SUMMARY:Afghanistan's Lessons for a More Sustainable Foreign Policy
DESCRIPTION:After two decades of U.S. engagement in Afghanistan\, America’s longest war is ending with a dramatically unplanned evacuation of civilian personnel\, U.S. citizens\, and some vulnerable Afghans ahead of the September 11 deadline set for the formal withdrawal of U.S. forces. The rapid take-over of Kabul by the Taliban has prompted debate about the future of Afghanistan\, the impact of U.S. policy decisions\, and the moral responsibility that America bears following its decades of intervention. What lessons can the United States learn from our prolonged engagement? Join us for this Foreign Policy Forum with Adam Weinstein\, from the Quincy Institute\, who will offer his thoughts on such lessons and discuss prospects for Afghanistan and for the United States’ future engagement in the region. \nAdam Weinstein is a Research Fellow with the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. He previously worked for KPMG’s international trade practice and assisted multinational clients in navigating Asia’s changing trade landscape\, managing sanctions risk\, and utilizing free trade agreements. Adam’s analysis on Afghanistan and Pakistan has been featured in Foreign Policy\, War on the Rocks\, Lawfare\, and The National Interest. Adam served as a U.S. Marine and deployed to Afghanistan in 2012 as part of a detachment to the 2nd Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company where he served in Uruzgan Province in support of Australia’s 2nd Commando Regiment. \nSchedule: \n5:30 PM Reception \n6:00 PM Program begins \n6:45 PM Q&A \n7:15 PM Program concludes \nAdmission: Non-Members $25; Members $15; Students $5. \nLocation: The Union Club\, 1211 Euclid Ave\, Cleveland\, Ohio 44115. \nParking: Parking at the Union Club is $10 for valet service.

SUMMARY:Germany after Angela Merkel: Her Legacy and the Leadership Transition
DESCRIPTION:On September 26\, Germans will vote in federal elections that will determine the composition of the lower house of the federal parliament\, the Bundestag. The new majority in the Bundestag – most likely a coalition of three parties – will elect the next German Chancellor\, marking the end of 16 years of leadership by Chancellor Angela Merkel. Join us virtually for a conversation about Chancellor Merkel’s legacy\, the outlook for the elections and the likely implications for Germany of this historical leadership transition with Stefan Kornelius\, Foreign Editor at the Süddeutsche Zeitung and author of a biography of Angela Merkel.

In his reporting career\, he has covered Germany’s Christian Democratic Party (CDU)\, the chancellorship of Helmut Kohl\, and defense issues in Europe. From 1996 to 1999\, he served as the paper’s Washington correspondent. His biography of German Chancellor Angela Merkel\, entitled Angela Merkel\, the Chancellor and her World\, has been translated into 13 languages. \nSteven E.

SUMMARY:The Future of U.S. Foreign Policy in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:The 2020-2021 Foreign Policy Forum Series is presented by Hitachi Healthcare Americas.\nOur community partners for this forum are the Northeast Ohio Consortium for Middle Eastern Studies (NOCMES) and the CWRU Center for International Affairs.\n\n\nPresident Biden’s Administration inherited a host of challenges and opportunities in the Middle East. It has become clear over the last two decades that neither American diplomacy nor a presence on the ground has been able to transform the region. From the ongoing war in Syria\, to proxy wars across the Middle East\, and power competition amongst regional rivals\, there are no easy answers for U.S. engagement and policy-making in the region. Without reshaping our own diplomatic efforts\, it is increasingly unlikely that the United States will be able to push an agenda in the region. What’s the best path forward for U.S. engagement in the Middle East? \n  \n \n  \n  \nJoin us for a special lunch-time Foreign Policy Forum with Beirut-based writer\, journalist\, and Emmy Award Winner\, Kim Ghattas. Kim Ghattas is currently a Nonresident Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and a contributing writer for The Atlantic. Ghattas was an international affairs correspondent with BBC for twenty years. She is the author of a New York Times notable book of 2020\, Black Wave: Saudi Arabia\, Iran and the Forty Year Rivalry that Unraveled Culture Religion and Collective Memory in the Middle East.  \n  \n  \n  \nThis webinar is free\, but advanced registration is required. \nTo register\, click HERE.

SUMMARY:Why U.S. Humanitarian Work Should Matter To Americans
DESCRIPTION:The 2020-2021 Foreign Policy Forum Series is presented by Hitachi Healthcare Americas. \nOur community partner for this forum is The American Red Cross of Northeast Ohio.  \nThis past year more than ever\, we have learned that not all disasters are limited by national borders. Whether COVID-19\, climate change\, or political unrest\, when international disasters occur around the world it impacts Americans here at home. The U.S. Government is the world’s leading donor of humanitarian assistance\, reaching millions of people around the globe with life-saving aid every year. Its work is a demonstration of American values\, strengthens U.S. national security\, and helps the American economy. With all of this in mind\, how will the Biden Administration focus on aligning its humanitarian work with its domestic priorities? \n \n  \nThe Cleveland Council on World Affairs is proud to host a Foreign Policy Forum with Neilesh Shelat from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) for a conversation on U.S. humanitarian policy. Mr. Shelat is Deputy Assistant to the Administrator of USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance\, which is the U.S. government lead organization for international disaster response. \n  \n  \n  \nThis webinar is free\, but advanced registration is required.\n\n\nRegister HERE.

SUMMARY:Women and War: The Women Who Took on ISIS - and Won
DESCRIPTION:The 2020-2021 Foreign Policy Forum Series is presented by Hitachi Healthcare Americas.\nOur community partners for this forum are CWRU Center for International Affairs and the CWRU Flora Stone Mather Center for Women. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring this Foreign Policy Forum\, Gayle Tzemach Lemmon will discuss her new book\, the instant New York Times best seller The Daughters of Kobani: A Story of Rebellion\, Courage\, and Justice. The Daughters of Kobani tells the story of an unlikely fight in northeastern Syria in 2014\, when an all-female militia faced off against ISIS. The Daughters of Kobani introduces the women of this all-female militia fighting on the front lines\, playing a central role as America’s on-the-ground partner in the territorial defeat of ISIS. In the process\, they worked to make women’s equality a reality. These female fighters were intent on defeating the Islamic State and on changing women’s lives in the Middle East and beyond.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWomen’s contributions to matters of war and peace\, foreign policy\, national security\, and even combat on battlefields have often been overlooked. With each passing year\, there is a growing recognition of these contributions\, as women leaders shape policy around the world. In recent conflicts and wars\, women activists have bravely led protests to call for change or end violence. A few have joined peace negotiation processes. Women have also taken to the battlefield to protect their families\, nations\, and cultures. Join us as we take a look at the changing norms around women on the battlefield and their role in foreign policy.Ms. Tzemach Lemmon’s previous book\, Ashley’s War\, tells the story of another group of female fighters hoping to change the narrative about women and war: American soldiers who served as part of U.S. special operations. Gayle Tzemach Lemmon is an Adjunct Senior Fellow for Women and Foreign Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar is free\, but advanced registration is required.\n\n\nRegister HERE.

SUMMARY:Why Is It So Hard To Talk About Climate Change?
DESCRIPTION:The 2020-2021 Foreign Policy Forum Series is presented by Hitachi Healthcare Americas. \nOur community partners for this forum are The Great Lakes Energy Institute at Case Western Reserve University and CWRU Center for International Affairs. \nClimate change is one area where politics\, economics\, and science come together to create an all-encompassing challenge that must be met by leaders worldwide. Unfortunately\, it is clear that the causes\, effects\, and policies needed to counter climate change are a point of contention\, as everything regarding climate change has become politically divisive. Global issues require global responses and there is no agreement on whether or how the international community can coordinate approaches to the many challenges involving energy\, environment\, and fiscal responsibilities. Molly Williamson\, a retired Foreign Service Officer and current scholar with the Middle East Institute\, will explore key factors confounding policy makers and political leaders\, both foreign and domestic. \nMolly Williamson is a retired Foreign Service Officer\, who served six different presidents\, and achieved the rank of Career Minister. Williamson speaks extensively on energy\, economic and demographic factors affecting foreign policy formulation\, US-Middle East relations\, especially regional unrest\, the Israel-Palestine conflict\, Iran and nuclear challenges\, and the interagency process. \nShe is a scholar with the Middle East Institute and the National Council on US-Arab Relations\, a consultant\, and frequent guest lecturer at Johns Hopkins University\, the Defense Institute of Security Cooperation\, and the National Joint Staff College. Williamson has had a unique combination of policy positions in four Cabinet departments in the U.S. government as well as numerous diplomatic assignments in and about the Middle East. Williamson was the Senior Foreign Policy Advisor to the Secretary of Energy with global responsibilities at the nexus of foreign policy and energy policy. \n  \n  \nThis webinar is free\, but advanced registration is required.\nRegister HERE.

SUMMARY:The United States and Iran: What Will the Next Four Years Hold?
DESCRIPTION:The 2020-2021 Foreign Policy Forum Series is presented by Hitachi Healthcare Americas. \nMultiple issues surround the U.S.-Iran relationship and now face the Biden Administration. A primary policy consideration  is Iran’s nuclear program and the possibility of restoring the 2015 nuclear agreement. How can the Biden Administration work to prevent a Iranian nuclear weapons program and increase security in the Middle East through relations with Iran? How will the Biden Administration choose to engage with Iranian counterparts? Outside of bilateral and nuclear issues\, multilateral diplomacy will likely be a central focus for how the United States will engage with Iran and others in the Middle East. What might U.S. multilateral diplomacy look like in a region filled with challenging actors? \nOn February 23\, the Cleveland Council on World Affairs will host Paul Pillar and Kelsey Davenport for a dynamic conversation about the challenges facing the Biden Administration’s policy towards Iran and the Middle East. \nPaul Pillar is a Nonresident Senior Fellow of the Center for Security Studies in the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University and a Fellow of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. He had a 28 year career in the U.S. intelligence community and most recently served as National Intelligence Officer for the Near East and South Asia. Earlier he served in analytical and managerial positions\, including as chief of analytic units at the CIA covering portions of the Near East\, the Persian Gulf\, and South Asia. \nKelsey Davenport is the Director for Nonproliferation Policy at the Arms Control Association\, where she focuses on the nuclear and missile programs in Iran\, North Korea\, India\, and Pakistan. She also reports on developments in these areas for Arms Control Today and runs the Arms Control Association’s project assessing the effectiveness of multilateral voluntary initiatives that contribute to nonproliferation efforts. Prior to joining the Arms Control Association\, she worked at a think tank in Jerusalem researching Middle East security issues. \nRegistration for this event is now closed. The podcast recording will be posted in our podcasts section after the event.

SUMMARY:Global Economic Outlook 2021
DESCRIPTION:The 2020-2021 Foreign Policy Forum Series is presented by Hitachi Healthcare Americas. \nThis Forum is the annual Dr. Raj and Karen Aggarwal Forum on International Business.  \nThe global economy continues to slowly climb out of recession following the COVID-19 lockdowns that impacted the entire world in the spring of 2020. Even though cases of COVID-19 continue to rise\, the global economy has proven its resilience in small ways\, as growth has rebounded in some emerging markets faster than was projected. Despite this positive indication\, the World Bank and International Monetary Foundation warn of setbacks and major consequences in 2021 and beyond. For instance\, global poverty is expected to rise for the first time in over two decades\, international trade continues to decline\, inequality is projected to worsen\, and living standards are falling. With all of this in mind\, it is likely that the overall ascent and recovery back to pre-pandemic economic activity will be a long one. What might the new year bring for the global economy? How will the world rebound post-COVID-19? \nJoin us for our first Foreign Policy Forum of 2021 with Nicolas Véron\, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. Véron is also a senior fellow at Bruegel\, a Brussels-based economic policy think tank he helped co-found in 2002. He is also host of the Peterson Institute’s Financial Statements virtual event series. A French citizen and graduate of Ecole Polytechnique and Ecole Nationale Superieure des Mines de Paris\, he has held various positions in the public and private sectors\, including as corporate adviser to France’s labor minister (1997–2000)\, as chief financial officer of the publicly listed internet company MultiMania / Lycos France (2000–2002)\, and as an independent financial services consultant. \nThis Forum is the annual Dr. Raj and Karen Aggarwal Forum on International Business. Established in 2020\, the annual Dr. Raj and Karen Aggarwal Forum is an endowed speaker program that supports the organization of an annual public lecture program that will address in alternate years a topic related to the Republic of India and one related to International Business. The Cleveland Council on World  Affairs makes this annual program open to the public as part of its Foreign Policy Forum series. \nThis webinar is free\, but advanced registration is required. \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS FORUM HAS CLOSED. THE PROGRAM IS FULL.

DESCRIPTION:The 2019-2020 Foreign Policy Forum series is presented by Hitachi Healthcare Americas. \nGlobal growth slowed considerably over the last three quarters of 2018 and into 2019\, and rising trade and global tensions have increased uncertainty in both the global trading system and in international cooperation in general.

Join us in January as we host Marcus Noland (PhD) for a broad discussion of global economic trends and the international financial outlook for 2020.

SUMMARY:Back to (Merely) Bad: The Future of U.S. Policy Towards Iran
DESCRIPTION:The 2019-2020 Foreign Policy Forum series is presented by Hitachi Healthcare Americas. \nOver the last few months\, the imposition of sanctions\, maritime and drone incidents\, and escalating rhetoric between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran have led onlookers to fear a possible conflict in the Middle East. Beyond these recent events\, the U.S.-Iran relationship is a complicated one with a vast history that merits deeper understanding. The Iran nuclear deal (Joint Comprehensive Plan Of Action) also warrants attention when considering the future of relations between the U.S. and Iran\, as well as Iran and other Western nations. Lastly\, the use\, and misuse\, of sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran adds a level of complication to the already fragile relationship. Join us on October 30 as Jarrett Blanc\, Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment\, addresses these issues and options to break the negative cycle between the United States and Iran. What options are there for de-escalation of the current crisis? What would a return to diplomacy look like? How do all of these factors effect U.S. national security priorities? \nJarrett Blanc is a senior fellow in the Geoeconomics and Strategy Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Prior to joining Carnegie\, he was the deputy lead coordinator and State Department coordinator for Iran nuclear implementation at the U.S. Department of State under President Obama. In this role\, he was responsible for the full and effective implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) for Iran’s nuclear program. This included United States and Iranian commitments to sanctions. \nSchedule: \n5:30 PM Reception \n6:00 PM Program begins \n6:45 PM Q&A \n7:15 PM Program concludes \nAdmission: Non-Members $25; Members $15; Students $5 \nLocation: The Union Club\, Wedgwood Room. 1211 Euclid Ave\, Cleveland\, Ohio 44115. \nRegistration: This event is SOLD OUT.  \nParking: \nParking at the Union Club is $10 (cash only) for valet service.

SUMMARY:The U.S.-South Korea Alliance: Addressing North Korea and a Changing World
DESCRIPTION:Ambassador Kathleen Stephens\, former U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Korea\, is currently the President and CEO of the Korea Economic Institute of America. Ambassador Stephens will start our Foreign Policy Forum season with a discussion of the dynamic alliance between the United States and South Korea confronted with new and evolving challenges. Crucially\, the alliance is now tasked with maintaining military preparedness against North Korea while simultaneously pursuing diplomacy with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. This\, however\, comes amid rising competition between the U.S. and China\, South Korea’s largest trading partner and a key player in resolving the North Korea issue\, as well as a more critical view from the White House on the role of allies. Though the path forward for the alliance is not yet clear\, close coordination on a range of issues will be needed to advance the shared goals of both countries. How will the United States and South Korea continue to shape their alliance while facing these new challenges? \nAmbassador Stephens retired from the Foreign Service in 2015 and assumed leadership of KEI as President and CEO in September of 2018. Ambassador Stephens was a career diplomat in the U.S. Foreign Service from 1978 to 2015. She was U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Korea (2008-2011) and was the first woman and first Korean speaker to serve in that position. Korea has been significant throughout Ambassador Stephens’ life\, as she served in Korea as a Peace Corps volunteer and trainer from 1975 to 1977. Other Foreign Service assignments included postings to Portugal\, former Yugoslavia\, China\, Northern Ireland\, and India. In addition\, Ambassador Stephens served in a number of policy positions in Washington including acting Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs (2012)\, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs (2005-2007)\, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs (2003-2005)\, and National Security Council Director for European Affairs at the Clinton White House. \nSchedule: \n5:30 PM Reception \n6:00 PM Program begins \n6:45 PM Q&A \n7:15 PM Program concludes \nAdmission: Non-Members $25; Members $15; Students $5 \nLocation: The Union Club\, Wedgwood Room. 1211 Euclid Ave\, Cleveland\, Ohio 44115. \nRegistration: \nOnline registration for this event has closed.

SUMMARY:Redefining National Security: Preparing for Future Foreign Policy Challenges
DESCRIPTION:From climate change to infectious disease and cyber security\, global trends are increasingly shaping American security interests both at home and abroad. Additionally\, the rise of identity based extremism and the forever wars that America has engaged in post 9/11 continue to threaten our national security and foreign policy. These issues are just some of those outside of the umbrella of “traditional security” that impact United States national security. It can be argued that national security extends well beyond protecting our borders and military interests; instead\, national security should include the well-being of citizens and inclusion of global trends that continually challenge U.S. interests. How can the U.S. develop a national security strategy to prepare for the challenges that lie ahead? \nJoin us on May 15\, as we host Ambassador Bonnie Jenkins\, Founder and Executive Director of Women of Color Advancing Peace and Security (WCAPS)\, Sanam Naraghi-Anderlini\, Founder and Chief Executive Director of International Civil Society Action Network\, and Ambassador Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley\, Third Way Cyber Enforcement Initiative Advisory Board Member and former U.S. Ambassador to Malta. \nThis program is presented in partnership with Women of Color Advancing Peace and Security. CCWA would also like to thank our media sponsor\, 90.3 WCPN. \nSchedule: \n5:30 PM Reception \n6:00 PM Program begins \n6:45 PM Q&A \n7:15 PM Program concludes \nAdmission: Non-Members $25; Members $15; Students $5 \nLocation: The Union Club\, Ballroom. 1211 Euclid Ave\, Cleveland\, Ohio 44115. \nRegistration: \nOnline registration for this event has closed.
