SUMMARY:Negotiating Israel-Lebanon Maritime Borders
DESCRIPTION:United States Institute of Peace | In-Person and Virtual Event \nDescription: In October 2022\, after more than ten years of negotiations across three administrations\, Israel\, Lebanon and the United States announced that an agreement had been reached between Israel and Lebanon on each country’s maritime border. The agreement opens the door for economic and energy development and — at least in the minds of the optimistic — offers the potential for further changes in Israel and Lebanon’s hostile bilateral relationship. The agreement has been lauded for resolving an issue between two countries in conflict with one-another and serves as an example of pragmatism and mutual-benefit overriding long-term hostility. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:The Economic Costs of Russia’s War Against Ukraine: Views from Kyiv’s Expert Community
DESCRIPTION:Carnegie Endowment for International Peace | In-Person Virtual Event \nDescription: As we near the anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine\, the economic effects of the war are staggering. Relentless Russian attacks against Ukrainian cities and critical infrastructure have substantially raised the costs of recovery and reconstruction. And despite unprecedented Western economic sanctions\, there are few signs that Moscow is struggling to fund its war machine. What are the key attributes of a sustainable long-term strategy for supporting Ukraine while increasing pressure on the Kremlin? \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Building Peace from the Inside Out A Conversation About Sierra Leone’s Fambul Tok Program and the Transformative Power of Locally-Led Solutions
DESCRIPTION:United States Institute of Peace | Virtual Event \nDescription: Our world urgently needs locally-led approaches to advance peace and development. Today’s international aid system is stretched thin\, as needs reach record highs. Assistance often continues to hinder local leadership\, failing to build on the local resources within communities that form the bedrock of effective social change. Although research consistently shows that peacebuilding is more successful when done by the people most impacted\, many operational challenges stand in the way of implementing a new development approach. Sierra Leone’s community reconciliation program\, Fambul Tok\, offers a unique model for building peace ‘from the inside out’ and can help us to reimagine the top-down approaches that have too often failed to end violent conflicts. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Understanding Kim Jong Un’s Economic Policymaking Phase II: Results and Implications

SUMMARY:Assessing the Future of US Iran-Policy Amidst Popular Uprising
DESCRIPTION:Schar School of Policy and Government\, George Mason University | IN-Person \nDescription: How should US Iran-Policy be reframed in light of recent political events there\, namely the uprisings and revolutionary movement\, and vis-a-vis Russo-Iranian collaboration in Ukraine and Iran. This forum seeks to inform the general public\, academics and policy-makers about the current state of events in Iran and their implications for regional and international political and security spheres. With that in mind\, how should the Biden administration and Congress adjust Iran-focused policies\, including its sanctions regime and nuclear talks\, and what should the US ask of its allies and international partners? \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Russia’s Road to War with Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:Stimson Center | Virtual Event \nDescription: Tracing the relationship between the two countries from the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 to Putin’s invasion in 2022\, what emerges from Samir Puri’s book\, Russia’s Road to War with Ukraine\, is a portrait of a nation caught in a geopolitical tug of war between Russia and the West. While Russia is identified as the sole aggressor\, we see how Western bodies such as the EU and NATO unrealistically raised Ukraine’s expectations of membership before dashing them\, leaving Ukraine without formal allies and fatally exposed to Russian aggression. \nAs a former international observer\, Samir Puri was present for several of the major events covered in his book. He uses this experience to ask honestly: how did we get here? Why does Vladimir Putin view Ukraine as the natural property of Russia? Did the West handle its dealings with these countries prudently? Or did it inflame the tensions left amidst the ruins of the Soviet Union? Were there any missed opportunities to avert the war? And how might this conflict end? \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Unpacking the Politics of Opposition in South Asia
DESCRIPTION:Carnegie Endowment for International Peace | Virtual Event \nDescription: While voters across South Asia were once optimistic about the future of democracy\, recent political setbacks in the region have dampened these hopes. However\, most accounts of democratic backsliding focus on the strategies and tactics of regime incumbents\, leaving little room for close study of opposition forces. In a new Carnegie South Asia report\, The Politics of Opposition in South Asia\, a group of scholars attempts to fill this analytical gap by focusing on the diverse array of opposition forces at work. Exploring a range of cases—from citizen protests in Sri Lanka to armed groups in Pakistan and street movements in Nepal—this report argues that opposition forces can help explain regime behavior as well as inform the possibilities of democratic renewal. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Backfire: The Global Ripple Effects of U.S. Sanctions
DESCRIPTION:Carnegie Endowment for International Peace | Virtual Event \nDescription: Sanctions have become the go-to foreign policy tool for the United States. Coercive economic measures such as trade tariffs\, financial penalties\, and export controls affect large numbers of companies and states across the globe. But while U.S. policymakers see sanctions as a low-cost tactic\, these measures also have potent side effects that\, in some cases\, can even harm American interests. In her new book Backfire\, Agathe Demarais explores the surprising ways sanctions affect multinational companies\, governments\, and ultimately millions of people around the world. Drawing on interviews with experts\, policymakers\, and people in sanctioned countries\, she examines the unintended consequences of the use of sanctions as a diplomatic weapon. \nThe registration link can be found below.
