SUMMARY:October People\, Politics\, and Prose: Chip War
DESCRIPTION:Foreign Policy Research Institute | Online Event  \nToday\, military\, economic\, and geopolitical power are built on a foundation of computer chips.

In this month’s People\, Politics\, and Prose\, Chris Miller\, Director of FPRI’s Eurasia Program\, will join Ron Granieri to explore how the semiconductor came to play a critical role in modern life\, the current worldwide chip shortage\, and a new front in superpower rivalry.

SUMMARY:Afghanistan Under the Taliban and its Regional Impact
DESCRIPTION:The Stimson Center | Online Event \nAlmost fourteen months into resumed Taliban control of Afghanistan\, the Taliban’s state-building\, international commitments\, and relations with regional powers remain fluid. A dire humanitarian crisis grips the country. And skepticism of and disagreement on the Taliban’s human rights and counterterrorism assurances to the world have emerged. With the threat of ISKP and other groups\, the international community is closely watching the scope of the Taliban’s security operations and its ability to prevent regional instability. \nJoin us for a discussion to reflect on today’s Afghanistan and the role of key regional stakeholders\, including China\, Iran\, Pakistan\, Russia\, and the United States. Informed by recent trips to the region and stakeholder interviews\, Stimson’s Yun Sun\, Elizabeth Threlkeld\, and Barnett Rubin will present from-the-ground insights on the current situation in Afghanistan and its impact on broader regional dynamics.

SUMMARY:Towards a Pax Sinica: China’s Encroachment on South Asia and a Way Forward
DESCRIPTION:Institute of World Politics | In-Person Event \nAbout the Lecture: The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is at the core of Beijing’s strategy to dominate Eurasia and secure the Chinese Dream. Since its inception in 2013\, the BRI is a multi-trillion-dollar global critical infrastructure development strategy spanning across 139 nation-states. At the heart of the behemoth lies the flagship $62 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC)\, a 15-year geostrategic venture that commenced in 2015\, connecting the restive province of Xinjiang to the Arabian Sea. The immense investment in Pakistan resembles a corporate takeover by an outside financier. For its part\, Islamabad has accepted the buyout to develop economically and secure a reliable ally in its confrontation with India. \nBeijing’s overall mental map for the CPEC is marked by various Islamist and insurgency movements\, as well as manifold proxy wars instigated by outside actors\, which will hinder the reach of the corridor. The CPEC is also accompanied by a vital maritime component\, with the Mahanian notion of speedily procuring access to a string of ports for extended deployments in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). Compared to the first island chain\, the IOR remains less susceptible to external trade disruption\, owing to a lighter Western footprint. \nTo that end\, this lecture traces the geoeconomic and security implications of the CPEC and proposes the following conclusions: Pakistan’s internal challenges of governance and corruption will temper Chinese expectations to realize its vision; the extension of the CPEC into Afghanistan will be incumbent on the Taliban’s ability to establish a functional regime and provide a secure atmosphere for Chinese investments; regional opposition voices to the CPEC will grow stronger; the Sino-Iranian deal will enable China to diversify its source of energy from Russia; Russia will likely be incorporated in larger CPEC-related undertakings as a dominant Central Asian player; and the U.S. requires a new strategy alongside India\, the only viable South Asian partner and the world’s largest democracy\, to frustrate Chinese regional ambitions.

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:The NUG’s Economic War on Myanmar’s Military
DESCRIPTION:Stimson Center | In-Person & Online Event \nAs fighting drags on against Myanmar’s military\, the resistance movement led by the National Unity Government (NUG) is seeking new avenues to tip the balance. The military junta is facing economic hardship at home and abroad\, and increasingly key for the NUG is gaining an upper hand by leveraging its comparative economic advantages and exploiting the military junta’s vulnerabilities. \nJoin us to discuss one path forward for the NUG’s resistance movement. Dr. Zach Abuza\, an expert on Southeast Asia and insurgencies\, will discuss his recent Stimson policy paper outlining a roadmap ahead for Myanmar’s shadow government and the tactics outside observers should watch in this new phase of the war. Priscilla Clapp\, senior advisor to the U.S. Institute of Peace and former chargé d’affaires in Yangon\, will provide comments as discussant.

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.
