SUMMARY:The impact of fintech on women’s financial inclusion in Bahrain
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council | Virtual Event \nDescription: Bahrain’s fintech industry is booming\, contributing 17.2 percent of the country’s GDP and driving economic growth. It is also having a major impact on women’s financial inclusion. Additionally\, according to the 2019 Global Startup Ecosystem Report\, Bahrain leads the world in the number of women founders.

SUMMARY:Arms Trade Treaty Reporting in the Shadow of Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:Stimson Center | Virtual Event \nDescription: The massive influx of arms transfers to Ukraine has brought renewed attention to the global arms trade and reinvigorated discussions around the importance of—and challenges to—arms trade transparency. Join the Stimson Center for an expert discussion of the status of arms trade transparency in the context of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). Panelists will take stock of recent efforts to advance transparency\, including through the submission of ATT annual reports on arms exports and imports\, and discuss how governments\, civil society\, and other actors can further enhance public understanding of the international arms trade in the years to come. The event will also feature insights from the 2023 ATT Monitor Report and will launch a new Stimson analysis reflecting on the past year of ATT annual reporting. \nFeatured Speakers: \nRachel Stohl\, Vice President\, Stimson Center and Director of the Conventional Defense Program \nCarina Solmirano\, Project Lead\, ATT Monitor \nRobert in den Bosch\, Disarmament Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the Conference on Disarmament of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Geneva \nThato ’Mapuleng Mokitimi\, Legal Officer\, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Relations\, Kingdom of Lesotho \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Climate\, Energy\, Insecurity – How UN Peace Operations Can Help Soften the Blow
DESCRIPTION:Stimson Center | In-Person and Virtual Event \nDescription: Security\, climate sensitivity and access to affordable and dependable electricity are critical factors in the health and success of a society. They can mutually reinforce each other in positive and negative ways; they can also be combined to illustrate the scale of the challenge a society may face. Yet\, our understanding is limited of how they interact and what that means for policies and programs.  Evidence is dispersed\, uneven and often only anecdotal. There is ample appetite for relevant and specific data along with specific cases. \nBetter understanding of the evidence can lead to possible solutions. UN Peace Operations are one vector. They are deployed in conflict or post conflict countries\, working on a range of peacebuilding and conflict resolution related efforts. As the UN begins to put more resources towards transitioning to renewable energy in field missions\, there will be opportunities and impacts that relate the peace and conflict dynamics in the countries where these missions are deployed. \nThis discussion aims to explore this possibility further and deepen our collective thinking and understanding and how best to leverage the presence of UN Peace Operations in fragile states to adopt renewable energy technologies that can contribute to building lasting peace. Increased renewable energy capabilities reduces the need for fossil fuels\, including related supply chains that can fuel instability and violence\, and brings the promise of sustained economic development. This roundtable seeks to illustrate examples of where this potential exists\, identify examples of where and how it has been demonstrated\, and to understand what the necessary ingredients are to realize it. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:The Power of Cross-border Financial Flows: Reflections on the 2023 Global Philanthropy Tracker
DESCRIPTION:Center for Strategic and International Studies | In-Person and Virtual Event \nDescription: The Global Philanthropy Tracker\, a first-of-its kind report published by the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy\, measures cross-border donations from individuals and organizations around the world. According to the 2023 Global Philanthropy Tracker\, philanthropic organizations and individuals based in 47 countries contributed $70 billion internationally in 2020. Four sources—philanthropy\, global remittances\, official development assistance\, and private capital investment—together contributed $841 billion in cross-border resource flows. By reporting on these four flows\, the report demonstrates ways civil societies\, governments\, businesses\, and individuals collaborate to address global development challenges worldwide. What lessons can be learned from this most recent data about the role of each sector individually\, and about cross-sectoral partnerships\, in addressing global challenges? What are the most effective ways to leverage these financial sources to address growing needs worldwide? Please join the CSIS Global Food and Water Security Program on Friday\, November 3rd at 10:00 am to welcome representatives from the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy\, Mastercard Foundation\, PepsiCo Foundation\, International Research & Exchanges Board\, and the U.S. Department of State Office of Global Partnerships to discuss findings of the 2023 Global Philanthropy Tracker and the role of all sectors in addressing global development challenges. This event is held in partnership with the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy and made possible by general support.  \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:The evolving role of special operations forces in strategic competition
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council | In-Person and Virtual Event \nDescription: Please join the Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security and its Forward Defense program for a symposium on the evolving role of special operations forces in strategic competition. This symposium will take place on Wednesday\, November 8 and will feature a full day of keynotes and panels\, along with an in-person networking lunch and reception\, running from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET. To attend in person or virtually\, please REGISTER on the right. Guided by the 2022 National Defense Strategy (NDS)\, the Pentagon seeks to integrate all levers of national power across domains\, theater\, and the full spectrum of conflict—and US Special Operations Forces (SOF) offer competencies and capabilities critical to realizing this vision for integrated deterrence. Yet\, while SOF is uniquely positioned to help prevent and\, if necessary\, prepare for conflict with China\, SOF’s value is often narrowly viewed through a counterterrorism lens given its central role in the Global War on Terror. The United States Government must recognize that SOF serves modern security imperatives\, including as a key resource in competition with China and Russia. For instance\, special operators forge deep relationships with likeminded nations\, providing security force assistance\, while also creating dilemmas for US adversaries through information and psychological operations. The SOF community—guided by the office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict (ASD(SO/LIC)) and US Special Operations Command (SOCOM)— is being called upon to apply yesterday’s successes to today’s mission sets. This symposium will examine SOF’s contributions to NDS imperatives—and\, particularly\, integrated deterrence campaigning—and how the SOF community must adjust its operations to meet the security challenges facing the United States in the 2020s and beyond. \nWe hope you can join us for what promises to be an important and timely discussion. To receive the Zoom link or attend in person\, please REGISTER. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Still Friends after All These Years? The US-Canada Relationship in a Dangerous World
DESCRIPTION:The Hudson Institute | In-Person event \nDescription: Canada and the United States are quietly diverging on many important geopolitical issues. Yet any reasoned survey of the two neighbors’ interests would quickly conclude that Washington and Ottawa should be closely aligned on matters including national security\, the future of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization\, opposition to authoritarian regimes\, the Arctic\, energy\, critical minerals\, and more. To put the US-Canada relationship back on sound footing\, the nations should start by telling each other the truth and seeing the relationship as it really is. The Macdonald-Laurier Institute (MLI)\, Canada’s leading think tank\, is launching a new project in Washington to take on this truth-telling task. This project—the Center for North American Prosperity and Security (CNAPS\, pronounced “synapse”)—will go beyond clichés to drive an honest dialogue on the issues that matter most for the security and prosperity of citizens on both sides of the border. Hudson Institute\, in partnership with MLI\, is proud to host the launch of CNAPS. The event will highlight two urgent matters facing policymakers on both sides of the border: the lessons from Canada’s extensive experience with institutional capture by the Chinese Communist Party\, and the potential for a continental energy policy that would keep prices low\, ensure energy security for the liberal-democratic world\, and reduce the flow of money to some of the world’s nastiest regimes. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:EU-US Defense & Future Forum
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council | In-Person and Virtual Event \nDescription: The Delegation of the European Union to the United States\, in partnership with the Atlantic Council\, is hosting the EU-US Defense & Future Forum on November 14-15\, 2023 in person at the Atlantic Council. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine\, the European Union\, its member states\, and the United States have put the strength of the transatlantic relationship on full display. But the work is not done. The need to bolster transatlantic cooperation in tackling a multitude of global challenges and opportunities to sustainable security\, prosperity\, and the international legal order is ever present and pressing. Against this backdrop\, the Delegation of the European Union to the United States and the Atlantic Council will host the flagship EU-US Defense & Future Forum to advance a forward-looking agenda for EU-US relations. In addition to discussing the defense\, security\, and global dimensions of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine\, the Forum will convene a series of high-level dialogues on the economy; global infrastructure and investment for sustainable growth; the intersection between trade\, security\, democracy and technology; the green and digital transitions; countering foreign interference and disinformation; and how to best cooperate with global partners on all these fronts.

SUMMARY:The Caribbean gender empowerment forum
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council| In-Person & Virtual Event \nDescription: The effects of climate change will continue to have an outsized impact in the Caribbean – a subject that must be at the top of the agenda next month at COP. But what should also be top of mind is the disproportionate impact on women. But for women to have a leadership role in determining how to mitigate the impacts of climate change\, it’s crucial to also have roles as decisionmakers in the broader democratic process. That’s a challenge when only 22 percent of ministerial portfolios and cabinet positions in the English-speaking Caribbean are held by women. Join the Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center’s Caribbean Initiative and UN Women on Wednesday\, November 15\, 2023\, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. (Guyana) / 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. (ET) at the Guyana Marriott Hotel Georgetown in Georgetown\, Guyana\, for a thought-provoking conversation on addressing gender challenges in the Caribbean. As part of the partnership between the Atlantic Council and UN Women\, which is a Recipient UN Organization as part of the European Union–United Nations Spotlight Initiative program\, this event follows an October 2023 conversation in Jamaica that resulted in new action items to advance women’s economic empowerment and curb gender-based violence – conversations that continue AALAC’s longstanding commitment to gender equality and diversity. Watch the Guyana livestream here. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Civil Society’s Role in Navigating Authoritarianism - Advocating for Peace and Justice Amid Shrinking Civic Spaces
DESCRIPTION:United States Institute of Peace | Virtual Event \nDescription: In the context of rising authoritarianism\, civil society plays a crucial role in shifting the power balance to ensure societies are more peaceful and just. Nongovernmental organizations\, civic associations and activists are far from passive victims of authoritarian rule. They can deploy a wide range of tactics and strategies — from lobbying to protesting and other forms of nonviolent action — to effectively challenge unjust power structures and bring about peaceful change. This is true even as they face authoritarians who have increasing access to digital technologies and artificial intelligence\, allowing for more sophisticated surveillance and censorship. Join USIP for a conversation with civic leaders\, scholars and donors on the role of civil society actors in authoritarian contexts and what the international community can do to support them. The discussion will draw on their experiences and knowledge to share lessons about how advocacy and other forms of nonviolent action can be effective in closed civic spaces. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Setting the PACC 2030 Agenda: Building climate resilient Caribbean economies
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council| In-Person & Virtual Event \nDescription: COP 28 is fast approaching\, and Caribbean countries are grappling with climate change’s effects and volatile energy prices. Support to address these challenges are scarce\, but a bright spot emerged when US Vice President Kamala Harris announced the US-Caribbean Partnership to Address the Climate Crisis 2030 (PACC 2030) to promote regional climate resilience and energy security. Where does PACC 2030 currently stand and how can PACC 2030 strengthen US-Caribbean partnership in the long -term? How might international forums like COP 28 be an opportunity to further PACC 2030’s objectives? How can US policymakers and business leaders better engage regional institutions and local communities to achieve PACC 2030’s objectives? Please join the Caribbean Initiative at the Atlantic Council’s Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center on Wednesday\, November 15\, 2023\, at 1:00 P.M. – 1:45 P.M. (ET) to discuss how US\, Caribbean\, and multilateral stakeholders can work together to build climate resilience and clean energy projects in the Caribbean. This latest event builds on the Atlantic Council’s ongoing efforts to provide new ideas to support PACC 2030’s implementation through a new working group and the first PACC 2030 publication released last year.

SUMMARY:A conversation with General Chance Saltzman on maintaining competitive endurance in space
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council| In-Person & Virtual Event \nDescription: Please join the Scowcroft Center’s Forward  Defense program for the latest installment of our Commanders Series\, “A conversation with General Chance Saltzman on maintaining competitive endurance in space.” Generously supported by Saab\, this event will take place on Wednesday\, November 15\, 2023\, from 1:30 to 2:20 p.m. ET in person at 1030 15th Street\, 9th Floor\, NW\, Washington\, DC\, or virtually over Zoom. Register using the form on the right. The space domain remains crucial to protecting and advancing US and allied strategic imperatives\, enabling operations ranging from navigation and communications to missile warning and tracking. Space will only become more central to US military operations as adversaries seek to exploit the United States’ dependence on space-based technologies. Since the US Space Force was established in 2019\, China has doubled its number of satellites\, rapidly developed its counterspace arsenal\, and announced ambitions to establish a new base on the Moon. In this context\, the young Space Force faces a challenging path ahead in which it must balance efforts to both maximize its ability to deter crisis in space while also advancing long-term stability and sustainability in the domain. Earlier this year\, Chief of Space Operations General Chance Saltzman released an evolving theory of success for the Space Force titled “Competitive Endurance.” The theory\, meant to serve as a starting point for debate\, pursues US advantages in space while avoiding escalation to armed conflict. How will the Space Force prepare not only for conflict in space today\, but to maintain its edge in the coming decades? This event will explore key priorities for the Space Force in deterring conflict and promoting long-term stability in space. Join us on November 15 as Chief of Space Operations\, General Chance Saltzman\, in conversation with Space News Senior Staff Writer Sandra Erwin\, discusses his theory of success to maintain the United States’ edge in the space domain amid competition with China. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Taiwan: A contested democracy under threat
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council| Virtual Event \nDescription: Please join the Atlantic Council’s Global China Hub on Thursday\, November 16 at 9:00 a.m. ET for a virtual launch of a new book by Hub nonresident fellow\, Lev Nachman\, and co-author Jonathan Sullivan\, titled\, “Taiwan: A Contested Democracy Under Threat.” There has never been greater international interest in Taiwan\, nor such widespread concern. For decades\, Taiwanese people have hoped that their achievements in economic transformation and democratic transition would be recognized\, and that Taiwan could participate and contribute to international society on its own merits. Taiwan’s desire to be seen as a respected player on the global stage has generally been frustrated. To meaningfully care about what happens in Taiwan\, however\, requires an understanding of what makes Taiwan special\, why it matters and what can be done to keep Taiwan peaceful. This new book is pitched at readers who wish to learn more about the complexities of the “the Taiwan issue” in a clear and accessible way. With the 2024 Taiwanese presidential election set for January 13 and the likelihood of militarized conflict involving Washington and Beijing being higher than it has been for many decades\, the need for the global community to understand the issues at hand has never been more imperative. The conversation will include a summary from and discussion of the book’s themes from author Lev Nachman\, as well as a panel that explores what is at stake with the upcoming Presidential election in Taiwan. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:The Future of America’s Strategic Posture - A Conversation with the Congressional Commission on the Strategic Posture of the United States
DESCRIPTION:United States Institute of Peace | In-Person & Virtual Event \nDescription: When it was established in 2021\, the bipartisan Congressional Commission on the Strategic Posture of the United States was given a sweeping mandate to review everything from U.S. nuclear weapons policy to military force structure and threats to strategic stability around the world in order to prepare the United States for the future. In their recently released final report\, the commission concluded that the geopolitical landscape has been fundamentally altered by Russia’s and China’s rising aggression — and that the United States must adjust its own strategic posture to protect its security and stability interests in the years ahead. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Building a stable Western Balkans: Regional challenges and opportunities
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council| In-Person & Virtual Event \nDescription: Please join the Atlantic Council’s Europe Center for a public\, hybrid discussion on Building a Stable Western Balkans: Regional Challenges and Opportunities. This event will take place on Thursday\, November 16 at 10:00 a.m. ET virtually and in-person at the Atlantic Council Headquarters. Following the public event\, there will be a small coffee reception for in-person participants. Despite the new momentum surrounding EU enlargement to the Western Balkans\, the region has faced renewed threats to its stability. Challenges including the rise of nationalism due to unresolved conflicts\, economic difficulties\, ethnic tensions\, and political instability have been exacerbated by the war in Ukraine and attempts by outside actors to increase their malign influence in the region with the hope of inhibiting European integration. In spite of these challenges\, there are also opportunities for building a more stable and secure Western Balkans. The region is required to implement deep reforms to join the European Union\, and there is a desire for cooperation among the Western Balkan Six. This event will bring together experts from the Balkans in Europe Policy Advising Group (BiEPAG) to discuss the regional challenges and opportunities in the Western Balkans\, with a focus on political developments in Bosnia and Herzegovina\, the Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue\, and the opportunities that exist to promote stability and security in the region and keep the Western Balkans aligned on a European path. The discussion will take place in-person and virtually on Zoom and will be broadcast on YouTube\, Twitter\, and Facebook. To receive event information\, please register using the form to the right. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email with information on how to join the event. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:From Washington to Avdiivka: What does 2024 hold for Ukraine?
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council| Virtual Event \nDescription: Moscow’s war on Ukraine has always been about a lot more than just the fight on the battlefield. Ukraine has been able to prevent Russia’s seizure of Kyiv and Kharkiv and to take back more than 50% of Russian-conquered territory in part because of strong Western military\, political and economic support led by the US. The past month has introduced several new factors in this multidimensional struggle. On land\, Ukraine’s counteroffensive has only liberated several hundred square kilometers\, which has led many commentators to talk about a stalemate. But at sea\, Ukraine has driven the Russian Black Sea fleet out of Sevastopol and are sheltering in the eastern Black Sea. And using the shorter-range ATACMS that the US supplied this fall\, Ukraine destroyed over 20 Russian helicopters in Berdyansk and Luhansk. But in Washington\, a small group in the Republican House caucus was able to prevent the inclusion of aid to Ukraine in the Continuing Resolution for government spending passed September 30. That was followed by the removal of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House and his replacement by Mike Johnson. While the new Speaker has said that the US must not leave Ukraine in the lurch and that he would put a bill on aid to Ukraine up for a vote\, he has also said that aid for Israel must be considered separately. In contrast\, President Biden and Senators Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer are pushing for a single aid bill for Ukraine and Israel (and Taiwan).  The Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center hosts a discussion on the current state of the Ukrainian counteroffensive\, the Russian counterstrike at Avdiivka\, and the prospects in Washington for Ukraine aid. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Deconstructing the Israel-Hamas disinformation war
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council| Virtual Event \nDescription: The Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Middle East Security Initiative and Digital Forensic Research Lab invite you to join us for a public event on “Deconstructing the Israel-Hamas Disinformation War” on Thursday\, November 16\, 2023\, from 12:30 – 2:30 PM ET. The October 7 Hamas terror attack and subsequent Israeli invasion of Gaza have been accompanied by a globe-spanning information conflict. Please join us for two panel discussions on how disinformation\, digital war propaganda\, and social media platform policies have collided to help shape public perception of the crisis. The first panel discussion “Mapping the Israel-Hamas Information Conflict” will examine the ongoing crisis\, the fog of war has permeated social media platforms\, leading to widespread confusion and creating numerous opportunities for disinformation actors and war propagandists. What does this information conflict look like? How can it be measured? And how should everyday social media users navigate a conflict where falsehood lies around every corner and the truth remains so hard to find? This conversation will be followed by “Trust and Safety in Times of Violence.” Panelists will dive into how during the first stages of the Israel-Hamas war\, social media platforms have navigated urgent and often competing policy demands. These include ensuring the safety of users in conflict areas\, abiding by applicable national and international laws\, reducing the spread of false or misleading content\, and protecting global freedom of expression. How should tech company policymakers approach this complex challenge? And what should they consider in the weeks and months ahead? This conversation will be broadcast on YouTube\, Zoom\, Twitter\, and Facebook. Register above to join us online. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email with information on how to attend. The event is open to members of the press and will be on the record. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:U.N. Sanctions and Peace Processes: Meeting Current Challenges
DESCRIPTION:United States Institute of Peace | In-Person & Virtual Event \nDescription: U.N. sanctions are an important tool for preventing and resolving conflict. But the current U.N. sanctions system is very complex\, and wide divisions in the U.N. Security Council are undermining the body’s ability to even take on some of the most pressing matters in international peace and security. This lack of movement often hampers conflict mediators as they engage in peace processes that require more agile\, immediate action. A greater coherence and coordination between U.N. sanctions regimes and peace processes — as well as improvements in how U.N. sanctions are designed\, implemented and removed — could help both tools to be more effective in achieving their stated aims. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:On War: Thucydides and Current Strategic Dilemmas | Policy Certificate Program
DESCRIPTION:The Hudson Institute | In-Person event \nDescription: Thucydides is thought to be the first and greatest teacher of power—who taught that might makes right and that wars begin as a consequence of fear. Thinkers from Thomas Hobbes to proponents of modern “realist” schools of international relations invoke his name. But what are his teachings\, exactly? And what can he tell us about modern warfare? In this workshop\, candidates will study Thucydides’s great history of the Peloponnesian War with a series of foundational questions in mind: What is the nature of power\, and of war? How do wars start? What role do domestic politics and “ideology” play in foreign policy? In our discussions and final simulation\, we will explore if his actual teachings are applicable to current grand strategic dilemmas—and if so\, how. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:Relying on old enemies: The challenge of Taiwan’s economic ties to China
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council| Virtual Event \nDescription: Please join the Atlantic Council’s Global China Hub and GeoEconomics Center on Friday\, November 17 at 9:00 a.m. ET for the virtual launch of Jeremy Mark and Niels Graham’s new report\, “Relying on Old Enemies: The Challenge of Taiwan’s Economic Ties to China”. While attention to the Taiwan issue normally focuses on Chinese military threats\, there is an underlying economic equilibrium in the Taiwan Strait—based largely on complex electronics supply chains—that gives the Taiwanese leverage with Beijing at a moment in which China is experiencing an unprecedented economic downturn. But this mutual dependence also has laid bare homegrown Taiwanese economic vulnerabilities—including to Beijing’s economic coercion—that will require creative policy thinking in the coming years in Taipei\, Washington and other capitals that rely on Taiwan’s cutting-edge capabilities in the semiconductor industry. This economic challenge will be just as important to Taiwan’s economic and political well-being as the imperative to strengthen military capabilities and alliances in the Asia-Pacific\, especially as Taiwanese companies join other multinationals in de-risking their investments in China. This virtual panel will discuss the report and explore the implications of Beijing and Taipei’s mutual economic dependence\, Beijing’s campaign of economic coercion against Taiwan\, and how Taiwan and the US and its allies and partners can help bolster Taiwan’s resilience. The conversation will build on insights and themes discussed during our recent event\, “Investigating China’s economic coercion: The reach and role of Chinese corporate entities.“ \nThe registration link can be found below.
