SUMMARY:Europe's Nuclear Future: Rethinking Transatlantic Deterrence
DESCRIPTION:Join the Foreign Policy Research Institute’s Eurasia Program for a discussion on Europe’s new nuclear deterrence. \n\n\n\nOn March 2\, French President Emmanuel Macron delivered a landmark update to France’s nuclear strategy\, announcing that France would increase its nuclear arsenal and deepen cooperation with Germany and other European states to deter attacks. The updated nuclear doctrine includes joint exercises between French nuclear forces and the forces of other European states and temporarily moving some nuclear warheads outside of France. While Macron did not explicitly commit to extended deterrence\, a pledge to extend a nuclear umbrella over its allies\, this represents a significant doctrinal change to French nuclear policy. \n\n\n\nThis announcement reflects dramatic shifts in the Transatlantic security relationship as the United States continues to retreat from its role as Europe’s primary security provider and Europe moves towards “strategic autonomy.” Join Emily Holland for a conversation with Astrid Chevreuil and Dr. Alex Bollfrass on the implications of this announcement for France\, Germany\, and European and transatlantic security. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Greenland and the Geopolitics of the Arctic Webinar
DESCRIPTION:As climate change accelerates the melting of Arctic ice\, the region is rapidly emerging as a new geopolitical frontier. The Arctic holds immense strategic value due to its untapped natural resources—estimated to include 13% of the world’s undiscovered oil and 30% of its natural gas—as well as critical rare earth minerals essential for modern technologies. Melting ice is also opening new maritime routes that could significantly shorten global shipping times\, increasing the region’s economic and military importance. \n\n\n\nMajor powers\, including the United States\, Russia\, and China\, are expanding their presence in the Arctic\, viewing it as a key arena for influence\, resource competition\, and military positioning. The Arctic’s role in global security is further underscored by its proximity to the Greenland-Iceland-United Kingdom (GIUK) gap\, a vital chokepoint for NATO defense strategy. \n\n\n\nWithin this broader context\, the Trump Administration renewed U.S. focus on Greenland as a strategic asset. Greenland’s geographic location makes it a cornerstone of Arctic defense\, prompting the administration to place its military installations under U.S. Northern Command in 2025. The island’s vast reserves of rare earth minerals also attracted attention\, particularly as the U.S. sought to counter China’s dominance in critical supply chains. \n\n\n\nPresident Trump’s controversial proposal to purchase Greenland from Denmark\, while dismissed by both Danish and Greenlandic leaders\, reflected a broader ambition to assert U.S. dominance in the Arctic. However\, this approach drew criticism for marginalizing Greenlandic voices and treating the territory as a geopolitical commodity rather than recognizing its people as autonomous actors. As Greenland moves toward greater self-determination\, future U.S. engagement will need to balance strategic interests with respect for local governance and aspirations. \n\n\n\nThe World Affairs Council of Atlanta speaks with the authors of the book “Greenland – A Journey from the Earliest Times to a Modern Society\,” published in March 2025. Mira Kleist is Head of the Greenland Practice\, Kaya Partners. Jens Heinrich\, Ph.D. is Head of Mission\, Greenland Representation in Denmark. Bo Lidegaard\, Ph.D. is Co-founder\, Kaya Partners. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore Info

SUMMARY:Diplomacy Disrupted: How Cuts to U.S. Agencies Are Reshaping Foreign Policy
DESCRIPTION:In a series of sweeping and controversial moves\, in early 2025 the Trump Administration dismissed thousands of government employees across key institutions that form the backbone of America’s national security\, humanitarianism\, and global engagement. These included the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)\, the Department of State\, the Voice of America (VOA)\, the National Security Council\, and several other critical agencies. The scale and speed of these personnel cuts have raised urgent questions about the future of U.S. diplomacy\, international development\, and the country’s ability to project soft power on the global stage. \n\n\n\nYet\, in a striking reversal\, on June 13\, the Voice of America reinstated dozens of Farsi-speaking journalists who had previously been placed on administrative leave by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This sudden pivot suggests that broadcasting to audiences in Iran has become an unexpected priority\, highlighting the Administration’s shifting strategic focus and the complex interplay between staffing decisions and foreign policy objectives. What are the long-term implications of hollowing out the diplomatic corps while selectively restoring capabilities in high-stakes regions? How might these changes affect America’s influence abroad\, its alliances\, and its ability to respond to global crises? Join the WAC for an in-depth conversation with experts from the American Foreign Service Association as they explore the profound impact of these staffing and funding reductions on the tools of diplomacy and the strategic posture of the United States in an increasingly complex world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEric Rubin \nAmbassador Eric Rubin was elected to serve as the President of the American Foreign Service Association (AFSA) after his recent posting as U.S. Ambassador to Bulgaria (2016-2019). Joining the Foreign Service in 1985 after graduating from Yale\, he started as a political and human rights officer in Honduras (1985-1988). In 1989 he was assigned to the State Department’s Operations Center. From 1989 to 1991 he worked in the Office of Soviet Union Affairs where he monitored and reported on the collapse of the Soviet Union. Next\, he served as the security affairs officer for Central and Eastern Europe. He left Washington in 1994 for Kiev\, Ukraine as Deputy Political Counselor. While there he was a recipient of AF[1]SA’s William R. Rivkin Award for Constructive Dissent by Mid-Level Officers for his work on the Bosnia crisis.  \n\n\n\nIn 1996 he returned to Washington to work for the Assistant Secretary of State for European and Canadian Affairs. From 1997-1998\, he served as an Assistant White House Press Secretary for Foreign Affairs and in 1998 he was the spe[1]cial assistant to Ambassador Thomas Pickering—then the Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs. For 1999-2000 Ambassador Rubin was a Rusk Fellow at the Institute for the Study of Diplomacy at Georgetown University where he enjoyed teaching about diplomacy. \n\n\n\nIn 2001 he was posted to Chiang Mai\, Thailand as Consul General. In 2004 he returned to Washington as the director of the Office of Policy Planning and Coordination in the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs. In 2006 he served as the executive assistant to R. Nicholas Burns—the Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs at the time. \n\n\n\nFrom 2008 to 2011 he served as the Deputy Chief of Mission in Moscow. And from 2011 to 2015 he served as a deputy assistant secretary of state in the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs. Ambassador Rubin is married with two children. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhilip A. Shull\nMr. Philip A. Shull has over 30 years of experience as a senior agricultural diplomat and executive with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS). In pursuing the mission of expanding food and agricultural exports and promoting global food security\, Mr. Shull has led negotiations\, directed strategic and market development planning\, conducted economic and marketing analysis\, and overseen multi-million dollar marketing\, technical exchange\, and food aid budgets. He has been a persuasive and effective advocate of U.S. and international positions on food and agricultural issues to audiences ranging from cabinet ministers to small farmers\, and represented the U.S. at international agriculture forums on food safety\, sanitary and phyto-sanitary issues\, and biotechnology. \n\n\n\nMr. Shull retired from USDA in 2016 from his position as Minister Counselor for Agriculture at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing\, USDA’s largest and most important overseas post. During his 30+ years with USDA he also directed offices in Manila\, Hong Kong\, Buenos Aires\, Seoul\, Guangzhou\, and twice in Beijing. In his Washington postings\, Mr. Shull served in various capacities involving economic analysis\, trade policy\, and export expansion\, including as director of international marketing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore Info

SUMMARY:Preventing the Unthinkable: India & Pakistan’s Nuclear Standoff - Virtual Program
DESCRIPTION:The World Affairs Council of Atlanta is hosting a series of virtual dialogues focusing on the United States’ ongoing foreign policy re-directs under the Trump Administration. Amb. (ret.) Charles Shapiro\, President Emeritus of the Council and former U.S. Ambassador to Venezuela\, will lead each dialogue with world-class experts in their fields of study and practice.  \n\n\n\nTopic Summary \n\n\n\n In May 2025\, India and Pakistan narrowly avoided a full-scale war after a deadly terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir triggered a rapid military escalation. The crisis\, which included airstrikes\, missile exchanges\, drone warfare\, and cyber operations\, was defused through a U.S.-brokered ceasefire on May 10. Despite the de-escalation\, cross-border violations persist\, and tensions remain high. Both nations signaled their nuclear capabilities during the standoff—Pakistan convened its National Command Authority\, while India reaffirmed its stance against nuclear blackmail. Former Georgia U.S. Senator Sam Nunn has long warned that the most alarming nuclear threat lies in the volatile relationship between India and Pakistan. These two large\, multiethnic\, developing nations have a history of deep-seated animosity rooted in the 1947 partition of British India. Since then\, they have fought four wars and engaged in numerous skirmishes\, with Kashmir remaining the most contentious flashpoint. \n\n\n\nFeatured Speakers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Aparna Pande\nDirector of the Initiative on the Future of India and South Asia at the Hudson Institute\, Washington D.C. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCharles Shapiro\nExpert panelist and Ambassador  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRickey Bevington\nPresident of the World Affairs Council of Atlanta \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Human Security Challenges Symposium
DESCRIPTION:This symposium will explore the role of state\, non-state\, and international actors in solving or mitigating human security challenges. Human security\, as a governing principle\, emphasizes freedom from want and freedom from fear as opposed to traditional national security\, which emphasizes sovereignty and territorial integrity. Threats to human security manifest in several different ways\, including economic\, food\, healthcare\, and environmental challenges for institutions that may have a role in addressing. The symposium will bring together scholars\, practitioners\, and students from all over the world to discuss this impactful and important topic. \nThe University of North Georgia is partnering with the Army War College Strategic Studies Institute\, the Army Strategist Association\, the Association of the U.S. Army and the Atlanta Council on International Relations to host this symposium on the Dahlonega Campus of the University of North Georgia\, one of six senior military colleges in the United States\, located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in northeast Georgia. From 5-6 April 2023\, participants will hear from a series of noteworthy speakers interspersed with panel discussions and question and answer sessions.
