  • CENTRAL ASIA, the CAUCASUS, and 21St CENTURY SECURITY
    CENTRAL ASIA, THE CAUCASUS, AND 21st CENTURY SECURITY The Caucasus and Central Asia, where Eurasia joins South Asia and the Middle East, look vulnerable. Burdened by inadequate, but authoritarian gov- ernance, ethnic conflict, economic challenges, corruption, and other difficul- ties, none of the region’s states is succeeding. Cooperation among them is stunted, and global connections, except in energy, are little developed. New strategies are needed. These countries need to fashion more cooperative relations among themselves, and they need more effectively to be drawn into the global system and economy. The Atlantic Council’s Black Sea Energy and Economic Forum aims to support this work. Ross Wilson* * Ross Wilson is Director of the Dinu Patriciu Eurasia Center at the Atlantic Council of the United States and a Lecturer in International Affairs at George Washington University. A former diplomat, he served as U.S. Ambassador to Turkey and Azerbaijan. 23 VOLUME 10 NUMBER 2 ROSS WILSON reat conflicts and security challenges of the 20th century took place in Europe and Asia. Since 2001, Afghanistan and Iraq have been lead- ing preoccupations for foreign policy and security planners East and West. But other states in the region where Eurasia grinds up against South Asia and the Middle East –especially in Central Asia and the Caucasus– look vulnerable. No state in this region is really succeeding. They are variously burdened by inadequate and often authoritarian governance, immense economic problems, corruption, environmental, social, security, and other challenges. Insti- tutions are weak and highly personalized. Only Armenia has recently witnessed anything akin to a transition of power through the ballot box, and even that was contested.

  • An Interview with Tracey Ann Jacobson, U.S. Ambassador to Kosovo
    An Interview with Tracey Ann Jacobson, U.S. Ambassador to Kosovo Tracey Ann Jacobson has been the U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Kosovo since 2012. She previously served as the U.S. Ambassador to Turkmenistan (2003-2006) and Tajikistan (2006-2009), and had other international assignments in Nassau, Bahamas; Moscow, Russia; and Seoul, South Korea. Jacobson has also held several positions within the U.S. government, such as Deputy Director of the Foreign Service Institute (FSI) in Virginia and Deputy Executive Secretary at the National Security Council at the White House. The Politic: Why did you join the Foreign Service? There are two answers to that question. One of them is that I was naturally drawn to public service. My father was in the military. Both my grandmother and grandfather served in the British military in WWII, so we have a family tradition of public service. But the real reason is because of a party. I was working on my master’s degree in international relations. I was working as a financial analyst, and I figured I would probably do that after graduation. My friends had a row house in Georgetown, and they were going to throw a party on the Saturday that they all took the Foreign Service Exam. And I said, “Ok, I’ll just come to the party.” My friend Angela said, “You can’t just come to the party. You have to take the Foreign Service Test with me.” So I signed up, and I showed up at this hotel at 7:30 on Saturday morning.

  • Dear Mr. President Lindsay Rodman Piper Campbell Co- and The
    March 31, 2021 Dear Mr. President We write today with great appreciation for the commitment you made to strive for gender parity in your national security leadership. Your nominations and appointments thus far have served as a signal of your focus on elevating well-qualified women to leadership positions in your Administration. We celebrate our colleagues named to important roles, and thank you for what you have done so far. Among the national security leadership positions that remain, perhaps the most impactful are your overseas ambassadors. As you know, Ambassadors serve as the face of the United States to the world. Their demographics say a lot about the values and priorities of the Administration, including commitment to diversity, gender parity, and professionalism. The Leadership Council for Women in National Security (LCWINS) and Women Ambassadors Serving America (WASA) have joined together in this letter to request your commitment to gender parity among United States Ambassadors. Our vision of gender parity means that a man or a woman has an equal chance, at all times, of ascending to each ambassadorship. This should be true across all geographic regions, in posts both large and small. As you build out your diplomatic leadership, we hope you will pay attention to growing allies within the U.S. government who will also focus upon the diversity America’s representatives to the world should demonstrate. This includes looking at how men and women are distributed at our diplomatic missions; no post should be viewed as gendered, internally to the U.S. government or externally to the world.
