SUMMARY:Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series: The Rise of Populism in Europe
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Eleanor Morris\, Ph.D.\, Agnes Scott College \nMass migration\, and the problems associated with it\, have directly abetted the rise of populist parties in Europe. Opposition to immigration was the prime driver of support for Brexit\, it brought a far-right party to the German Bundestag for the first time since the 1950s\, and propelled Marine Le Pen to win a third of the vote in the French presidential election. In addition to calling for stronger borders\, however\, these parties are invariably illiberal\, anti-American\, anti-NATO and pro-Kremlin\, making their rise a matter of serious concern for the national security interests of the United States.

SUMMARY:Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series: Refugees & Global Migration
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jeanne Grussendorf\, Ph.D.\, Georgia State University \nToday\, no countries have open borders. Every state in today’s global system has its own laws and policies about who is permitted to cross its borders\, and how they will do so. Who determines whether someone is a refugee or a migrant? How have different countries\, including the United States\, reacted to migration? How effective are the international laws\, policies and organizations that have evolved to assist and protect refugees and migrants?

SUMMARY:Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series: Cyber Conflict and Geopolitics
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Seymour Goodman\, Ph.D.\, Georgia Tech \nCyber conflict is a new and continually developing threat\, which can include foreign interference in elections\, industrial sabotage and attacks on infrastructure. Russia has been accused of interfering in the 2016 presidential elections in the United States and China is highly committed to using cyberspace as a tool of national policy. Dealing with cyber conflict will require new ways of looking at 21st century warfare. Is the United States prepared to respond to such threats?

SUMMARY:Abe Fellows Global Forum: Japanese and American Innovation in a Global Age

SUMMARY:Atlanta Council on International Relations Presents: Dr. Mona Tajali on 'The Rise of Islamic Politics in Turkey'
DESCRIPTION:ACIR Welcomes Dr. Mona Tajali who will speak on “The Rise of Islamic in Politics in Turkey.” \nFor decades the relationship between the United States and Turkey has been described as one of the most important relationships in the region. During the Cold War Turkey\, a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)\, was the backbone of NATO’s defense of its “Southern Flank.” Today however\, such factors as domestic politics\, changing national perceptions\, and regional conflicts have served to undermine both Turkey’s relationship with NATO and the United States. What had often been described as a durable startegic relationship between the United States and Turkey has become frayed. \nCome and engage in a dynamic dialogue with Professor Mona Tajali and explore root causes of this change in relationship. \n$35 for ACIR members;\n$45 for non-members;\n$75 annual membership \nMembers are welcomed to bring non-member friends to ACIR events at member rates. The same guest may only be invited once at member rates.

SUMMARY:Academic Freedom and Critical Thinking as Transnational Rights
DESCRIPTION:While students and scholars in North America and western Europe have taken the right to academic freedom for granted\, scholars in other parts of the world are often in more precarious positions. Professor Hoodfar’s own recent arrest\, followed by 112 days in Iran’s Evin Prison on charges of “researching and dabbling in feminism\,” has made her sharply aware of the extent to which scholars\, and the ideal of academic freedom are in danger globally. There is an urgent need to advocate for academic freedom as a transnational right.

SUMMARY:Managing Sustainability and Food Security in Conflict Regions
DESCRIPTION:Food insecurity is both a cause and consequence of conflict. Managing food insecurity poses increasing challenges to the international development community.  Food insecurity as a cause of conflict is often linked to international market dynamics\, which can send shock waves across continents\, as the world experienced during the 2007/2008 global food price crisis. Food insecurity as a consequence of conflict is related to the destruction\, disruption\, and diversion of productive resources during conflict. The purpose of this workshop is to generate greater awareness of the importance and challenges of food security management as a conflict prevention policy and a humanitarian response mechanism in conflict-affected regions.

SUMMARY:Negotiating with Guerrillas: A Bumpy Peace for Colombia
DESCRIPTION:Complimentary admission. Registration required. \nFEATURING: Juan Fernando Cristo\, former Colombian Minister of Interior who played a key role in the peace deal; now\, he is running for president. \nColombia\, after years of negotiations\, signed a peace agreement with the FARC guerrillas who had waged war against the government and civilian population for decades. Reaching agreement with the FARC was one thing. Implementing the agreement is another. Not only must the guerrillas disarm\, the government must work to integrate into civilian society people who have no job skills except waging war. The civilian population is extremely suspicious of the peace agreement and of the intentions of the disarmed guerrillas who were\, until a few months ago\, trying to kill them. As Minister of Interior (equivalent of Homeland Security Secretary in the US)\, Juan Fernando Cristo played a key role in the negotiations. He resigned on May 25 and announced he was running for president. The elections are in May 2018.

SUMMARY:The New Face of France\, Reception + Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Networking Reception: 6:30 p.m.\nDiscussion: 7:00 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. \nFeaturing: \n\nLouis de Corail\, Consul General of France in Atlanta\nFrancois Bresson\, Head of Finance Americas of Orange Business Services\n\nFrance is tired of being the sidekick of Europe. With Emmanuel Macron assuming the presidency\, and his new party En Marche gaining 350 out of 577 seats in the National Assembly\, the French people have given Macron more power than any recent president. Leadership in the West is up for grabs\, and Macron is not shying away in the slightest. Will the mantel of European leadership be assumed by a renewed Franco-German alliance? Is the sweeping victory of En Marche a rebuke of the European Project\, or a sign of unity and determination across the continent? Is the embrace of an outsider’s party a rejection of far-right populism? This French government does not hesitate to shake things up. Louis de Corail\, the Consul General of France in Atlanta\, and Francois Bresson\, Head of Finance Americas of Orange Business Services\, will assess the New Face of France. \nView the program flyer
