Course Length: May be purchased as: (A) a 1-day course (B) a 2-day course (C) a 3-day course ** May be purchased as field seminar** Minimum and 1 min Maximum 40 max Participants: Course The United States continues to face serious strategic, economic and Description: political challenges throughout the region. The continuing military engagements in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Iranian nuclear program, the war on terror, and the politics of oil will all pose critical tests for Congress, the current White House and the Pentagon. This seminar will discuss each of these areas of concern and analyze how US foreign policy makers might respond. Stability in the Middle East and America’s relationship with the wider Muslim world are linked to how effectively the United States manages a number of difficult issues, ranging from Iraq's fragile democracy and Iran's nuclear ambitions to the terrorist insurgency in Afghanistan. The stakes will be high since what happens in these three pivotal states will be felt by key American allies from Turkey to the Horn of Africa. Achieving even basic security in the Middle East will depend on an array of political and economic variables abroad and on an equally important partisan debate in Washington. In this Political-Economic Conflict Seminar, attendees will explore US strategic options as well as the politics, culture, and the religious and sectarian issues at the heart of this tumultuous region.

Some of those changes arise from their geographical location. Others are the result of the region’s increasingly important role as suppliers of natural resources. And still a third group is the product of the increasing impact of radical Islam on the politics and societies of these countries and their neighbors. Central Asia remains an exotic terra incognita, a place many have heard about but few have had the chance to work in or study in any detail. The Pentagon was the first US government department to treat the countries of Central Asia administratively as part of the broader Middle East rather than as components of the former Soviet Union by placing them under CENTCOM. Drawing on the expertise of noted authorities in their fields, this workshop will focus on the economic and political changes taking place in Central Asia.

Course For centuries terrorism has been a tactic used by radical political Description: movements, however, modern terror networks, combining Islamic fanaticism with sophisticated financing and communications, today are a global threat. Moreover, the sponsorship of terrorism by rogue states and the risk posed by the inaction of some governments have made this an increasingly serious threat to the international community. Defeating terrorism and rooting out the criminal activities it often depends on will require unprecedented international cooperation. But, as recent history shows, getting nations to agree on policies and methods for combating terrorist groups has not been easy. In addition to an examination of recruitment and illicit funding to the spread and interdiction of terrorist activity, this Political Economic Conflict Seminar will examine the global phenomenon of terrorism, the historic contexts in which it develops, and the latest policy and strategic initiatives designed to contain and defeat it. Bringing together over a dozen experts from government, the military, intelligence services and the media, the International Terrorism—The Arab World and Beyond will provide an in-depth examination of the origins and operations of terrorist organizations.

The states in this region are struggling under the weight of the past even as they seek reap the benefits of the globalizing economy and society. Broad sections of the societies in the countries of this region are being transformed and emerging as major players on the global economic stage. There are also large numbers of groups and states that are resisting this historical transformation. It remains very much an open question as to whether or not these societies can change themselves into liberal democratic and free market economies. Their incorporation into the global economy as responsible partners is central to American foreign policy. Failure to achieve these ends could lead to such internal instability as to increase immigration pressures on the United States, breed terrorism, and provide the opportunities for external influences from countries, such as Russia and China, with aspirations not necessarily compatible with U.S. interests. This seminar will explore the diverse pressures, ambitions, and fears playing on America's hemispheric neighbors and their implications for US policies and strategies with regional experts, foreign policy specialists, and political and economic commentators.

Distinguish the convergence of interests that both create alignments between Latin American and a number of external powers and provoke intense competition and even armed clashes 4. Evaluate the cultural divergences and divides generated by geography and language, religion, race and ethnicity, and socio- economic class 5.

Moscow’s intervention in Ukraine in 2014 and the inability or unwillingness of the West to force the Russian government to back down raise the prospect of many more such confrontations in the future. However much the US opposes what Russia is doing in this regard—there are many areas where Washington and Moscow appear to have common interests and reasons for cooperating. Managing the relationship is likely to prove extremely difficult.

At the same time, however, European leaders continue to look to Washington for leadership in defense matters. That tension raises the question: Will the parties move further apart in the next decade?

Consequently, the US-China relationship may very well be the central issue of American foreign policy. Historically, the rise of new or renewed great powers has often been accompanied by turmoil and even general war. Moreover, the entry of a great power into the diplomatic arena has normally been accompanied by dramatic transformations within the domestic society of the rising power. There is no question that the emergence of China as a truly global power will test the wisdom and skill, as well as the tenacity and agility of the United States.
