    1 Griff Witte, the Trump Administration Tried to Save a U.S. University by Playing Nice with an Autocrat

    June 3, 2019 VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL U.S. Department of State Office of Information Programs and Services A/GIS/IPS/RL SA-2, Suite 8100 Washington, DC 20522-0208 [email protected] Re: Freedom of Information Act Request Dear Freedom of Information Officer: Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 552, and the implementing regulations of the Department of State (State), 22 C.F.R. Part 171, American Oversight makes the following request for records. The United States’ policy towards Hungary has pivoted sharply in the past year, as the influence of Hungary’s far-right Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has reportedly risen within the Trump administration and State’s criticism of Orbán’s human rights record and recent democratic backsliding has waned. In December 2018, the U.S. stood by as Orbán evicted the prestigious university and bastion of academic freedom, Central European University (CEU), from Budapest.1 This month, President Trump hosted Orbán in the White House—the first such visit since 2005.2 When asked in a recent interview about Orbán’s description of his government as an “illiberal democracy,” Trump’s ambassador to Hungary, David Cornstein, responded: “I can tell you, knowing the president for a good 25 or 30 years, that he would love to have the situation that Viktor Orbán has, but he doesn’t.”3 1 Griff Witte, The Trump Administration Tried to Save a U.S. University by Playing Nice with an Autocrat.

  • The U.S. South Caucasus Strategy and Azerbaijan

    The U.S. South Caucasus Strategy and Azerbaijan

    THE U.S. SOUTH CAUCASUS STRATEGY AND AZERBAIJAN This article analyzes the evolution of U.S. foreign policy in the South Cauca- sus through three concepts, “soft power”, “hard power” and “smart power” which have been developed under the administrations of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama respectively. The authors also aim to identify how the US strategy towards this region has been perceived in Azerbaijan, which, due to its geographical position, energy resources and geopolitical environment, is one of the “geopolitical pivots of Eurasia”. Inessa Baban & Zaur Shiriyev* * Inessa Baban is a Ph.D candidate in geopolitics at Paris-Sorbonne University of France. She is a former visiting scholar at Center for Strategic Studies under the President of Azerbaijan. Zaur Shiriyev is a foreign policy analyst at the same think tank. The views expressed in this article are entirely personal. 93 VOLUME 9 NUMBER 2 INESSA BABAN & ZAUR SHIRIYEV he U.S. strategy towards the South Caucasus has become one of the most controversial issues of American foreign policy under the Obama administration. Most American experts argue that because of the current priorities of the U.S. government, the South Caucasus region does not get the attention that it merits. Even if they admit that none of U.S.’ interests in the Caucasus “fall under the vital category”1 there is a realization that Washington must reconsider its policy towards this region which matters geopolitically, economically and strategically. The South Caucasus, also referred as Transcaucasia, is located between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, neighboring Central Asia to the east, the Middle East to the south, and Eastern Europe to the west, hence connecting Europe to Asia.

  • Who Is Mike Pompeo?

    Who Is Mike Pompeo?

    Who is Mike Pompeo? by Jack in the Antipodes 11 November 2020 It seems like an odd thing to be talking about the US Secretary of State at a time like this, but Mike Pompeo is in some ways the most interesting person left in Donald Trump’s inner circle. So I want to give some background and then put into some context a couple of things he’s said recently that should have raised more interest than they did. First up, Wikipedia says that he was born on 30 December 1963 to parents Wayne Pompeo and Dorothy (nee Mercer). It doesn’t say what his parents did for a living but their family tree shows up nothing remarkable to my untrained eye, other than a great-great-grandmother on his mother’s side who was a Bechtel, and a great-grandfather on his mother’s side who was called Ulysses Grant Mercer. As Ulysses was born in 1868, three years after the end of the Civil War, I’d guess that it was a tribute to General Grant, who would have had the celebrity status in those days that we attribute to movie stars in the present. Miles: no, more likely they were related. That is what we have always found. And Bechtel links us to the Bechtel Corporation, the largest construction company in the US, which built the nuclear plants including Three Mile Island. It was founded by Warren Abraham Bechtel, Jewish, who on his maternal side was also a Bentz and an Alspach. Also a Greenawalt and a Moyer on this father's side.

The focus throughout is on both the thinking and the politics of what can be termed "the 1965 Indonesia policy group."2 That unofficial group was the informal constellation of US officials both in Indonesia (in the Embassy-based country team)3 and in Washington (in the *This article has enjoyed a long, troubled odyssey. Growing out of intermittent research on American-Indonesian relations dating back to my doctoral dissertation field research in Jakarta in 1963-1965, the substance of the article, including its primary conclusions, was presented in papers at the August 1979 Indonesian Studies Con­ ference in Berkeley and the March 1980 International Studies Association Conference in Los Angeles. I am in­ debted to the American Philosophical Society, the Lyndon Baines Johnson Foundation, and the Vassar College Faculty Research Committee for grants in 1976-1979 which facilitated the brunt of the archival and interview re­ search undergirding the article.

    Monarch News March/April 2019

    Monarch News March/April 2019 CEO’s Executive Summary The bilateral relationship whipsawed from good news to bad news to utter frustration these past few weeks. With the delivery of the International Trade Commission’s economic analysis and the Mexican Congress’ approval of labor reform, the door has, theoretically, creaked open for the ratification of the USMCA. Yet many U.S. domestic hurdles remain, including metals tariffs, significant Democratic (and some Republican) Party opposition, and a rapidly closing window of opportunity due to the Canadian and U.S. electoral calendars. Despite our highest hopes, we remain concerned that ratification of the agreement will likely be postponed until after the 2020 U.S. presidential election. President Trump finally nominated a new ambassador to Mexico, but Christopher Landau waits for Senate confirmation along with 31 other ambassadorial nominees. Jared Kushner’s seemingly successful March visit to Mexico was followed by a good ministerial meeting on migration, but both were overshadowed by a series of Trump tweets in which the president threatened to close the border and tax Mexican auto exports if Mexico did not meet his migration demands. And, although the president ultimately backed down, his decision to reassign border personnel away from ports of Washington, D.C. | Los Angeles | Mexico City | Monterrey www.monarch-global.com entry generated massive and costly delays at key border crossings. His constant tweets attacking Mexico remain a continuing irritant in the bilateral relationship that is very unlikely to abate. In Mexico, President López Obrador announced that his government would stop implementing the 2013 education reform.
