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- 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.
