Since the 1980s, EWI has played a powerful back-channel role between Russia and the West. Several high- profile EWI projects and products in the U.S. and Russia made 2009 a particularly important year. Our work focused on nonproliferation, Euro- Atlantic security, counterterrorism, cy- bersecurity and economic, energy and climate security.

2009 was an important year for EWI’s public profile. Groundbreaking publications such as Iran’s Nuclear and Missile Potential, Euro-Atlantic Security and Reframing Nuclear De-Alert helped propel EWI into the headlines and reach new audiences. EWI’s influence was most evident in September when the Obama admin- istration shelved plans for a missile de- fense system in Poland and the Czech Republic, which had been an irritant in U.S.-Russia relations. The Wall Street Journal, which broke the story on its front page, cited EWI’s U.S.-Russia joint threat assessment on Iran as a significant contributor to the White House decision. The assessment had already received considerable press attention when it was released in May, including in the Washington Post, the Associated Press, the BBC, the Financial Times, Russia Today and the Los Angeles Times. EWI staff and fellows appeared in several media outlets commenting on a range of international security con- cerns, from cybersecurity to violent extremism to Russian-Italian rela- tions. Among the news media drawing on EWI expertise were Ria Novosti, Gazeta.kz, Defense News, Euronews, the Moscow Times, USA Today, Al Jazeera, Fox News and the BBC. Adding to the public profile were EWI columns and op-eds. Greg Austin began a column in New Europe, a Brussels-based weekly. W. Pal Sidhu began writing for Mint, an Indian busi- ness newspaper associated with the Wall Street Journal. Andrew Nagorski contributed regularly to Newsweek, and EWI Senior Fellow, Os Guinness, published op-eds in the Washington Post and USA Today. EWI’s new web site, launched in May, has featured a steady stream of new content and has seen a 20 per- cent increase in traffic in 2009. Among the innovative content featured on the site has been the Global Leadership Consortium’s Global Lens, a regular round-up of views from around the world on current events. n 19 EWI Senior Fellow David Kilcullen (right) and retired General Ehsan Ul Haq, former Chairman of Pakistan’s Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, speak to reporters at EWI’s sixth annual Worldwide Security Conference John A.

And, yes, as Karen and from 1999 to 2009 my children would agree, I’m a different person today because of George.

For a decade, George Russell was such a leader at the EastWest Institute. We honor George for all that he and his family have done to help transform EWI. The George Russell family joins the Ira Wallach and Don Kendall families as EWI’s historic leaders over these three decades. And we are delighted that, since he stepped down as Chairman, George is continuing to serve on the Board. George championed many causes at EWI: staff retreats, hosting several of them at his home in Gig Harbor, Washington; the Task Force for U.S.- Russian relations; the Private Sector Initiative aimed at strengthening the global competitiveness of Eastern Europe and Eurasia; and the expan- sion of the Institute’s focus further east towards China, India and other key players. Whatever the issues or the goals, he was a driving force in bring- ing planning discipline to EWI. Under his leadership, EWI developed its current strategic plan and the management processes to execute this plan. As George prepared to hand over the reins to cur- rent Chairman Francis Finlay in 2009, the tributes started pouring in. “George’s vision, energy, generos- ity and passion have been transformational for EWI,” Finlay noted. “His ideas, suggestions and contribu- tions have touched directly thousands of individuals.” Former EWI Chairman and current board member Martti Ahtisaari, winner of the 2008 Noble Peace Prize, 25

Below, clockwise from left: Devon Tucker and John Kluge, Jr.; Ryan Kreider; Senior Fellow Os Guinness; Piin-Fen Kok; Senior Fellow Najam Abbas; Vice President Guenter Overfeld Founded in 1980, the EastWest Institute is a global, action-oriented, think-and-do tank. EWI tackles the toughest international problems by:

Convening for discreet conversations representatives of institutions and nations that do not normally cooperate. EWI serves as a trusted global hub for back-channel “Track 2” diplomacy, and also organizes public forums to address peace and security issues.

Reframing issues to look for win-win solutions. Based on our special relations with Russia, China, the United States, Europe and other powers, EWI brings together disparate viewpoints to promote collaboration for positive change.

Mobilizing networks of key individuals from both the public and private sectors. EWI leverages its access to intellectual entrepreneurs and business and policy leaders around the world to defuse current conflicts and prevent future flare-ups.

The EastWest Institute is an international, non-partisan, not-for-profit policy organi- zation focused solely on confronting critical challenges that endanger peace. EWI was established in 1980 as a catalyst to build trust, develop leadership, and promote collabora- tion for positive change. The institute has offices in New York, Brussels, and Moscow.
