TESTIMONIALS

“The EastWest Institute is challenging each of us to rethink our international security priorities in order to get things moving again. You know, as we do, that we need specific actions, not words. As your slogan so aptly puts it, you are a ‘think and do tank.”

EWI Celebrates Its 30th Anniversary

n early October, there was a flurry of articles about Afghan and Pakistani political lead- ers meeting in Kabul. CNN and other media reported that the talks were organized by the EastWest Institute, part of a larger process aimed at rebuilding trust between the two countries. Who attended the meetings and what did they say? Those details were not reported.

For thirty years, the EastWest Institute has done groundbreaking, but often below-the- radar diplomatic work. As Founder and President John Edwin Mroz explains, “Leaders we work with tell us that what draws them to EWI is our ability to work discreetly.” Mroz says leaders also appreciate that EWI focuses not only on publishing reports, but also on spurring actions designed to produce concrete results.

I“The EastWest Institute is challenging each of us to rethink our international security priorities in order to get things moving again,” says UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. “As your slogan

EWI • ANNUAL REPORT 2010 REPORT ANNUAL • EWI so aptly puts it, you are a ‘think and do tank.’”

12 Mroz and Ira Wallach founded EWI as an independent nonprofit dedicated “to making the world a safer and better place.” Over the years, EWI has attracted a diverse array of women and men from around the world as staff, fellows, directors and donors.

During the Cold War, the institute’s underlying premise was that the two sides – the United States and its Western allies, and the Soviet Union and the rest of the Eastern bloc – should at least be talking with each other about how to defuse potential flashpoints.

In May 2009, for example, EWI released a Joint Threat Assessment on Iran, produced by senior U.S. and Russian experts convened by the institute. According to The Wall Street Journal, it helped inform the EWI Board members with the Former Obama administration’s decision to scrap the President of the Czech Republic Vaclav Havel missile defense plan proposed by the Bush administration, replacing it with a new ballis- tic missile defense plan tailored more closely to counter any potential threat from Iran. This led to a breakthrough in U.S.-Russia relations that helped spur the “reset” process.

It’s difficult to predict the newspaper stories of tomorrow, but chances are that they will include news from Kabul, where EWI will con- tinue building trust between Pakistan and Af- ghanistan. And Beijing, where EWI is conven- ing party-to-party talks with representatives of both the Republican and Democratic Party from the United States. And Moscow, where EWI is bringing together technical and policy experts from Russia and the United States to The 90s study Afghan drug trafficking, with the larger REBUILDING SOCIETIES aim of improving the countries’ relationship.

To that end, EWI hosted the first ever military- to-military discussions between the NATO and countries in 1984. These talks paved the way for an agreement requir- ing each side to alert the other of troop move- ments, reducing the risk of war.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the erup- tion of local conflicts in Eastern Europe, EWI worked to foster economic stability in the EWI • ANNUAL REPORT 2010 REPORT ANNUAL • EWI region, encouraging cross-border coopera- tion and helping prepare a new generation of 14 leaders. In the past ten years, EWI’s opera- tions have expanded geographically to China, Southwest Asia and the Middle East, focusing on issues like economic security, countering violent extremism and cybersecurity.

By encouraging constructive dialogue and candid exchange among policymakers, academics, and the business community, STBI programs aim to measurably increase strategic trust among the major world powers.

ames Clapper, the U.S. Director of National Intelligence, recently told the Sen- ate Armed Services Committee that China and Russia “represent a mortal threat to the United States.” Just a few months earlier, Walter Isaacson, the Chairman of the Broadcasting Board of Governors that oversees the Voice of America and other public diplomacy outlets, referred to China and Russia as “enemies.” For their part, Chinese leaders have forcefully voiced their ongoing concern about U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, and Russian leaders have done the same in response to U.S.-NATO missile defense plans in Europe. Senior poli- cymakers agree that a significant barrier to full-fledged partnerships among these countries is strategic mistrust.

early every crucial In- ternet message, from a financial trade to an encoded military communiqué, travels through undersea fi- ber-optic cables span- ning the globe. While generally reliable, the cables are vulnerable: a natural event, like an undersea earthquake, or sabotage could damage a key point where Nthe cables converge, disrupting connectivity for weeks and costing the world economy bil- lions of dollars.

Working with IEEE, EWI is fostering private- public partnerships to protect the cables, which are built and maintained by a handful of companies. In 2010, as a part of our Re- liability of Global Undersea Cable Communi- cations Infrastructure (ROGUCCI) program, EWI met with financial and government lead- ers in New Delhi, Hong Kong, Paris and Lon- don to discuss how best to ensure the rapid repair of cables.

As is the case for other security problems facing the Internet, there is no purely national solution for protecting undersea fiber-optic cables. Instead, skilled and dedicated indi- viduals from every country and sector need to work together. This is why EWI created the first truly global forum for protecting our world’s digital infrastructure, the Worldwide Cybersecurity Initiative.

John A. Gunn, a founding member of EWI’s Chairman’s Council, has been one of the insti- tute’s strongest supporters for the past decade. With their generosity, he and his wife Cyn- thia continually demonstrate their faith and confidence in EWI’s direction and initiatives. Gunn has not only offered valuable advice to EWI, but has also opened his contact networks to the institute, inviting the kind of support that makes EWI’s work possible. By his extraordinary example as a business world leader, as well as an active member of his local community, Gunn inspires us at EWI to be persistent and creative in tackling the world’s toughest security chal- lenges. At EWI, we are grateful for the involvement and guidance of supporters like Gunn.

EWI Remembers John W. Kluge

On September 7, 2010, the EWI family was tremendously saddened to lose John W. Kluge, a beloved friend of the institute. After his passing, EWI President John Mroz re- flected, “There are perhaps a dozen legends — giants of men who over our thirty-year history have enabled EWI to go where others could not. One of those giants was John W. Kluge.”

Kluge offered EWI tremendously generous support, with a decisive gift that anchored the endowment nearly a decade ago. He freely shared his advice and wise counsel. The institute was honored to recognize Kluge with EWI’s Corporate Statesman Award, at an event led by Donald Kendall, Sr. and John Whitehead. Kluge was a member of EWI’s board, and also chaired a number of EWI’s annual awards dinners, opening the institute’s doors to other influential and generous supporters.

EWI • ANNUAL REPORT 2010 REPORT ANNUAL • EWI On his last visit with Mroz, Kluge talked about his son, John Kluge, Jr., who is an indis- pensible member of EWI’s current team. Mroz recalls, “We discussed how proud he 48 was to see his son care so much about changing the world and his pride that this was being done at the EastWest Institute.”

John W. Kluge was a rare friend and colleague, and is greatly missed. His legacy and commitment to EWI will always be remembered.

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-chan- nel “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 a non-partisan, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with offices in New York, Brussels and Moscow. Our fiercely-guarded independence is ensured by the diversity of our international board of directors and our supporters.
