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.

SUMMARY:Nicholas Burns\, US Ambassador to China
DESCRIPTION:The Stimson Center | Virtual Event \nDescription: The United States’ relationship with China would be complex at any time\, but few periods have been more challenging than today. The two countries have notable disagreements over trade\, territorial claims\, human rights\, and the international order itself\, at a time when skepticism towards China’s role in the world seems to be one of the few areas of bipartisan consensus in DC. Central to managing the relationship is Ambassador Nicholas Burns\, Washington’s voice in Beijing\, who brings decades of public service experience to one of the most challenging diplomatic posts in the world since taking the oath of office in December 2021. Burns will be joined in discussion by the Stimson Center’s John Bellinger and Yun Sun. Sun leads Stimson’s China Program. Bellinger is a member of Stimson’s Board of Directors\, a former State Department and National Security Council legal advisor\, and Partner and Co-Chair of Global Law and Public Policy at Arnold & Porter. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Taiwan’s Economic Security: How is Chip Nationalism Affecting Taiwan?
DESCRIPTION:Stimson Center | In-Person & Online Event \nDescription: In the wake of the global chip shortage arising from the COVID-19 pandemic\, countries are painfully aware of the supply chain (in)security and rush for semiconductor self-sufficiency. Taiwan sits at the epicenter of this global chip crisis\, and it is worth exploring whether chip nationalism embraced by major countries undermines Taiwan’s economic security. Given that Taiwan is situated at the frontline for China to obtain cutting-edge chips and for the United States to contain China’s efforts in developing the indigenous semiconductor industry\, the panelists will discuss how Taiwan has responded to the CHIP4 initiative advanced by the United States and assess its effectiveness. \nRegistration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:How much money for defense is enough?
DESCRIPTION:The Brookings Institution | In-Person & Online Event \nDescription: The U.S. spends about $900 billion a year on defense\, which is about 15% of the federal budget\, or roughly 3.3% of the gross domestic product. Given all of today’s national security challenges—Russia\, China\, cybersecurity\, terrorism—is that enough\, more than enough\, or still not quite enough? Could the U.S. buy more security by spending the defense budget more efficiently? In an era of competing budget priorities and growing budget deficits\, what should the Pentagon’s priorities be? On Wednesday\, August 30 the Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy and the Strobe Talbott Center for Security\, Strategy\, and Technology will address those questions. Michael O’Hanlon\, a senior fellow\, director of the Talbott Center\, and a self-described “cheap hawk\,” will outline his views on how the Pentagon can improve America’s defense capabilities without large increases in spending. Following O’Hanlon’s presentation\, he will join a panel with Mackenzie Eaglen of AEI and Travis Sharp of the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments. David Wessel\, director of the Hutchins Center\, will moderate. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Time for choices in Niger
DESCRIPTION:Atlantic Council | Online Event  \nDescription: Niger and the international community face many choices on the direction of military intervention and governance. One month after the takeover of the Nigerien government by a military coup\, many questions linger for the international community. This event seeks to draw lessons from Niger’s economic hardships\, limited windows of democratic governance\, and assess how the latest coup will affect regional stability. West African states have to make a choice now about how they address this crisis\, which entered a new stage after ECOWAS issued a deadline for Niger to reverse the coup–and it lapsed. As African states and the world watch to see how they respond to the delicate situation\, the Atlantic Council’s Africa Center will be hosting a special event to explore what is currently happening in Niger and in West Africa overall. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Japan’s quiet leadership: Reshaping the Indo-Pacific
DESCRIPTION:The Brookings Institution | In-Person & Online Event \nDescription: Over the past three decades\, Japan has battled persistent economic stagnation\, reckoned with depopulation\, rising inequality\, voter disengagement\, and endured threats to Asia’s long peace. Remarkably\, Japan has emerged from its “lost decades” unscathed from the populist wave that today permeates several major democracies and as a far more consequential actor in the geopolitics of the Indo-Pacific. The country has reinvented itself as a network power to overcome the harsh realities of diminishing relative capabilities. How has Japan accomplished this reinvention? What lessons can be learned from how it has coped with slow growth\, adverse demographics\, adjustment to economic globalization\, and the emergence of a powerful and assertive China? And how can Japan handle the hurdles ahead? To address these and other questions\, Mireya Solís has authored a new book\, “Japan’s Quiet Leadership: Reshaping the Indo-Pacific\,” to be released on September 1\, 2023. On September 6\, the Center for East Asia Policy Studies will host Solís to discuss key findings from her book and a panel of experts to evaluate Japan’s evolving role and its impact on the Indo-Pacific region. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Next War Online: Using Cyber Games to Understand Emerging Threats
DESCRIPTION:Center for Strategic & International Studies | In-Person & Virtual Event  \nDescription: Please join the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) for a discussion on the importance of cyber wargames and exercises. As the cyber threat landscape continuous to evolve\, it has become difficult for public and private sector entities to adequately anticipate and prepare for different types of threats that might impact their networks and trust in their respective institutions. That’s where cyber games come in. Today’s cyber games not only help educate players about the nature of different types of threats\, but they also allow participants to clearly identify how they might adjust their real-world incident response plans to enhance resilience and mitigate the consequences of certain threats. The program will start with a presentation on a recent CSIS cyber exercise that was designed to show how different types of experts are thinking about future threats and challenges to federal networks. Following the presentation\, Dr. Ben Jensen (Senior Fellow for Gaming\, Future War\, and Strategy\, CSIS) will moderate a panel that will showcase the advancements in cyber game design and the importance of these exercises to government\, industry and academia. The panel will include Dr. Nina Kollars (Associate Professor\, Cyber and Innovation Policy Institute\, U.S. Naval War College)\, Dr. Jacquelyn Schneider (Director\, Wargaming and Crisis Simulation Initiative\, Hoover Institution)\, and Yasir Atalan (Researcher\, CSIS). Emily Harding (Deputy Director and Senior Fellow\, International Security Program\, CSIS) will deliver closing remarks. \nThe registration link can be found below.
