The 2013 seminar is jointly organized by the Center for Global Communication Studies (CGCS) at the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg School for Communication, The American Austrian Foundation (AAF), and the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna (DA). Guests include those working for state and multi- lateral organizations, journalists, media development practitioners, academics, and a select group of highly engaged graduate students interested in the seminar themes. The organizers envision the Milton Wolf Seminar as a meeting place for media practitioners, diplomats, academics, and students to share their perspectives, formulate new ideas, and identify areas where further research is needed. While the seminar will incorporate various speakers and panels, it is designed as a two-day continuing conversation in which all participants are encouraged to openly engage in dialogue and explore potential synergies and future collaborations. In order to encourage an open exchange of ideas, seminar attendance is limited only to invited participants and students. THEMATIC OVERVIEW The 2013 seminar, Diplomatic Maneuvers and Journalistic Coverage in a Time of Reset, Pivot and Rebalance addresses the critical role of diplomats and journalists in shaping the outcomes of what we call global geopolitical pivots. Pivots in this case refer to emergent geopolitical shifts around which multiple stakeholders--from major powers, to multilateral organizations, to bloggers working in isolation--seek to provide input on the most appropriate outcomes. As Zbigniew Brzezinski (1998) defined them, "Geopolitical pivots are the states whose importance is derived not from their power and motivation but rather from their sensitive location and from the consequences of their potentially vulnerable condition for the behavior of geo-strategic players. Most often, geopolitical pivots are determined by their geography, which in some cases gives them a special role in either defining access to important areas or in denying resources to a significant player.” Examples of contemporary global pivots that will be considered in this year’s Seminar include: the shifts in geopolitical approaches to Syria, the external role of Iran and the fixing on Syrian conflict, calls for regime change in Iran, and the intense Western attention to reform movements and government change in Burma (Myanmar). In the case of Syria, since protestors first took to the streets in 2011, a range of actors have participated in a complex and shifting web of global diplomatic discussions surrounding the legitimacy of the al-Assad regime, the utility of international intervention in the civil war, and the viability of the disparate Syrian opposition movements. Burma, also known as Myanmar, a closed regime ruled by the military since 1962, underwent its first election in 2010. Although boycotted by the opposition, this election marked the first sign of emergent changes within the country and has ignited the diplomatic community. Burma’s return to geopolitical prominence was punctuated by visits by US Secretary of State Hillary 1 Clinton in December 2011 and President Barak Obama in November 2012. They were the first senior US officials to visit the country in over fifty years. The third geopolitical pivot under analysis is the case of Iran. In 2009-2010 the world watched as election protesters took to the streets of Iran. While the Green Revolution failed to achieve regime change, those events, coupled with heightened security concerns over Israel, Syria, and the Iranian nuclear program, have placed Iran at the heart of global diplomatic conversations. In each of these cases, different state and non-state actors have put forward competing narratives advocating particular outcomes. These narratives are circulated, among other mechanisms, through political speeches, in the press, and via the internet. This year’s seminar will explore the critical role of this narrative construction in shaping diplomatic outcomes. How do diplomats, journalists, and other stakeholders seek to advocate for particular outcomes, and to what effect? Conversely, how do these geopolitical pivots or shifts affect on-going narratives of democratization, shifts from authoritarian regimes, and the role of media and communications in diplomacy?

    Case No. 21184/01/16 State Attorney of Israel V. Breaking the Silence

    Case No. 21184/01/16 State Attorney of Israel v. Breaking the Silence Brief of Amici Curiae Prof. Eva Brems Anthony Lester, QC Gilbert Marcus, SC Prof. Monroe Price Prof. Andrey Rikhter Prof. Herman Schwartz Prof. Yuval Shany Prof. Dirk Voorhoof Prepared with the assistance of the Open Society Justice Initiative 1. As experts in the field of international law on freedom of expression and comparative media law, we provide this submission to assist the Petah Tikva Magistrates’ Court in its deliberations on the State Attorney’s request for a warrant for the production of documentation held by Breaking the Silence (BtS). The submission provides an overview of international law and standards relevant to the issue, as well as legal precedents established at the domestic level in other democracies. 2. This brief was drafted by the Open Society Justice Initiative. We have requested Michael Sfard, attorney for BtS, to file the brief with the Court. 3. This submission addresses two issues: A. The right to protect sources extends to non-governmental organizations such as BtS. It is well-established in international law that media workers and outlets enjoy a right to protect their sources of information, subject only to narrow exceptions. This right derives from the right to freedom of expression. The practice of international courts and mechanisms, although limited, indicates that the right to protect sources is not limited to traditional journalists and media, and can also be invoked by other social communicators, notably non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that gather and publish information of public interest. A number of precedents established at the domestic level in other democracies lend further support to this view.

    The Constitution of a Nation, State by State

    books in print The Constitution of a Nation, State by State Although the United States has one Constitution, the laws of that docu- ment are viewed differently depending not only on the people interpreting it but the places from which they come. Would, for example, Abraham Lincoln have felt so strongly that secession was unconstitutional—that the Union preceded and superseded the States— if his geographical background were different? In his book of essays The Law of the Land, Sterling Professor of Law Akhil Reed Amar ’84 writes, “… consider how the world looked to Lincoln in 1861. His forebears came from several states—Kentucky, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and possibly New England as well…. He himself had lived in three states, having been born in Kentucky and having moved to Indiana at age seven and then on to Illinois as a young man. He and his family were first and foremost not Virginians, or Pennsylvanians, or New Englanders, or Kentuckian or Hoosiers or even Illinoisians. They were Americans.” The essays in The Law of the Land discuss the difference that states make on American jurisprudence. Each state has its own laws and culture, and these geographic and regional differences have impacted the nation throughout history. Amar’s writing gives a view of the historical roots of, and contemporary solutions to, many important constitu- tional questions. The three sections of the book focus on constitutional interpreters, constitutional cases, and constitutional provisions and principles. Each of the twelve essays in the book looks at a different state. In Florida, Amar breaks down the Bush v.

Nowhere does Franklin feel more contemporary, more revolutionary, and more alive than at the University of Pennsylvania. His startling vision of a secular, nonsectarian Academy that would foster an “Inclination join’d with an Ability to serve Mankind, one’s Country, Friends and Family” has never ceased to challenge Penn to redefine the scope and mission of the modern American university. When pursued vigorously and simultaneously, the two missions – developing the inclination to do good and the ability to do well – merge to help form a more perfect university that educates more capable citizens for our democracy. Penn has embodied and advanced Franklin’s revolutionary vision for 277 years. Throughout its history, Penn has extended the frontiers of higher learning and research to produce graduates and scholars whose work has enriched the nation and all of humanity. The modern liberal arts curriculum as we know it can trace its roots to Franklin’s innovation to have Penn students study international commerce and foreign languages.

    Freedom of Expression and the Information Society: a Legal Analysis Toward a Libertarian Framework for Libel

    FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND THE INFORMATION SOCIETY: A LEGAL ANALYSIS TOWARD A LIBERTARIAN FRAMEWORK FOR LIBEL DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Nikhil Moro, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Prabu David, Advisor Professor Elliot Slotnick Professor David Goldberger ________________________ Professor Sharon West Advisor Professor Young Mie Kim Graduate Program in Communication ABSTRACT Web blogs, as alternate sources of political opinion and analysis, have enabled new voices that can empower netizens and democratize information access. Their larger social contribution may be that they increase manifold the ideas available in the marketplace, in theory challenging any information hegemony of an increasingly consolidating corporate media. Bloggers, citizen journalists and others of the fifth estate have joined the social conversation by acting as watchdogs of not just government but also of the corporate media. Libel law, as a determinant of freedom of expression, also defines the democratic values of individual self-fulfillment, marketplace of ideas, and empowerment. Libel lawsuits, however, impose a chilling effect, a chill which is exacerbated for the fifth estate by the challenge of multiple personal jurisdictions – a netizen can be hauled before a court whose location, laws and procedures are hard to predict. The dissertation addresses that express challenge by proposing a separate common jurisdiction for libel cases that emanate in the information society. Specifically, it delineates a normative, inductive, theoretical framework for that common jurisdiction after analyzing the fundamental principles of freedom of expression characterizing jurisprudence.

The Speculative Influence of Academic Research on the Making of Communications Policy: Reflections, Recollections and Informal erspectivP es Abstract This informal collection is designed to further a dialogue about the relationship between communications research and policy making. In particular it focuses on the impact of academic research on communications policy, and whether, and how, policy draws upon research (if at all). As quasi-editors (and commissioners of these essays) we have been highlighting various assumptions in the process. These assumptions mark every stage of the question (of the relevance of what academics do to what policy makers do). They mark an idealized mode of thinking about policy-making—an idealized mode sometimes articulated in legislation or judicial decision (or agency practice). The assumptions include the following: • Good and democratic policy making should be based upon an informed deliberation, and include relevant research findings.
