SUMMARY:If We Don’t Sell: What Happens When States are Cut Off from US Arms
DESCRIPTION:Stimson Center | Virtual  \nDescription: “If we don’t sell them arms\, someone else will\,” has become a well-known refrain in the arms trade world\, implying that partners cut off from U.S. defense exports will quickly source them from other suppliers. But there is reason to believe that there is far more complexity to the issue than suggested by this simple axiom. Join the Stimson Center for a critical look at some of the assumptions reflected in the U.S. arms trade and how they shape conceptions of leverage\, influence\, and conditionality in international security cooperation. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:The Many Faces of Autocratization: Diversity and Cooperation among Authoritarian Actors
DESCRIPTION:German Marshall Fund | Virtual  \nDescription: The political developments of the last decade put key components of liberal democracy—checks and balances\, pluralism\, and individual rights—in peril across the globe with autocratizers seeming to draw inspiration from the same playbook. Beyond challenging the foundations of democracy at home\, they are increasingly striving for developing international alliances\, thereby posing a threat also to the liberal democratic order. Most explanations of the recent trend of de-democratization focus on economic inequality\, the negative side effects of globalization\, political polarization\, and the transformation of communication technologies. The values\, ideas\, and norms of the promoters of de-democratization receive less attention. However\, if we want to strengthen the resilience of liberal democracies as well as the liberal democratic order\, we need to understand what drives illiberal actors\, what they value\, what political visions they pursue\, and what the prospects and limits of their cooperation are. As its starting point\, this panel discussion builds on the AUTHLIB Working Paper “Ideologies of Autocratization” by Zsolt Enyedi\, which argues that the global emergence of a coherent ideology of autocratization is unlikely. Yet\, there is an intensification of ideological framing\, structured around illiberal conservatism\, paternalist populism\, and civilizationist ethnocentrism that is prevalent around the world. The consequences of this and its potential to fuel the international cooperation and alliance building of authoritarian actors will be explored during the debate. This event takes place in the framework of the “AUTHLIB – Neo-authoritarianisms in Europe and the Liberal Democratic Response” project funded by the European Union and the UK Research and Innovation. Views and opinions expressed are however do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or UK Research and Innovation. Neither the European Union nor the UK Re-search and Innovation can be held responsible for them. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Reveal\, Repair\, and (Re)imagine: Reframing Philanthropy Theory and Practice
DESCRIPTION:Schar School of Policy and Government | In-Person  \nDescription: Applying a critical perspective can help us to think differently about the work we do in the philanthropic sector and how we do the work to alleviate oppressions and bring about just futures. This presentation draws on several research projects and practice examples to make an argument for using a critical perspective to reframe our research and practice in the philanthropic field through: Revealing unexamined assumptions\, unintended consequences\, and making invisible systems of power and oppression\, visible; repairing or changing these systems of power and oppression; and (re)imagining better futures towards emancipation\, transformation\, equity\, and justice. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:South Africa’s Joint Naval Exercises: Implications for US-South Africa Relations
DESCRIPTION:Foreign Policy Research Institute |  \nDescription: South Africa’s announcement of joint naval exercises with Russia and China in the Indian Ocean in February 2023 created a stir in South Africa and in some European capitals. While the official US response to these exercises was low-key\, there was some expression of concern. The American media\, however\, paid little attention.  The issues raised by the South Africa-China-Russia naval exercises\, however\, are important. Do the exercises\, the second time since 2019 that South Africa has held joint exercises with China and Russia\, have significant implications for US national security? Three noted experts in African security affairs\, Paul  Nantulya of the National Defense University’s Africa Center\, Dr. Bob Wekesa of the Africa Center for the study of the United States at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg\, South Africa\, and David Rusa\, lecturer in international relations and security studies at Cavendish University in Kampala\, Uganda\, join FPRI Africa Program chair Charles Ray in a discussion of the broader implications of this military exercise and what it might mean for future US-South Africa relations. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Locked Out of Development: A Conversation with Dr. Steffen Hertog
DESCRIPTION:Center for Strategic & International Studies | Virtual Event \nDescription: Despite billions of dollars spent in development efforts in the Middle East over the past two decades\, low- and middle-income countries have had little success in building dynamic economies. In his new book\, Locked Out of Development\, Professor Steffen Hertog argues that the historically outsized role of government in Arab economies\, insider-outsider gaps\, and an unhappy marriage between low skills and low productivity together create a “segmented market economy” that eschews effective cooperation between the state\, businesses\, and labor. Please join the CSIS Middle East Program for a conversation with Hertog about his new book\, Arab capitalism\, and the stark divisions that hinder economic growth in Arab economies. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:The UDHR at 75: A Conversation with UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk
DESCRIPTION:Center for Strategic & International Studies | Virtual Event \nDescription: This year marks seventy-five years since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted. This iconic document was born out of the ashes of the Second World War to try to address many of the root causes of that conflict so that future conflicts could be prevented. It envisioned a world in which human beings can flourish free from fear or want and suggests that human rights\, across the full spectrum of civil\, cultural\, economic\, political and social rights\,  provide a blueprint both for preventing conflict and for promoting sustainable peace and development. Please join the CSIS Human Rights Initiative for an armchair conversation with Volker Türk\, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights\, on the occasion of his first official visit to Washington in this role. Mr. Türk has devoted his long and distinguished career to advancing universal human rights. Prior to this\, Mr. Türk was the Under-Secretary-General for Policy in the Executive Office of the United Nations Secretary-General where he coordinated global policy work and\, before that\, Assistant High Commissioner for Protection at the United Nations High Commission for Refugees. The conversation will be moderated by CSIS Human Rights Initiative Director Marti Flacks\, and will include Mr. Turk’s reflections on the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights\, the 5th anniversary of the United Nations/World Bank Group joint report Pathways for Peace: Inclusive Approaches to Preventing Violent Conflict\, and the security benefits of investing in human rights. An audience Q&A will follow. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Report Launch: Seven Critical Technologies for Winning the Next War
DESCRIPTION:Center for Strategic & International Studies | Virtual Event \nDescription: The next war will be fought on a high-tech battlefield. But which technologies will make a real difference? Where will the US find a technological edge? CSIS is launching a new report on the seven technologies that could make the difference in a fight against a near-peer adversary. This report explores how key technologies\, such as AI/ML\, quantum technology\, biotechnology\, and robotics will shape the spectrum of conflict in the next ten years.

DESCRIPTION:Carnegie Endowment for International Peace | Virtual Event  \nDescription: As the war in Ukraine drags on\, China-EU relations face mounting uncertainties. Beijing has attempted to tread a fine line between maintaining its strategic partnership with Russia\, while mitigating downward pressure on relations with the European Union. China’s 12-point position paper is the latest sign of Beijing’s attempt to portray itself as a neutral party to the conflict in Ukraine. On the other hand\, China’s failure to use its influence on Russia to respect the UN Charter has cast doubt in Brussels on the sincerity of Beijing’s plan. Despite their differences\, China and the EU maintain common interests in promoting global trade and addressing challenges like climate change. How is Beijing’s position on the Ukraine war impacting China-EU relations? Can Brussels and Beijing cooperate on transnational issues\, while managing their differences? What role can Europe play in rising U.S.-China competition? Join Carnegie for a conversation featuring Dan Baer\, Chan Heng Chee\, Yawei Liu\, and Paul Haenle on the state of China-EU relations. This panel is the fourth 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:Unmanned aircraft systems: Lessons for Ukraine and NATO
DESCRIPTION:Atlantic Council |In-Person and Virtual \nDescription: Throughout Russia’s invasion\, Ukrainian forces have proven highly adaptative and innovative in their use of emerging technologies and concepts on the battlefield. Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) especially have been essential in Ukraine’s battlefield adaptation from delivering strikes to disorganize Russian lines of attack early in the war to enabling sensor platforms in Ukraine’s digitalized approach to combat. Looking ahead\, as Ukraine seeks to retake large swaths of territory and hold Russian positions at risk\, Ukraine’s requirements for UAS will also likely change. The panel discussion will address the role of UAS in Ukraine’s current operations and future capability requirements to conduct and sustain Ukraine’s defense against Russia\, including through critical support from NATO allies and Ukraine’s global partners. The panel will also seek to address larger questions for the future of UAS requirements for NATO allies and their role in NATO’s new defense and deterrence posture\, especially as the Alliance approaches its annual Summit in Vilnius\, Lithuania\, this July. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Reflecting on Rana Plaza: The Evolution of Corporate Engagement on Human Rights in Supply Chains since the 2013 disaster
DESCRIPTION:Center for Strategic & International Studies | In-Person & Virtual Event  \nDescription: The collapse of the Rana Plaza building in Bangladesh on April 24\, 2013 killed more than a thousand workers and injured over 2\,500. The disaster\, one of the worst industrial accidents on record\, raised the world’s awareness of the terrible working conditions faced by factory workers in the garment sector and catalyzed a landmark effort to empower workers and hold global brands accountable for health and safety practices in their supply chains. The repercussions of the disaster\, and the ensuing Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh\, have been felt far beyond that country and that sector. Efforts to reach binding agreements between workers and brands on a range of human rights issues have been launched in India\, Pakistan\, Lesotho\, and the United States\, and discussions are underway elsewhere. At this event\, experts from government\, industry\, and worker organizations will assess the impact of the Rana Plaza disaster and resulting efforts to expand corporate action to address human rights in supply chains\, progress made in the last ten years\, and what still needs to happen to ensure decent work for all workers in global supply chains. The event will be moderated by Marti Flacks (Khosravi Chair in Principled Internationalism and Director\, Human Rights Initiative) and feature Kelly Fay Rodríguez (Special Representative for International Labor Affairs\, Bureau of Democracy\, Human Rights\, and Labor\, U.S. Department of State)\, Michael Bride (Senior Vice President Corporate Responsibility\, Global Affairs\, PVH Corp.)\, and Scott Nova (Executive Director\, Worker Rights Consortium (WRC). Additional panelists to be announced. \nThe registration link can be found below.
