Co-author of Introduction: Arctic Modernities\, Environmental Politics\, and the Era of the Anthropocene \nFormer U.S. President Donald Trump left many scratching their heads when it was rumored that he was looking to purchase the large island nation of Greenland from Denmark.

Because of climate change\, large sheets of arctic ice are melting\, exposing vast stores of natural gas and oil. With Russia and China already miles ahead with their Arctic strategies\, can the U.S. catch up? \nGreat Decisions\, presented by the Foreign Policy Association (FPA)\, highlights eight of the most thought-provoking foreign policy challenges facing Americans each year. GCIV is the statewide coordinator for the nonpartisan program.

Countries suddenly unable to meet the demand for certain supplies are faced with growing calls for economic nationalism. What are some of the lasting effects that the pandemic could have on global supply chains and trade? How would this affect national security? \nGreat Decisions\, presented by the Foreign Policy Association (FPA)\, highlights eight of the most thought-provoking foreign policy challenges facing Americans each year.

SUMMARY:US-China Engagement: Past Achievements & Future Adjustments
DESCRIPTION:The Chinese People’s Association for Peace and Disarmament (CPAPD) and The Carter Center invite you to join their US-China Engagement: Past Achievements & Future Adjustments webinar. \n2021 marks the 42nd anniversary of the establishment of the diplomatic relationship between China and the United States. There have been ups and downs in the bilateral relationship\, but the comprehensive engagement between Washington and Beijing in the past four decades has served as an anchor for global peace and prosperity. However\, more recently\, in response to the rise of China and its perceived aggressive expansion in trade\, technology\, and global influence\, what began as a “pivot” to Asia by the U.S. has increasingly become an effort to contain and decouple from China. Engagement policy was declared dead by top American officials. The bilateral relationship is under significant stress. Against this backdrop\, the Chinese People’s Association for Peace and Disarmament (CPAPD) and The Carter Center have decided to organize an online dialogue for prominent Chinese and American experts to reflect on the significance of the past bilateral engagement and how to influence the future realignment of the relationship. \nSpeakers:\nCraig Allen is the sixth President of the United States-China Business Council (USCBC)\, a private\, nonpartisan\, nonprofit organization representing over 200 American companies doing business with China. Prior to joining USCBC\, Craig had a long\, distinguished career in US public service.

He entered government as a Presidential Management Intern\, rotating through the four branches of ITA. From 1986 to 1988\, he was an international economist in ITA’s China Office. In 1988\, Craig transferred to the American Institute in Taiwan\, where he served as Director of the American Trade Center in Taipei. He held this position until 1992\, when he returned to the Department of Commerce for a three-year posting at the US Embassy in Beijing as Commercial Attaché. In 1995\, Craig was assigned to the US Embassy in Tokyo\, where he served as a Commercial Attaché. From 2000\, Craig served a two-year tour at the National Center for APEC in Seattle. While there\, he worked on the APEC Summits in Brunei\, China\, and Mexico. In 2002\, it was back to Beijing\, where Craig served as the Senior Commercial Officer. In Beijing\, Craig was promoted to the Minister Counselor rank of the Senior Foreign Service. After a four-year tour in South Africa\, Craig became Deputy Assistant Secretary for Asia at the US Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration. He later became Deputy Assistant Secretary for China. Craig was sworn in as the United States ambassador to Brunei Darussalam in 2014.

SUMMARY:Geschäfte mit den USA - das Land voller Gegensätze verstehen
DESCRIPTION:Endlich verständlich: USA \nDie Wahlen des Jahres 2020 und der bevorstehende Regierungswechsel haben erneut gezeigt: Die Vereinigten Staaten bleiben ein Land mit Widersprüchen und zum Teil gegenläufigen Kulturen. \nVermeiden Sie interkulturelle Zwischenfälle bei der Zusammenarbeit mit Kollegen\, Kunden und Zulieferern in den USA. Tappen Sie nicht in die Ähnlichkeitsfalle: Firmen aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum lassen sich oft täuschen von der Annahme\, Amerika und Mitteleuropa seien einander kulturell ähnlich.\nAusgehend von dieser falschen Prämisse setzen Unternehmen beim Aufbau des US-Geschäfts Ziele fest\, entwickeln Strategien\, suchen Mitarbeiter aus\, und definieren Organisationsstrukturen. Daraus entwickeln sich in der Regel teure Lektionen. \nDie USA sind in mancher Hinsicht in der Tat eng mit dem deutschsprachigen Europa verwandt. Viel wichtiger ist – und oft wird das ignoriert oder es besteht kein Bewusstsein dafür – dass die USA sich gravierend von Deutschland\, Österreich und der Schweiz unterscheiden. \nWer in den Vereinigen Staaten Geschäfte machen will\, kommt nicht darum herum die Kulturkluft zu erkennen und Wege zu entwickeln\, diese zu überwinden.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Doing Business in Emerging Markets
DESCRIPTION:Featuring:\nDr. S. Tamer Cavusgil\, Georgia State University\nDr. Pervez Ghauri\, University of Birmingham\nDr. Leigh Anne Liu\, Georgia State University \nModerated by:\nSebastian van der Vegt\, Untold Communications \nEmerging markets\, rapidly transforming and dynamic economies\, have been the focus of numerous firms in search of growth opportunities over the past four decades. These economies share such common phases of evolution as rapid economic transformation\, market liberalization\, and impressive gains in competitiveness — often accompanied by significant social and political change and urbanization. \nWhile emerging markets\, along with the rest of the world\, experienced one of the most devastating disruptions caused by the global pandemic of 2020\, the phenomenon of rapid economic transformation and the story of emerging markets remain very relevant. Despite having to endure economic shocks\, emerging markets continue to be highly dynamic and full of market potential. \nIn this conversation\, professors Cavusgil\, Ghauri\, and Liu will provide an update on the current state of emerging market growth and transformation. They will also offer their expectations of their future evolution. What policy measures need to be in place to support emerging market multinationals? How should advanced economy multinationals adjust? In the face of global competition for resources and capital\, will emerging market firms be able to deploy new technologies\, sustainable use of resources and collaborative business models? \nHaving just completed the 3rd edition of their book\, Doing Business in Emerging Markets\, Cavusgil\, Ghauri and Liu will also discuss the features in the new edition. Of interest to both practitioners and students of international business\, readers will find a highly analytical treatment of these growth economies in this edition of the book. New to this edition are 13 original cases written by expert scholars on emerging markets. Each case provides a different country context and managerial set of challenges to be analyzed. \nThis webinar will be moderated by Sebastian van der Vegt\, Untold Communications\, who will raise questions of contemporary interest to practitioners and scholars of emerging markets. \nKey takeaways: \n\nWhat is the current significance of emerging markets to the global economy?\nWhat does the future hold for emerging markets?\nWhat are pressing questions for scholarly research on emerging markets?\n\n  \nThis program is FREE and open to all\, but registration is required. \n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Student Goal Centered Syllabus© — A new tool to Enhance Student Engagement and Learning
DESCRIPTION:Over 75% of students report higher levels of anxiety\, depression and stress due to the global corona-virus pandemic. \nThis is also affecting instructors as campuses open back up for an unprecedented blend of remote and in person learning. These\, and other factors\, are negatively impacting student engagement and learning. \nWe note that there is an unfortunate gap between what students are taught in college and what they are expected to know to be career ready post-graduation. \nThus\, how can we help our students through these challenging times? \nIn this webinar\, we share tips and tools on how instructors can become more compassionate and effective educators. As we begin to rethink how we connect with our students\, there is an opportunity to build greater rapport by understanding their career goals\, their need for the development of both hard and soft skills\, and by placing greater focus on relevant course content. \nWe present techniques on how each of us can make a positive and inspiring first-impression with our students by utilizing the innovative Student Goal Centered Syllabus©. \nThe Student Goal Centered Syllabus© has been designed to cultivate a more collaborative\, relationship-building environment. It links student career goals to the course Learning Outcomes. It utilizes a different tone\, uses first and second person language\, and utilizes a unique visual format appealing to a new generation of students. \nAt the end of this program\, participants will be able to: \nIdentify hard skills and soft skills that are not currently emphasized in many business syllabus and classes.\nDiscover student career goals and link them to the course Learning Outcomes and the skills desired by today’s employers.\nUtilize the Student Goal Centered Syllabus© to increase student interest\, engagement\, and learning. \n\n\n	From the archive:
