Is the resolve of the U.S.-led coalition still strong? How has the conflict affected Putin’s domestic support? And what options are available to the Biden administration other than simply staying the course? Join Aaron David Miller as he sits down with Carnegie’s own Andrew S. Weiss and one of Russia’s most acclaimed political observers\, Ekaterina Schulmann\, to discuss these and other issues.” \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Transitional Justice in Wartime Yemen
DESCRIPTION:Foreign Policy Research Institute | Virtual Event \nEvent Description: ” During and after the 2011 uprising in Yemen\, actors across civil society pushed longstanding and unmet demands for justice to the forefront. As Yemen’s internationally-brokered transitional process gave way to war\, these demands persisted\, even as new grievances quickly emerged. In this event\, Stacey Philbrick Yadav\, a leading expert on Yemeni politics and author of Yemen in the Shadow of Transition: Pursuing Justice Amid War (Oxford University Press\, 2022) will discuss the work that civil actors are undertaking now to ensure that post-conflict institutions can substantively respond to the demands of Yemeni society. Drawing on nearly two decades of research\, including recent collaborative research with Yemeni-led research and advocacy organizations\, Yadav considers the road ahead for Yemeni civil society and elites. This discussion will be moderated by FPRI’s Director of Research\, James Ryan.” \nThe registration link can be found below.
