J. KIRBY SIMON FOREIGN SERVICE TRUST AN INVITATION TO PROPOSE PROJECTS FOR FUNDING BY THE J. KIRBY SIMON FOREIGN SERVICE TRUST IN 2012 he J. Kirby Simon Foreign Service Trust is a charitable fund established in the memory of J. Kirby Simon, a Foreign Service officer who died in 1995 while serving in Taiwan. The Trust is committed to expanding the opportunities for professional fulfillment and community service of active Foreign Service officers and specialists and their families. TThe principal activity of the Trust is to support projects that are initiated and carried out on an entirely unofficial, voluntary basis by Foreign Service personnel or members of their families, wherever located. The Trust will also consider projects of the same nature proposed by other U.S. government employees or members of their families, regardless of nationality, who are located at American diplomatic posts abroad. Only the foregoing persons are eligible applicants. In 2011 the Trust made its fifteenth round of awards, approving a total of 52 grants that ranged from $500 to $4,500 (aver- aging $2,040) for a total of $106,094. These grants support the involvement of Foreign Service personnel in the projects de- scribed in the Trust announcement titled “Grants Awarded in 2011” and available at www.kirbysimontrust.org. To indicate the range of Trust grants, the following paragraphs set forth a sampling of projects supported by the Trust in recent years. • Education Projects: School supplies for refugee and other conflict-afflicted children and for orphanages; English-lan- guage learning materials for high school students; day-care facilities for children of underprivileged women learning marketable skills; specialized education equipment for the disabled; kitchen and other equipment for occupational training programs. • Additional Projects for Young People: Playground and sports training equipment, educational toys, furnishings, house- hold appliances, toilet and shower facilities for special-needs schools and orphanages; cleanups to improve sanitation and cre- ate play spaces; school fees and food for abandoned children; materials for a re-entry program for returning Foreign Service teens. • Health and Safety-Related Projects: Dental care for impoverished children; staff training for crisis shelters; health care equipment, security equipment and improved sanitation for maternity clinics and orphanages; a visual impairment survey among HIV-positive children; rebuilding homes of earthquake victims; photo documentation of murdered women set on fire by hus- bands or in-laws. • Revenue-Producing Projects: Machines and materials for income-generating programs for sick and disadvantaged chil- dren and adults, including abused women, migrant workers, refugees, Roma and victims of sex-trafficking; a cooperative for deaf carpenters. The Trust now invites the submission of proposals for support in 2012. It is anticipated that few of the new grants will ex- ceed the average size of the 2011 awards, and that projects assisted by the Trust will reflect a variety of interests and approaches, as illustrated by the foregoing paragraphs and by the Web site description of 2011 grants. Certain restrictions apply: (a) Funds from the Trust cannot be used to pay salaries or other compensation to U.S. Govern- ment employees or their family members. (b) The Trust does not support projects that have reasonable prospects of obtaining full funding from other sources. (c) The Trust will provide support for a project operated by a charitable or educational organ- ization only where the individual applicant(s) play an active part in initiating and carrying out the project, apart from fundrais- ing. (d) The Trust will support only projects in which each applicant's role is clearly separate from the applicant's official responsibilities. A proposal should include a description of the project, its aims and the role to be played by the applicant(s); a preliminary plan for disseminating the results of the project; a budget; other available funding, if any; and a brief biography of the applicant(s). Proposals should be no longer than five double-spaced pages (exclusive of budget and biographical material). Please follow the application format available at www.kirbysimontrust.org/format_for_proposals.html or by communicating with the Trust (see below). Proposals for projects to be funded during calendar year 2012 must be received by the Trust no later than March 1, 2012. Proposals can be submitted by mail, by fax or (preferably) by e-mail to: J. Kirby Simon Foreign Service Trust 93 Edgehill Road New Haven CT 06511 FAX: (203) 432-0063 E-mail: Send to both (1) [email protected] and (2) [email protected] Further information about the Trust can be found at www.kirbysimontrust.org.

    RESEARCH REPORT Playing the Hard Power Card. Pakistan’s fencing of its Afghan border By Siegfried O. Wolf 18 April, 2020 - ISSN 2406-5633 Dr. Siegfried O. Wolf, Director of Research at SADF (Coordinator: Democracy Research Programme); he was educated at the Institute of Political Science (IPW) and South Asia Institute (SAI), both Heidelberg University. Additionally he is member (affiliated researcher) of the SAI as well as a former research fellow at IPW and Centre de Sciences Humaines (New Delhi, India). Abstract For decades a simmering conflict in the ties between Kabul and Islamabad, the issue of the Afghan- Pakistan border resurfaced after the fall of the Taliban regime in 2001 (Shah, 2013, p. 85) and the subsequent international engagement in Afghanistan. It is now gaining further momentum through the start of a unilateral border fencing project by Pakistan - which apparent last phase of implementation coincides with the U.S.-Taliban Deal (U.S. Department of State, 2020), the withdrawal of foreign troops, and the launch of negotiations between the Taliban and the Afghan government regarding the future of the country (intra-Afghan dialogue). Against this background, one must ask: what explains the construction of such a fence by Pakistan - particularly since the target country chose not to pursue such a project - and what is to be thought of its timing? In this SADF Research Report, it is argued that Pakistan’s border fencing is not just a part of a larger border management project intended to undermine the movement of cross-border terrorists, smugglers and drug traders. It has a clear geopolitical dimension reaching far beyond the officially proclaimed border control function - which by itself is a legitimate undertaking of any sovereign state.

    The Endgame of the Reagan Doctrine: Democratic Transition in Nicaragua and Chaos in Afghanistan

    Democratic Transition in Nicaragua and Chaos in Afghanistan 19 Chapter 2 The Endgame of the Reagan Doctrine: Democratic Transition in Nicaragua and Chaos in Afghanistan John-Michael Arnold Introduction1 This chapter examines what happened, during the waning years of the American-Soviet struggle, in two conflicts that were part of the “global Cold War.”2 In both Afghanistan and Nicaragua through- out the 1980s, Soviet-supported Marxist regimes had fought Ameri- can-aided insurgencies. The United States’ support to the Afghan and Nicaraguan guerillas was central to what became widely known as the “Reagan Doctrine,” a term coined by columnist Charles Krauthammer in 1985 and which he defined as “overt and unashamed American sup- port for anti-Communist revolution.”3 While President Reagan became associated in many people’s minds with the American counter-offensive against Marxist regimes, it fell to Reagan’s vice-president and successor in the Oval Office, President George H.W. Bush, to preside over the endgame of the “Reagan Doc- trine.” The following analysis demonstrates three major things about the Bush administration’s record in that regard. First, in the midst of continuing competition with the Soviet Union, the Bush administration wanted settlements to the wars in Nicaragua and Afghanistan, pref- erably with the departure of the Soviet-aligned governments in those countries. Second, during the Bush administration’s term—which ran from January 1989 until January 1993—there was a narrowing of ideo- logical differences between the superpowers when it came to “regional conflicts,” with Mikhail Gorbachev’s Soviet Union sharing similar ideas to the United States about the need for political settlements and even democratic elections as the way to end proxy wars.

Introduction Forty years of war in Afghanistan has encouraged the most extensive periods of diplomatic and military cooperation between the United States and Pakistan. The communist overthrow of a relatively peaceful Afghan government and the subsequent Soviet invasion in 1979 prompted the United States and Pakistan to cooperate in funding and training Afghan mujahedeen in their struggle against the USSR. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Afghanistan entered a period of civil war throughout the 1990s that nurtured Islamic extremism, foreign intervention, and the rise of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, ultimately culminating in the devastating attacks against Americans on September 11th. Seventeen years later, the United States continues its war in Afghanistan while its relationship with Pakistan has deteriorated to an all-time low. The mutual fear of Soviet expansionism was the unifying cause for Americans and Pakistanis to work together in the 1980s, yet as the wars in Afghanistan evolved, so did the countries’ respective aims and objectives.1 After the Soviets were successfully pushed out of the region by the mujahedeen, the United States felt it no longer had any reason to stay. The initial policy aim of destabilizing the USSR through prolonged covert conflict in Afghanistan was achieved.
