DESCRIPTION:Michael V. Hayden Center | In-Person & Virtual \nWHO: \n\n\nJonna Mendez\, former Chief of Disguise\, Central Intelligence Agency\, and author\nModerator: David Priess\, Senior Fellow\, Michael V. Hayden Center for Intelligence\, Policy\, and International Security\n\n\nWHAT: IN TRUE FACE: A CONVERSATION WITH JONNA          MENDEZ\n\nWHEN: Thursday\, April 25\, 2024\, 7:00 pm E\n\nWHERE: Van Metre Hall Auditorium at Mason Square\, 3351 Fairfax Dr\, Arlington\, Virginia & YouTube livestream\n\nREGISTER: https://signup.e2ma.net/signup/1999738/1968319/\n\nJoin the Michael V. Hayden Center for Intelligence\, Policy\, and International Security on April 25th at 7 pm for an intimate conversation between Jonna Mendez\, who served as Chief of Disguise at the Central Intelligence Agency\, and Hayden Center senior fellow David Priess. Mendez\, author of the new memoir In True Face: A Woman’s Life in the CIA Unmasked (2024)\, began her career at the CIA as a “contract wife\,” performing secretarial duties for the CIA as a convenience to her husband\, and eventually rose to management within the Office of Technical Services.\n\nThroughout her 27-year career at the CIA\, Mendez navigated the gendered culture of sexism while never wavering in her patriotism and witnessed the effect this gendered culture had on the women who served at the CIA and the overall mission. Her experience includes overseeing disguise operations throughout the Cold War in hostile environments from Moscow to Havana to Beijing\, and later taking cutting-edge technology into the Oval Office! \nSince retiring more than 20 years ago\, Mendez has contributed greatly to the development of the International Spy Museum and has cowritten books like The Moscow Rules (2019)\, ARGO (2012)\, and Spy Dust (2002). \nThose who attend our event in person will have the opportunity to speak directly with this remarkable intelligence officer and get a signed copy of In True Face. \nThere will be time for audience questions. The event will be recorded and posted on our website and YouTube channel. Immediately following the event\, there will be a reception for all in-person attendees on the Mason Square Plaza. \n\nThe Hayden Center is located at George Mason University‘s Schar School of Policy and Government in Arlington\, VA. General Hayden\, our founder\, has been a distinguished visiting professor at Schar School for 15 years. David Priess\, Director of Intelligence for Bedrock Learning\, former publisher of Lawfare & chief operating officer of the Lawfare Institute\, author\, and a former CIA analyst and briefer\, has also taught at the Schar School. \n\nFor more about the Hayden Center\, visit our website at haydencenter.gmu.edu.

SUMMARY:Report launch: The sixth domain and the role of the private sector
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council | In-Person & Virtual Event \nDescription: The United States and its allies and partners have laid out five operational domains for wartime—air\, land\, maritime\, cyberspace\, and space—but Russia’s war in Ukraine has revealed a sixth domain: the “sphere of activities” of the private sector. What is an effective strategy for the private sector in wartime\, and why is developing this strategy critical for the effectiveness of US and allied militaries? Please join the Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security for the launch of the report “The sixth domain: The role of the private sector in warfare\,” on Friday\, April 26\, 2024\, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. ET. This event will discuss how policymakers can forge a more constructive US government-private sector relationship for wartime and integrate the private sector as the missing sixth operational domain. \nIt will feature welcome remarks from Clementine G. Starling\, director of the Atlantic Council’s Forward Defense program\, and keynote remarks from Jen Easterly\, director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency\, followed by a panel discussion with Franklin D. Kramer\, distinguished fellow and board director at the Atlantic Council; Greg Little\, senior counselor at Palantir Technologies; Emma Schroeder\, associate director\, Cyber Statecraft Initiative at the Atlantic Council; and Leonor Tomero\, vice president for government relations at JA Green & Company\, moderated by Marjorie Censer\, editor of Defense News.

SUMMARY:Populist Leaders and Foreign Policy: Sovereigntism on the Rise?
DESCRIPTION:German Marshall Fund | Virtual event \nDescription: In recent times\, populist leaders and parties have gained increasing prominence on the international scene\, from President Donald Trump in the United States to Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his Fidesz party or Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and her Fratelli d’Italia. Beyond the domestic scene\, their influence on their countries’ foreign relations is also growing. Scholars have traditionally focused on the effects of populism on domestic politics and policy\, but newer academic inquiry is increasingly interested in the foreign policy implications of populist leadership. The working paper titled “Populist Leaders and Foreign Policy Rhetoric: A Comparative Study of Hungary and Austria” presented at this discussion examines the national security strategy documents of Austria and Hungary\, as well as of parliamentary debates and public speeches of populist actors\, to ascertain whether there has been an increase in sovereigntist foreign policy rhetoric in these countries. Through a mixed methods analysis\, the research assessed whether there are similarities in Austria and Hungary in foreign policy communication on topics such as immigration\, the EU\, and Russia. Beyond exploring changes in the foreign policy rhetoric of populists\, the discussion will also touch on the international policy implications of such actors assuming power in Europe and beyond. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:A back-to-business birthday: Priorities for the 2024 NATO Summit in Washington
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council | In-Person & Virtual Event \nDescription: Please join the Atlantic Council’s Transatlantic Security Initiative\, in the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security\, for a hybrid public event evaluating priorities for the milestone NATO Summit taking place in Washington\, DC\, this summer. Held in partnership with the Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of Lithuania\, this event will take place on Monday\, April 29\, from 9:45 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. ET at the  Atlantic Council’s headquarters (1030 15th St NW\, 12th Floor\, Washington\, DC 20005) and virtually. As NATO accelerates preparations for its 75th Anniversary Summit taking place in Washington this July\, the transatlantic alliance will have much to celebrate. The accession of Finland and Sweden has added two highly-capable militaries to NATO’s roster. Allies bolstered NATO’s regional force posture and readiness with the adoption of a new suite of defense plans. And after decades of underinvestment\, NATO’s European allies have ramped up defense spending in support of Ukraine and in recognition of the mounting Russian threat. These causes for celebration are\, however\, juxtaposed with a deteriorating security environment and a collection of unfinished business from last year’s Vilnius Summit. Securing the future of the world’s most successful military alliance will require this year’s Summit to be one of implementation. NATO will be expected to take action to improve the under-equipped state of its defense industrial base\, to reinforce its vulnerable eastern flank\, and to demonstrate executability of its defense plans while also preparing for a new slate of challenges cutting across domains and beyond the military alliance’s traditional area of responsibility. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Strengthening U.S. Critical Minerals Security: A Fireside Conversation with Frank Fannon
DESCRIPTION:Center for Strategic and International Studies | Virtual Event \nDescription: Critical minerals are foundational for national\, economic and energy security. Historically\, the United States was one of the world’s leading mining jurisdictions. But over the last three decades\, it has been bypassed by China\, which has positioned minerals at the center of its domestic industrial strategy and foreign policy. Today\, China is the dominant player in global mineral production and processing. The need to address U.S. critical minerals shortfalls has become a key bipartisan priority Frank Fannon\, Inaugural Assistant Secretary of State\, Bureau of Energy Resources (2018-2021)\, will join Gracelin Baskaran\, Director\, Project on Critical Minerals Security\, CSIS\, to discuss a stocktake of U.S. critical minerals policies and outcomes\, whether the Inflation Reduction Act and Foreign Entity of Concern rules are providing adequate carrots and sticks to achieve its goals\, and what more could and should the U.S. do. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Climate Diplomacy in South Asia: Transboundary Challenges\, Collective Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Stimson Center | Virtual Event \nDescription: Climate change has no borders. In the face of escalating climate-induced vulnerabilities and transboundary disasters\, South Asian states find themselves at a crossroads where regional cooperation is imperative for effective adaptation and mitigation. From the interconnected challenges of managing transboundary water resources to addressing the urgent issue of climate-induced migration\, the region faces a complex web of geopolitical\, socio-economic\, and environmental hurdles. Despite shared vulnerabilities and similar institutional frameworks\, structural barriers such as data secrecy and outdated agreements often hinder the path toward meaningful cooperation. Entrenched geopolitical rivalry plays an enormous role in perpetuating these barriers\, but there are feasible steps each country can take to overcome them. South Asian Voices collaborated with The Third Pole on a series aimed at igniting dialogue and action for a more collaborative approach to combating climate change in South Asia. In this event\, authors of the series will reflect on their recent contributions to SAV. From examining transboundary approaches to tackling climate migration\, water sharing\, and disaster management\, the panel will discuss key challenges to effective regional cooperation and identify concrete ways forward. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Pivotal States: Russia and U.S. Global Strategy
DESCRIPTION:Carnegie Endowment for International Peace | Virtual event \nDescription: Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine has brought bilateral relations with the United States to their lowest point since the Cuban missile crisis. Yet Russia remains a global actor that holds immense sway over a wide variety of other U.S. foreign policy priorities\, including strategic competition with China\, challenges with Iran and North Korea\, and safeguarding the health of the global economy. Faced with this new reality\, how can U.S. policymakers support security in Europe while also making progress on their other foreign policy objectives where Russia matters? And with Vladimir Putin claiming to be at war with the West\, how might the United States avert catastrophe with Russia? \nPlease join the director of the Carnegie Endowment’s American Statecraft Program\, Christopher S. Chivvis\, for an in-person edition of the Pivotal States series and a discussion of Washington’s strategic alternatives in its policy toward Russia with Fiona Hill and Andrew S. Weiss. The event will also stream concurrently on the Carnegie Endowment’s YouTube channel. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:North American Economic Security in an Era of Geopolitical Uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:Center for Strategic and International Studies | In-Person & Virtual event \nDescription:Join the Americas Program and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce for a discussion on the opportunities to strengthen North American economic security in an era of geopolitical uncertainty. The economies of the United States\, Canada\, and Mexico\, are highly integrated and underpinned by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Together\, Canada\, the United States\, and Mexico comprise almost a third of global GDP. As governments and companies alike increasingly prioritize economic resilience and security in response to larger geopolitical forces\, there are significant opportunities for enhancing cross-continent trade and investment to the mutual benefit of all three countries. This event will bring together former trade negotiators from the three USMCA countries who will discuss the state of North American cooperation and integration as well as opportunities and challenges in the lead up to the 2026 USMCA review. It will also investigate the growing relevance of North American economic security as a shared policy objective\, delve into the political context\, pathways to greater economic integration\, as well as the major risks and opportunities facing businesses\, among other key issues. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Transnational Organized Crime in Southeast Asia
DESCRIPTION:United States Institute of Peace | In-Person Event \nDescription: Southeast Asia has become a major breeding ground for transnational criminal networks emanating from China. These organizations operate illegal and unregulated online gambling and sophisticated scamming operations that steal an estimated $64 billion a year from millions of victims around the world. Their compounds — which frequently resemble penal institutions due to their reliance on forced labor — are often established in partnership with powerful local elites\, sometimes in urban centers of countries with weak or corrupt governance. From their foothold in Southeast Asia\, these criminal networks are increasingly building a presence elsewhere in the world\, with signs that they seek connectivity with organized criminal groups globally. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Strengthening the middleground of the defense-industrial landscape
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council | In-Person & Virtual Event \nDescription: Please join the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security’s Forward Defense program for the next event in the Captains of Industry series titled “Strengthening the middleground of the defense-industrial landscape” on Monday\, May 13\, 2024\, from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET at the Atlantic Council headquarters and via livestream. This event features a moderated discussion about the role middleground companies play to strengthen the defense-industrial ecosystem\, with John Goodman\, Chief Executive Officer\, Accenture Federal Services\, William J. Lynn III\, Chairman Chief Executive Officer of Leonardo DRS\, and Ellen M. Lord\, former Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition & Sustainment. The Pentagon’s National Defense Industrial Strategy (NDIS) expresses the imperative of “strengthening and modernizing our defense industrial base ecosystem” and sets priorities for meeting those challenges. In ecology\, middleground is the land which buffers and intermediates the needs of pristine nature and human-dominated spaces. So too\, in a healthy defense-industrial ecosystem\, do companies occupying the middleground between ubiquitous small companies and preponderant big ones play important\, salutary roles. The captains of industry assembled for this event will discuss issues that face these middleground companies\, and how public policies and corporate strategies can address them. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:The Red Zone: Charting Paths to Resilience in the Climate-Conflict Nexus
DESCRIPTION:Center for Strategic and International Studies | In-Person & Virtual event \nDescription: The interplay between climate change and conflict has exacerbated humanitarian crisis and human insecurity globally. In an era marked by rising temperatures\, water scarcity\, and protracted conflict–from the arid landscapes of the Middle East to land degradation of Sub-Saharan Africa–the impact of climate shocks and violence is unmistakable and costly. The humanitarian sector must respond to the gravest needs while navigating the complex terrain of climate adaptation in crisis-affected regions\, overcoming funding barriers\, and bolstering resilience against climate variability. It is imperative that the international community mobilizes resources and implements robust strategies to address these intertwined challenges\, ensuring the protection and well-being of vulnerable communities. The Washington Humanitarian Forum 2024 will feature conversations at the intersection of climate change\, conflict\, and finance. The intersection of these crises magnifies vulnerabilities\, leaving populations even more susceptible to extreme weather events and increased violence. The conference will spotlight this nexus and emphasize the imperative for swift and substantial climate financing to bolster resilience and alleviate human suffering. Join us as we explore innovative climate solutions\, forge new partnerships between sectors\, and advocate for urgent policy action to address the pressing challenges of climate change and conflict on a global scale. \nThe registration link can be found below.
