Great Decisions 2018 -- Foreign Policy Lecture Series: The Waning of Pax Americana?
2018-01-18 19:30 - 21:00 | Dunwoody United Methodist Church, 1548 Mount Vernon Road, Dunwoody, GA, 30338, United States
The Great Decisions Foreign Policy Lecture Series is sponsored by the Georgia Council for International Visitors (GCIV) and is based on a briefing book published annually by the nonpartisan Foreign Policy Association.

During the first months of Donald Trump’s presidency, the U.S. began a historic shift away from Pax Americana, the liberal international order that was established in the wake of World War II. Since 1945, Pax Americana has promised peaceful international relations and an open economy, buttressed by U.S. military power. In championing “America First” isolationism and protectionism, President Trump has shifted the political mood toward selective U.S. engagement, where foreign commitments are limited to areas of vital U.S. interest and economic nationalism is the order of the day. Geopolitical allies and challengers alike are paying close attention.

State and non-state actors today must maneuver a complex and rapidly evolving media landscape. Conventional journalism now competes with user-generated content. Official channels of communication can be circumvented through social media. Foreign policy is tweeted from the White House and “fake news” has entered the zeitgeist. Cyberwarfare, hacking and misinformation pose complex security threats. How are actors using media to pursue and defend their interests in the international arena? What are the implications for U.S. policy?

ACIR Presents Dr. Polina Sinovets: ﻿Russian Strategic Culture and Nuclear Weapons
2018-01-30 11:30 - 13:30 | Capital City Club, 7 John Portman Boulevard Northwest, Atlanta, GA, 30303, United States
According to Fritz Ermarth, “Traditional Russian strategic culture – that of Imperial Russia from its emergence as a state in the middle of the last millennium through most of the existence of the Soviet Union into the late 1980s – has been one of the most martial and militarized such cultures in history, rivaling, if not exceeding, those of Prussia, Imperial and Nazi Germany, and Imperial Japan in this respect. Starting sometime in the 1970s, accelerating in the 1980s, dramatically so in the years after the collapse of the USSR, conditions have arisen which open the possibility of changing this nature—significantly “demilitarizing Russian strategic culture—while also leaving open the possibility of a revival or reassertion of traditional, highly militarized, Russian strategic culture.” Are we seeing in Putin’s Russia a return to traditional Russian strategic cultural as Russia reasserts itself in Ukraine and elsewhere in Eastern Europe, and modernizes it nuclear forces?

Join the Atlanta Council on International Relations for the luncheon and discussion with Dr. Polina Sinovets, an associate professor in the international relations department at Odessa I. Mechnikov National University, Ukraine.

2018 U.S.-China Young Scholars Forum
2018-01-30 16:00 - 17:00 | Emory University Woodruff Library Jones Room, 540 Asbury Circle, Atlanta, GA, 30322, United States
Two evolving events may impact global peace and prosperity in the coming years. First, President Donald Trump is drastically changing America’s domestic and foreign policies under the slogan “Make America Great Again.” Second, President Xi Jinping has launched a set of policies that he similarly claims will make China great again. Both leaders are driven by nationalism, which has been magnified by both conventional and new media. In fact, the mix of nationalism and media has fundamentally altered the dynamics and equilibrium of the bilateral relations between the US and China. The concern that the interests of the two nations may be on a collision course has been greatly enhanced by President Xi’s report at the National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party in October and the release of the Trump Administration’s 2018 National Security Strategy in December 2017.
On January 30, 16 young scholars from China and the US will present their findings on how nationalism and the media are influencing bilateral relations. On January 31 at 4 p.m., five well-known Chinese and American opinion makers will engage each other in a debate on whether the US and China are adversaries and what can be done to reduce misconception and hostility between Washington and Beijing. Many say this relationship is too big to fail; others say it is too big and complex to manage. We will see what these scholars say about this most consequential relationship in the 21st century.

U.S. China Policy under Trump
2018-01-31 12:00 - 13:30 | Steven C. Hall Building, 215 Bobby Dodd Way. Room 102, Atlanta, GA, 30332, United States
A Risen China is an unprecedented challenge to American power and principles. Any president would have a hard time responding effectively to Beijing’s ambitions. The difficulty is compounded by the current political crisis, in which the post-WWII consensus about the interests and values that drive American foreign policy has been lost. China is taking advantage of American confusion in predictable ways that threaten global liberal practices. Does it matter? Can Americans live as they wish if the U.S. is no longer the world’s most consequential nation?
Presentation by:
Robert Daly, director of the Kissinger Institute on China and the United States at the Woodrow Wilson Center and a former US Foreign Service officer.
This event is free and open to the public.
