SUMMARY:Rising to the Moment - Launching USAID's new Bureau for Democracy\, Human Rights\, and Governance
DESCRIPTION:Center For Strategic & International Studies | In-Person Event \nDescription: Please join the CSIS Project on Prosperity and Development and the CSIS Human Rights Initiative\, in collaboration with USAID’s new Democracy\, Human Rights and Governance (DRG) Bureau\, on Tuesday\, October 3 from 3:00 – 4:15 PM ET for an engaging panel discussion featuring DRG leaders on the launch of the Bureau at this pivotal moment. The event will include keynote remarks from the DRG Bureau’s Assistant to the Administrator\, Shannon N Green\, followed by a panel that will explore ongoing challenges to democracy\, rights\, and governance priorities and how to holistically embrace DRG principles and practices in U.S. foreign policy and development assistance. Democracies are confronting serious challenges from within and across their borders\, and the U.S. Government must be bold and intentional in its response. Rising authoritarianism\, democratic backsliding\, rapid technological adoption\, rampant disinformation\, transnational corruption\, growing inequality\, the COVID pandemic\, and malign actions by Russia and China have all dramatically changed the development landscape and created significant democracy-\, rights- and governance-related challenges around the world.  USAID is working to modernize programming and adapt to meet many of these challenges\, including through the establishment of the Agency’s new Bureau for Democracy\, Human Rights\, and Governance\, an elevation intended to better advance a world where freedom is flourishing\, and democracy is delivering. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:A strategic posture for a new era: Introducing the Congressional Strategic Posture report
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council | In-Person and Virtual Event \nDescription: Please join the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security’s Forward Defense program for a hybrid public event: “A strategic posture for a new era: Introducing the Congressional Strategic Posture Commission report.” This discussion will be held on Friday\, October 20\, from 3:00–5:00 p.m. ET at the Atlantic Council headquarters (1030 15th Street\, NW\, 12th Floor\, Washington\, DC 20005) and via Zoom. The final report of the Strategic Posture Commission comes at at time when the United States faces growing challenges in the international security environment that may undermine existing US nuclear deterrence strategy and policy. Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine\, transfer of nuclear weapons to Belarus\, and persistent arsenal of nonstrategic nuclear weapons pose security threats to the United States as well as its allies and partners.With the pending expiration of New START in 2026\, and with Russia’s noncompliance of the treaty today\, the future of arms control is in question. Meanwhile\, China\, the pacing challenge for the Department of Defense\, is on track to expand its nuclear arsenal severalfold over the coming years\, presenting the United States with the novel challenge of simultaneous deterrence of nuclear near peers. Meanwhile\, the nuclear challenge from North Korea and the potential of an Iranian nuclear breakout continue to vex policymakers in Washington and beyond. This event will feature remarks from Congressional Commission Chair Madelyn Creedon and Vice Chair Jon Kyl\, as well as an expert panel. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:China’s standing in the Global South: Takeaways from the Belt and Road Forum
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council | Virtual Event \nDescription: This October\, China will host its annual Belt and Road Initiative Global Forum in Beijing\, marking BRI’s ten-year anniversary. In the past decade\, the BRI has become a flagship strategy of the PRC’s involvement in the Global South. China has already spent roughly $1 trillion dollars on the BRI\, and more than 150 countries and 30 international organizations have joined the Initiative. This year’s forum is being advertised by Beijing as an important platform to discuss BRI cooperation and as the culmination of the BRI’s 10-year anniversary celebrations. This virtual panel will discuss key takeaways from the BRI Global Forum and evaluate China’s current standing with the Global South. The panel will also discuss some of the findings from Global China Hub’s Nonresident Senior Fellow Michael Schuman’s latest report\, “Why China won’t win the Global South\,” which outlines the shortcomings of China’s efforts to garner support from the Global South and what this means for the US and its allies and partners. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:The third-party problem: Countering sanctions circumvention
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council | Virtual Event \nDescription: In response to the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022\, the European Union (EU) in close coordination with its like-minded partners and allies has imposed unprecedented sanctions. To date\, eleven packages have been approved\, targeting 245 entities and 1\,550 individuals and covering a wide range of key sectors\, goods and services. Likewise\, the United States has imposed over 3\,000 sanctions on Russia with the intent of weakening Moscow’s ability to wage war and depressing its export income. Sanctions are having a very tangible impact with Russia losing crucial revenue and growing desperate to procure a wide range of goods. Nevertheless\, Western goods and components continue finding their way to Russia\, albeit through increasingly complex routes and schemes. To that end\, sanctions coordinators from the EU and the United States have engaged in extensive outreach\, sometimes jointly\, with Türkiye\, the United Arab Emirates\, Kyrgyzstan\, Kazakhstan\, Uzbekistan\, Armenia\, Georgia and Serbia. How extensive is sanctions circumvention\, and how is the cooperation with third countries going? What is the role of US and EU companies in broader circumvention patterns and what can be done to stop this? What are feasible steps to strengthen compliance\, and should such measures look to convince or coerce? And how should the EU\, US\, and their partners coordinate their response?Finally\, how should Western allies and partners engage China\, which is estimated to supply around seventy percent of high-tech products of military capability to Russia? What additional steps should we consider to ensure compliance across new and existing measures? \nJoin us at 9:30 am on October 23 for an expert panel discussion with Ambassador David O’Sullivan\, International Special Envoy for the Implementation of EU Sanctions\, and James O’Brien\, Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs and former Head of the Office of Sanctions Coordination at the US Department of State. This conversation is moderated by Kimberly Donovan\, Director of the Economic Statecraft Initiative at the Atlantic Council. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:The war in Israel and Gaza
DESCRIPTION:The Brookings Institute | Virtual Event \nDescription: On October 7\, Hamas launched an unprecedented assault on southern Israel\, killing at least 1\,400 Israelis and taking as many as 200 hostages to Gaza\, including children and the elderly. Israel has since mobilized for full-scale war\, and heavy bombardment has killed thousands and displaced many more in the Gaza Strip as rocket fire toward Israel continues. On the Lebanon-Israel border\, Hezbollah has attacked Israeli posts numerous times\, as Iran and Hezbollah warn that they may join the war and open a second front. Amid the turmoil\, President Joe Biden visited the region on October 18 to reinforce staunch U.S. support for Israel. His plans for a wider summit with key Arab leaders were scuttled by the explosion at Gaza’s Al Ahli Hospital which resulted in hundreds of deaths. On October 23\, the Center for Middle East Policy at Brookings will host a virtual event about the crisis. Experts will discuss the Israeli military operation and its aims\, the ramifications of the escalating violence on the Middle East more broadly\, and ongoing U.S. diplomatic efforts to manage this volatile conflict. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Why the Global South has a stake in dialogues on AI governance
DESCRIPTION:The Brookings Institute | Virtual Event \nDescription: The United States and the European Union (EU) have been at the forefront of debates surrounding the regulation\, oversight\, and guidance of responsible artificial intelligence (AI). This summer\, the EU passed the first piece of artificial intelligence regulation\, the AI Act\, which classifies AI systems by risk and mandates requirements around development and use. In 2022\, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy published the Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights which lays out five protections in the design\, development\, and deployment of AI and other automated technologies. However\, largely absent from these conversations are members of the Global South\, which include the African Union\, Latin America\, the Caribbean\, and India. These regions are having their own conversations around responsible AI governance that can inform trans-Atlantic dialogues. Debates focused on AI regulation from these diasporas can also shed light on the geopolitical components and complexities of global governance policies. On October 23\, join the Center for Technology Innovation at Brookings for a discussion with leading experts representing the Global South to learn more about how they are approaching AI governance and advancing responsible and explainable AI frameworks that are trustworthy for individual users\, organizations and government. CTI Director and Senior Fellow Nicol Turner Lee will moderate the discussion. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:HIV/AIDS and Pandemic Preparedness: PEPFAR’s Role in Advancing Global Health Security
DESCRIPTION:Center for Strategic and International Studies | Virtual Event \nDescription: The U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) has been recognized as one of the most successful U.S. foreign assistance programs in American history. By partnering with governments and civil society in affected countries since 2003\, PEPFAR has supported the delivery of critical treatment and prevention services to people living with and at risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)\, saving 25 million lives and preventing millions of HIV infections across the globe. In training health workers\, strengthening laboratory capabilities\, and fortifying supply chains\, PEPFAR’s investments have helped strengthen local health systems and prepared partner countries to respond to other health threats\, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ebola outbreak in Uganda in 2022. Please join the CSIS Bipartisan Alliance for Global Health Security on Monday\, October 23rd from 4:30 to 5:45 PM ET online for a conversation highlighting opportunities for the United States to deepen its support for aligned approaches to HIV and pandemic preparedness and response and to lead global partners in recognizing the importance of integrating HIV and global health security and diplomacy efforts.

SUMMARY:After the EU-US Summit: What’s next for international cooperation on industrial decarbonization?
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council | Virtual Event \nDescription: Please join the Atlantic Council Global Energy Center and Climate Advisers virtually on Tuesday\, October 24 from 9:30 – 10:30 am ET for an expert discussion on strengthening international cooperation on trade policies to enable decarbonization of heavy industry. During the discussion\, panelists will also address the outcomes of the EU-US Leaders Summit\, scheduled for October 20\, related to the harmonization of trade of emissions-intensive goods. With the conclusion of the negotiations for the Global Arrangement on Sustainable Steel and Aluminum approaching\, the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism entering its transition phase\, and an increase in domestic green industrial subsidies\, there is growing need to align standards for low-carbon industrial production and harmonize trade policies in order to prevent overcapacity and ensure a level playing field\, ultimately contributing to global emissions reductions. While the EU and US are making promising strides towards industrial decarbonization and climate-aligned trade policies\, it is imperative to coordinate with major heavy industry producing countries to achieve climate objectives. Ensuring that EU-US negotiations result in solutions that can be extended globally will be critical in fostering international cooperation that transcends the transatlantic relationship. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:How Creative Diplomacy Prevented an Oil Disaster on Yemen’s Coast
DESCRIPTION:The United States Institute of Peace | Virtual Event \nDescription: In August 2023\, the U.N. completed an operation to remove 1.1 million oil barrels onboard the FSO Safer\, a decaying oil supertanker off Yemen’s Red Sea coast. The FSO Safer had been abandoned ever since civil war broke out in Yemen\, leaving it at risk for a significant oil spill that would have resulted in environmental\, economic and humanitarian catastrophes and required tens of billions of dollars in estimated clean-up costs. The United States played a key role in the FSO Safer operation\, which has been lauded for its creative\, behind-the-scenes diplomacy and serves as a model for preventing future crises and coordinating across the international system. Join USIP for a conversation with U.S. Special Envoy for Yemen Tim Lenderking to unpack the FSO Safer operation. The discussion will highlight the innovative diplomacy approaches taken and shed light on how the operation could serve as a model for reinvigorated American soft power in the Middle East going forward. Special Envoy Lenderking will also speak on the FSO Safer operation in the broader context of Yemen’s peace effort. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Debriefing the US-EU Summit
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council | Virtual Event \nDescription: Please join the Atlantic Council’s Europe Center for a virtual public event to debrief the US-EU Summit. This discussion will take place over Zoom on Tuesday\, October 24 at 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. ET. On Friday\, October 20\, European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen head to the White House for an official US-EU Summit to showcase the strength of the transatlantic relationship. Washington and Brussels have both prioritized the transatlantic relationship across a range of policy areas\, and the Summit comes at a critical time for the United States and Europe. Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine continues into its 20th month\, with Ukraine’s counteroffensive relying on much-needed US and European support. Growing concern and alignment on China have led both Washington and Brussels to embrace “de-risking” strategies. And despite the significant improvement in relations\, remaining trade irritants over steel and aluminum and green technology subsidies must still be resolved. The Summit also comes as the political outlook on both sides of the Atlantic becomes increasingly uncertain with elections in the United States and Europe scheduled for next year. The Summit will be an important opportunity to set the relationship on stable footing in light of uncertain political and economic perspectives. Against this backdrop\, the Atlantic Council’s Europe Center will discuss the outcomes of the Summit\, debrief its major deliverables\, and unpack the implications for the future of the US-EU relationship. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Closing the Latino wealth gap: Examining regional differences in Latino communities
DESCRIPTION:The Brookings Institute | Virtual Event \nDescription: Latinos play an important role in shaping the U.S. economy. As one of the fastest-growing demographic groups in the country\, Latinos have very high labor participation rates\, and the number of Latinos who own homes has been steadily increasing for years. Latino-owned employer businesses continue to outpace white-owned employer businesses and U.S. businesses in general in terms of revenue growth\, with the nearly 5 million Latino-owned businesses contributing over $800 billion annually to the U.S. economy. Moreover\, by some estimates\, Latino wealth has grown by an average of about 7% annually for the past 20 years. Yet the financial well-being of many Latino families does not reflect many of these economic contributions\, and the underlying causes of the wealth gap between Latino and white families are often misunderstood or understudied. On Tuesday\, October 24\, Brookings Metro will host an event in partnership with the Latino Policy Forum examining the Latino wealth gap and how to close it. The event will highlight the findings from an upcoming report (co-authored with the Latino Policy Forum) that studies Latino wealth\, assets\, and debt in six states (Illinois\, California\, Texas\, New York\, Florida\, and North Carolina). The event will also feature remarks from Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.)\, as well as a panel of experts discussing why regional diversity matters for understanding Latino wealth and how to close the wealth gap through asset building\, eliminating debt\, transferring intergenerational wealth\, accessing financial networks\, and other factors that lead to achieving income and job stability. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Implementing the 2022 National Defense Strategy: A conversation with Mara Karlin
DESCRIPTION:The Brookings Institute | Virtual Event \nDescription: October 27\, 2023 marks the anniversary of the Biden administration’s release of the 2022 National Defense Strategy (NDS). The strategy provides a roadmap for how the United States will advance its interests and meet the challenges of this “decisive decade.” It prominently features the concepts of integrated deterrence and campaigning\, highlights the importance of working closely with allies and partners\, and prioritizes the acute challenge posed by Russia and\, much more significantly\, the pacing challenge posed by China. Looking back over the past year\, to what degree have the Department of Defense’s (DOD) implementation efforts proven effective? How closely aligned are the DOD’s resource allocation and prioritized objectives in practice? What are the implications of the pronounced focus on China for the decisions the DOD must make concerning other key regions and transboundary challenges? On October 24\, the Strobe Talbott Center for Security\, Strategy\, and Technology at Brookings will host former Brookings scholar Mara Karlin\, performing the duties of deputy under secretary of defense for policy\, to reflect on the NDS and assess the DOD’s implementation successes and the challenges the department still faces since its release. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:What will it take for the EU to enlarge?
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council | Virtual Event \nDescription: Please join the Atlantic Council’s Europe Center for a virtual public event “What will it take for the EU to enlarge?” This discussion will take place over Zoom on Friday\, October 27 at 8:30 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. ET. The enlargement of the European Union has once again been reinvigorated as a geopolitical necessity since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Since the invasion\, the European Council has granted candidacy status to Ukraine and Moldova and reiterated support for Georgia’s European perspective. Countries in the Western Balkans\, long in Europe’s waiting room for membership\, have also found their EU aspirations bolstered as well. The debate over the widening of the EU cannot happen in a vacuum\, experts and officials alike argue\, and any discussion over the EU’s enlargement must come with discussion of EU reform. Many EU leaders argue core elements of the EU’s structure and decision-making process must be adapted before the bloc grows to thirty-plus members. With this newfound geopolitical urgency\, officials and experts have put greater emphasis on developing proposals to prepare the EU for enlargement\, including with a report and proposals by a Franco-German working group on EU institutional reform. But consensus among the EU’s twenty-seven members on the path forward remains unclear. As a close partner of the United States\, the EU’s reform and enlargement carries important implications not just for Brussels or capitals of candidate countries\, but for the transatlantic relationship as well. What should US policymakers know about EU enlargement\, and how will it affect the US-EU relationship? Can the EU be ready to take on new members\, and what are the geopolitical ramifications of action or inaction? How will reform and enlargement of the EU change the bloc’s geopolitical ambitions? Join the Atlantic Council to unpack the importance of the debate over EU reform and enlargement with EU experts and members of the Franco-German working group on institutional EU reform\, among others. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Conflict: The Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:The Hudson Institute | In-Person Event \nDescription: With the eruption of war in the Middle East and Europe and tensions flaring in the Taiwan Strait\, the American-led international system seems to be at an inflection point. The number of geopolitical flashpoints from the Sahel to the South China Sea is increasing at an alarming rate\, and many are beginning to doubt the United States’ ability to deter hostile\, revisionist powers across the globe. Join Hudson Distinguished Fellow Walter Russell Mead for a discussion with critically acclaimed historian Andrew Roberts and General David Petraeus on their new book Conflict: The Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to Ukraine\, which provides a penetrating analysis of the last 70 years of military history\, highlighting many of the critical lessons that we should draw from past wars. This insightful text helps explain how the US military can anticipate the rapidly evolving threat environment in an increasingly dangerous world to best prepare for the wars of the future. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:International Humanitarian Law and the Conflict in Israel and Palestine
DESCRIPTION:Elliott School of International Affairs | Virtual Event \nDescription: International Humanitarian Law (IHL)\, also known as the “laws of war\,” consists of a series of legal instruments that govern the conduct of belligerents in situations of armed conflict. The central aim of IHL is to protect civilians by limiting the means and methods of warfare to reduce unnecessary harm and suffering. IHL stipulates key principles–distinction\, proportionality\, and precaution–to regulate the conduct of hostilities. Violations of IHL hinder civilian protection\, impede humanitarian access\, and disrupt humanitarian assistance. This panel adopts the perspective of IHL to analyze the current conflict between Israel and Hamas and the effects on civilians. What key rules of IHL are applicable in this crisis? What are the status and obligations of the parties to the conflict under IHL? Under IHL\, who is responsible for protecting civilian populations​ and their rights\,​ and for ensuring humanitarian access?  How is IHL enforced and how are violations addressed? What are the obligations of the international community? This event is not open to the media and off the record. No audio or video recording is permitted. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:A conversation with Deputy Assistant Secretary Dawson on Indo-Pacific strategy
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council | Virtual Event \nDescription: Please join the Atlantic Council’s Indo-Pacific Security Initiative\, housed in the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security\, for a conversation with Deputy Assistant Secretary (DAS) for the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs\, Camille P. Dawson regarding the United States’ strategy in the Indo-Pacific region. This hybrid event will take place on Friday\, October 27 at 2:45 PM ET. As the post-Cold War order comes to a close\, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently introduced the concept of “diplomatic variable geometry” to capture the US approach to the new era. He argues that we should be intentional when assembling diverse coalitions of countries\, local governments\, nonprofits\, private sector\, and academia to adequately address each foreign policy issue at hand. During this event\, Deputy Assistant Secretary Dawson will build upon this concept to discuss how minilateral engagements with Indo-Pacific partners can complement the existing regional security architecture. The conversation will focus on the purpose of building new and flexible partnerships through the Quad\, AUKUS\, Partners in the Blue Pacific (PBP)\, US-Republic of Korea-Japan\, US-Japan-Philippines\, and US-EU arrangements central to the Indo-Pacific Strategy. She will also consider questions such as\, “How will the United States factor the perspectives of allies and partners into this approach\, and what lines of effort is the United States pursuing within that structure?” \nThe registration link can be found below.
