SUMMARY:WACHH Friday Speaker Series- Russia and the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:Although usually described as an “Eastern European” or “Eurasian Power\,” contemporary Russia in the past decade has emerged as major actor in the Middle East. Moscow has demonstrated an unusual ability both to apply military force effectively and to practice diplomacy deftly\, juggling and expanding ties not just with American adversaries like Syria and Iran\, but also with American partners such as Israel\, Turkey\, and Egypt. Russia’s seeming success appears all the more remarkable given the routine dismissal of Russia by American observers as a declining power. What is the historical background of Russia as a Middle Eastern power? Is Russia’s success in the region real and what explains it? How sustainable is it? And what does Russia’s role in the Middle East mean for America? \nMichael A. Reynolds\, a Senior Fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute\, is Director of Princeton University’s Program in Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies\, and Associate Professor in Princeton’s Department of Near Eastern Studies. His teaching and research ranges over the geography of the Middle East and Eurasia and covers the themes of empire\,  international relations\, nationalism\, geopolitics\, ethnic conflict\, and religion and culture.

SUMMARY:WACHH Friday Speaker Series: Taiwan- Cross-Strait Relations Beyond 2020
DESCRIPTION:RUSSELL HSIAO: TAIWAN – CROSS-STRAIT RELATIONS BEYOND 2020\nMadame Tsai Ing-wen won a second term in January 2020 to serve as the president of Taiwan for another four years. The first term of her presidency saw steady improvements in US-Taiwan relations and a deterioration in cross-Strait ties as Beijing ramped-up diplomatic\, military\, and economic pressure on Taipei to accept its terms for unification. As the power disparity between Taiwan and China widens\, Taipei is becoming more susceptible to Chinese coercion and CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping may become more emboldened to use military force. What are the implications for the Taiwan Strait over the next four years and beyond?

SUMMARY:WACHH Friday Speaker Series: North Korea- What's Next?
DESCRIPTION:The two historic meetings between Trump and the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un alleviated tensions between the two nations who at one time seemed on the brink of a military encounter. But there is a “fundamental difference in understanding” between the two sides regarding the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula\, the major goal of the summits. \nWhile Washington was only considering a peace treaty and loosening sanctions on Pyongyang after it had denuclearized\, North Korea’s position was a phased approach in which it would receive concessions for every step taken toward denuclearization.  That difference is a major reason for the current stalemate in negotiations. \nThis is a complicated game of diplomacy with both sides looking to make the next best move. Ambassador Yun will share his insights into North Korea and it’s short and long-term goals and discuss the prospect of Kim abandoning North Korea’s nuclear weapons. \nhttps://theasiagroup.com/staff/amb-joe-yun/

SUMMARY:Maude Olofsson- Will the Nordic Model Survive?
DESCRIPTION:This is a Global Speakers Presentation \nMaud Olofsson is the former Deputy Prime Minister of Sweden (2006-2010) and Minister for Enterprise and Energy of Sweden. She is also a former party leader for the Swedish Centre Party. \nTake one look at international reports that measure different indices such as competition\, productivity\, economic growth\, equal opportunities\, innovation\, quality of life\, happiness\, etc.\, and you often find the Nordic countries\, Sweden\, Norway\, Denmark\, and Finland at the top of these lists. It seems like these countries have done something right and also have something in common that has taken them to where they are today. How have these small countries\, close to the arctic circle\, that suffered poverty and population flight in the 1800’s\, now topped so many surveys? It’s the so-called Nordic Model. read more at www.wachh.org/event-3840620

But most of all\, you’ll meet a man who damn-well knew how to love. And thanks to the devoted efforts of co-editors Jonathan Haupt and Nicole Seitz\, and the work of 67 very fine writers\, his legion of fans will come to love Pat Conroy even more than they already do.”–Lowcountry Weekly \n“Our Prince of Scribes isn’t just a collection of homages but also a delightful introduction to Conroy’s vast and talented circle of friends.”–Washington Post \n\nABOUT OUR PRESENTERS\nJonathan Haupt is the executive director of the Pat Conroy Literary Center\, the founding director of the annual Pat Conroy Literary Festival\, and the former director of the University of South Carolina Press.
