  • Russia, Iran and the (Increasingly) Lonely Superpower
    MARCH 2015 RUSSIA, IRAN, AND THE (INCREASINGLY) LONELY SUPERPOWER By John R. Haines John R. Haines is a Senior Fellow of the Foreign Policy Research Institute and directs the Princeton Committee of FPRI. Much of his current research is focused on Russia and its near abroad, with a special interest in nationalist and separatist movements. The translation of all source material is by the author unless noted otherwise. Leadership is the other side of the coin of loneliness. -Ferdinand Marcos There is no loneliness greater than the loneliness of a failure. -Eric Hoffer “The Lonely Superpower” is the title of Samuel Huntington’s 1999 essay in which he wrote, “The circle of governments who see their interests coinciding with American interests is shrinking. This is manifest, among other ways, in the central lineup among the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council.”1 Nowhere does it manifest more clearly today than in the current P5+1 talks with Iran. The P5+1 group consists of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council—China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States—plus Germany. According to Kayhan Barzegar, who directs the Tehran-based Institute of Middle East Strategic Studies, “The logic of Iran-Russia relations in the P5+1 has so far been based on three strategic principles: implementing diplomacy, removing sanctions, and containing the threat.”2 Barzegar claims that in January, the P5+1 signaled a shift in emphasis away from strategic and weaponization aspects of the Iranian nuclear program—“the Israeli and the Saudi paths...to bring the Iranian nuclear program to zero”—and toward considerations of verification and transparency.3 The three European P5+1 members' reaction to the recent letter to Iran's leaders drafted by Arkansas freshman Senator Tom Cotton was unsurprising if varying in tone.

Eying re-election is current Secretary General Luis Almagro. He faces stiff competition, however, despite being publicly backed by the US, Brazil and Colombia. Formerly a chancellor of Uruguay in the government of José Mujica, Almagro secured the OAS’ top position in 2015 pledging to promote regional dialogue, and received the near unanimous support of member states. However, his leadership style is seen by many as belligerent, especially over Venezuela, and this, coupled with his closeness to certain governments in the region, has weakened his hand to negotiate.

  • Joint High-Level Session of the Oas Permanent Council and the Inter-American Council for Integral Development
    JOINT HIGH-LEVEL SESSION OF THE OAS PERMANENT COUNCIL AND THE INTER-AMERICAN COUNCIL FOR INTEGRAL DEVELOPMENT Monday, March 19, 2018 10:00am – 1:00pm OAS Main Building, Hall of the Americas 17th St and Constitution Ave Washington, DC Opening remarks by Dr. Carissa Etienne Honorable Juan Aníbal Barría, Permanent Representative of Chile and Chair of the Permanent Council, Honorable Carlos Alberto Calles, Permanent Representative of El Salvador and Chair of the Inter-American Council for Integral Development, Honorable Selwin Charles Hart, Permanent Representative of Barbados, Ambassador Nestor Mendez, Assistant Secretary General of the Organization of American States, Sir George Alleyne, Director Emeritus, PAHO Distinguished delegates, ladies and gentlemen, Good morning, It is a pleasure for me to participate in this joint high-level session of the OAS Permanent Council and the Inter-American Council for Integral Development on NCDs and to share my perspectives on how you, as ambassadors and representatives of your countries, can help to address one of the most critical issues hampering sustainable development in the Americas, that is, non-communicable diseases or NCDs. You may be wondering why a health topic, as specific as NCDs, is being brought to the attention of the Permanent Council; particularly when PAHO, as a specialized agency of the OAS, is already dealing with this public health matter. Well, there are three compelling reasons to bring NCDs to your urgent attention. First and foremost, is the tremendous and overwhelming impact on the development of our societies, of these four diseases – cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, and chronic 1 respiratory diseases; and their four risk factors- tobacco use, harmful use of alcohol, poor diet and physical inactivity.

  • Santiago, Chile. October 3 to 5, 2017. Organizers: • Inter-American
    XIII ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE INTER-AMERICAN NETWORK ON GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT VALUE FOR MONEY IN PUBLIC PROCUREMENT AGENDA Venue: Santiago, Chile. October 3 to 5, 2017. Organizers: Inter-American Network on Government Procurement ChileCompra Inter-American Development Bank Organization of American States Introduction: Over the past years, a new vision on how to measure success on public procurement has been developed. Procurement decisions based only on price have evolved into a multicriteria approach that considers additional dimensions such as quality and sustainability. A commonly accepted form to express this change is the idea that procurement should achieve the best Value for Money (VfM). In practice, this has been interpreted as the capacity to award contracts taking into consideration economic, environmental and social dimensions of the bids using both monetary and non-monetary criteria. Under competitive procedures or negotiations, the best VfM can be typically formalized in an evaluation formula, a rule that assigns common values to different bid elements that are frequently expressed in different measurement units. However, VfM, more than a formula, is an approach and a principle which meaning, scope and relevance is still being discussed in different forums. The Inter-American Network on Government Procurement joins the debate and dedicates its XII Annual Conference to discuss the key elements to understand this important concept and its integration to the different stages and modalities of public procurement. 1 Agenda Time Day 1 8:00 – 8:45 Registration 9:00 – 10:00 Inauguration Chilean National Anthem Welcome Messages President Michelle Bachelet Amb.
