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: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: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:The Belt and Road Initiative at 10: Challenges and Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Center for Strategic and International Studies | Virtual Event \nDescription: Launched in 2013 by Xi Jinping\, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is China’s flagship overseas investment project\, encompassing agreements with over 150 countries and summing to around $1 trillion in projects.

The panel will include Yunnan Chen\, Research Fellow in Development and Public Finance programme at ODI\, Manoj Kewalramani\, Senior Associate (Non-resident) with the Freeman Chair in China Studies and Chairperson of the Indo-Pacific Research Programme\, and China studies fellow at the Takshashila Institution\, and Henry Tugendhat\, economist with the China team at the U.S. Institute of Peace. Lily McElwee\, Deputy Director and Fellow with the Freeman Chair in China Studies\, will moderate the discussion. \nThe registration link can be found below.

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.
