SUMMARY:A Conversation with Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak
DESCRIPTION:Carnegie Endowment Description: \n\nOngoing conflicts between Israel\, Hamas\, Hezbollah and Iran are likely to define much of the Middle East for the foreseeable future. Israel may have escalation dominance\, but this will not necessarily bring about security\, let alone the political accords required to bring greater stability to the region. Most serious is the new reality created by Iranian and Israeli strikes directly on one another’s territory\, posing a dangerous risk tolerance. \n\n\nWhat are the chances for further Iranian-Israeli escalation? Does Israel have a strategy to convert its recent military successes into sustainable political achievements with Palestinians or in Lebanon? And what does the future hold for the U.S.-Israeli relationship? Join Aaron David Miller as he sits down with former Israeli Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Ehud Barak for a wide-ranging discussion of these and other issues in the next edition of Carnegie Connects.

SUMMARY:Navigating the Geoeconomic Shifts in the South Caucasus
DESCRIPTION:Carnegie Endowment Description: \n\nRussia’s war in Ukraine has reshaped the geopolitical and economic landscape in the South Caucasus. Although the conflict has created new vulnerabilities for Armenia\, Azerbaijan\, and Georgia\, these countries have also experienced economic benefits\, particularly through increased trade with Russia. The international profile of Azerbaijan\, in particular\, has grown since 2022\, with Baku set to host the COP29 climate change conference in November. \n\n\nAgainst this backdrop\, the EU faces the challenge of strengthening economic ties with a region that serves as a critical trade and transit hub. \n\n\nTo discuss the geoeconomic dynamics in the South Caucasus\, Carnegie Europe invites you to a debate moderated by senior fellow Thomas de Waal\, featuring Tinatin Akhvlediani\, research fellow at the Centre for European Policy Studies\, and Jody LaPorte\, Gonticas fellow at Lincoln College\, University of Oxford. Laurence Broers\, associate fellow at Chatham House\, will be a discussant. \n\n\nA light reception will follow.

SUMMARY:"New Term\, New Challenges: National Security in the Trump Administration"
DESCRIPTION:Register Here: https://signup.e2ma.net/signup/2007985/1968319/ \nAfter an election\, the president-elect starts to think about who they would entrust the national security of the United States to at the highest level. The president chooses their National Security Advisor and nominates a Secretary of Defense\, Secretary of State\, Director of National Intelligence\, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency\, and more. Our panel of national security reporters intends to shed light on who they think will be assigned to play these key roles within the next Trump administration. \nThe Trump administration will inherit wars on two fronts: Israel’s conflict with Hamas\, Hezbollah\, and the Houthis in the Middle East and Russia’s War with Ukraine in Eastern Europe. Our panel of reporters will parse out how the new administration may engage both diplomatically and/or militarily in these conflicts. \nIn addition to conflict in the Middle East and Eastern Europe\, conflict in the Indo-Pacific remains on the table. According to the National Defense Commission’s latest report in July 2024\, China aims to develop the capacity to invade Taiwan by 2027. Even a blockade of Taiwan by China could cost the world 5 trillion dollars or 5 percent of global GDP annually. The panel will discuss the pacing threat with China and how the U.S. military can maintain a posture in the Indo-Pacific to deter threats to ourselves and our allies. \nPanel Members: \nKen Dilanian: Ken is an NBC News national security reporter for the NBC News Investigative Unit\, based in Washington DC. Previously\, he spent 24 years as an award-winning print investigative reporter\, covering national security for the Associated Press\, the Los Angeles Times\, USA Today\, and The Philadelphia Inquirer. Ken posted for three years as a foreign correspondent based in Rome. He covered Europe and the Middle East and made multiple trips to Iraq\, embedding with U.S. troops to report on the war\, while also operating independently from Baghdad. He is a graduate of Williams College with a degree in political science and history. \nAmy Mckinnon: Amy is an award-winning national security and intelligence reporter at Foreign Policy. She has reported from across Eastern Europe and was previously based in Moscow and Tbilisi\, Georgia\, as senior editor for the crisis reporting site Coda Story. Mackinnon is a recipient of the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia Award for her reporting on homophobic vigilantes in Russia. She speaks Russian and has a master’s degree in journalism from the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY and a dual master’s in Russian\, Central\, and East European studies from the University of Glasgow and Corvinus University of Budapest. \nWarren Strobel: Warren covers intelligence and security at The Wall Street Journal. He has traveled with seven US secretaries of state and two presidents. He and his colleagues’ work at Knight Ridder Newspapers challenging the Bush administration’s case for invading Iraq was featured in the 2018 Rob Reiner movie\, Shock and Awe. He was White House and State Department correspondent for the Washington Times and is the author of articles in American Journalism Review and The Christian Science Monitor. He was a fellow at the United States Institute of Peace in 1994-95. \nModerator\, Larry Pfeiffer: The Director of the Hayden Center\, Larry had a distinguished 32-year career in the US Intelligence Community\, including stints as Senior Director of the White House Situation Room and Chief of Staff to Director of the Central Intelligence Agency Michael V. Hayden. \nImmediately following the panel\, there will be a reception with FREE food and beverages for all in-person attendees in the adjacent Multipurpose Room. \nThe event will also be recorded for use on our website and YouTube channel. \nNOTE: VIRTUAL VIEWERS ATTEND LIVE ON YOUTUBE HERE

SUMMARY:Spying in Plain Sight: Inside the Military Liaison Missions in East and West Germany
DESCRIPTION:Spy Museum Description: \nAfter World War II\, the American\, British\, French\, and Soviet armies occupying Germany exchanged military liaison missions to sort out minor issues among the armies on the ground. To enable this work\, the missions were allowed to travel all over Germany.  As the Cold War heated up\, however\, this congenial plan took on a very different meaning and evolved into a license to spy.  American\, British\, and French liaison missions roamed East Germany photographing the latest Soviet and East German military equipment\, while the Soviet missions did much the same thing in West Germany. These operations were daring and dangerous cat and mouse affairs which saw two western officers killed and many other close escapes and confrontations. \nJoin us for a closer look at these liaison missions and the intriguing protocols and equipment supporting them. Historian Bernd von Kostka\, curator at the Allied Museum in Berlin and co-author of Capital of Spies: Intelligence Agencies in Berlin During the Cold War\, will give us a look at an incredible vehicle in the Allied Museum’s collection related to the missions. Von Kostka will showcase the Allied Museum’s Mercedes-Benz G Wagen which was used in the early 1980s by all three Western liaison missions in East Germany. These vehicles were frequently modified\, so they could cope with the harsh demands of the reconnaissance tours. Joel Anderson\, who was a Tour Officer at the United States Military Liaison Mission from 1988 to 1991\, will share some of his personal experiences. In addition\, former Spy Museum historian and curator\, Dr. Mark Stout\, will share related artifacts from the Spy Museum’s collection. \nFollowing the program\, the speakers will answer your questions. \nIn collaboration with the Allied Museum.

SUMMARY:Challenges and Safeguards against AI-generated Disinformation
DESCRIPTION:Hoover Description: \nDistinguishing between human- and AI-generated content is already an important enough problem in multiple domains – from social media moderation to education – that there is a quickly growing body of empirical research on AI detection and an equally quickly growing industry of its non/commercial applications. But will current tools survive the next generation of LLMs\, including open models and those focused specifically on bypassing detection? What about the generation after that? Cutting-edge research\, as well as presentations from leading industry professionals\, in this series will clarify the limits of detection in the medium- and long-term and help identify the optimal points and types of policy intervention. This series is organized by Sergey Sanovich. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS \n \nCharlotte Nicks is a senior at Stanford\, studying mathematics and electrical engineering. She has been selected as a Stanford STEM Fellow and worked at the IRIS Lab at the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory on AI detection. Her academic interests include signal processing\, machine learning\, and complex analysis. She has served as co-President of Affiliated Stanford Entrepreneurial Students\, Stanford’s global entrepreneurship society\, and Stanford Students in Biodesign. During summers\, Charlotte interned as a quantitative trader at Jane Street and as an autonomy engineer at AeroVironment. \n \nSergey Sanovich is a Hoover Fellow at the Hoover Institution. Before joining the Hoover Institution\, Sergey Sanovich was a postdoctoral research associate at the Center for Information Technology Policy at Princeton University. Sanovich received his PhD in political science from New York University and continues his affiliation with its Center for Social Media and Politics. His research is focused on disinformation and social media platform governance; online censorship and propaganda by authoritarian regimes; and elections and partisanship in information autocracies. His work has been published at the American Political Science Review\, Comparative Politics\, Research & Politics\, and Big Data\, and as a lead chapter in an edited volume on disinformation from Oxford University Press. Sanovich has also contributed to several policy reports\, particularly focusing on protection from disinformation\, including “Securing American Elections\,” issued by the Stanford Cyber Policy Center at its launch.
