Russia Panel Dec-14 Page 1 of 28 Amy Zegart
Russia Panel Dec-14 Amy Zegart: Good afternoon, everyone. I want to invite you all to get seated and get comfortable for a very interesting afternoon. I want to welcome you all. My name is Amy Zegart. I’m a Senior Fellow and the Co-director of the Center for International Security and Cooperation here in the Freeman Spogli Institute, and I’m also a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution. Boy, are we lucky to have this panel this afternoon. It is no more timely moment to be looking at the past, present and future of U.S.-Russian relations and nuclear security than today. Let me add for those of you who may not have seen the news that Tom Schilling, one of the great strategic thinkers in nuclear security passed away today. So, it’s particularly fitting that we Reflect in part on the ideas and the contributions of the distinguished panelists that we have here, and Tom Schilling whose work was so central to Deterrence Theory during the Cold War. Now, each of our panelists I have to add on a lighter note since it is the holiday season, has written one, if not more, critically acclaimed books with very uplifting titles like, “Doomed to Cooperate,” “My Journey at the Nuclear Brink,” “Stalin and the Bomb,” and “The Dead Hand.” However, Mike McFaul has written a book that he’s recently finished that’s due out soon, so I’m hoping there’s a more uplifting title than that. Mike McFaul: All my titles are way more uplifting than these others. -

Nuclear Weapons In a New Century: Facing the Emerging Challenges March 6 and 7, 2007 UCLA Ronald W. Burkle Center for International Relations at UCLA Welcome “The most spectacular event of the past half century is one that did not occur” THE 21st century has ushered in new security challenges to the international order, while older challenges persist. Among the most pressing is the threat of nuclear weapons. In accepting the Nobel prize for economics in 2005, Tom Schelling wrote the words above, remarking on the astonishing sixty years the world has enjoyed – astonishing because, despite possessing many thousands of nuclear warheads, the world has managed to refrain from using any of them in conflict. We hope the same will be said after sixty more years. We have convened this conference at UCLA to examine the urgent nuclear challenges the world faces in the 21st century, and to explore solutions, or at least approaches, to these challenges. The situations in North Korea and Iran dominate the news today, but other problems exist as well. Tensions in South Asia, the accelerating demand for peaceful nuclear technology, the prospect of nuclear terrorism – these and many other threats are serious and difficult. Are our existing multilateral regimes up to the task? Or will nations increasingly choose to take unilateral steps to prevent proliferation? While not all of the issues at stake in the field of nuclear proliferation can be addressed in a day-and-a-half, the conference format allows us to discuss many of the most significant. We have invited an outstanding set of speakers to UCLA, and I encourage each of you to attend as many of the panels as possible. -
Demystifying Us Intelligence
DEMYSTIFYING U.S INTELLIGENCE Preliminary Syllabus Stanford Continuing Studies Instructors: Profs Thomas Fingar and Barry Schutz Dates/Times: Prof Barry Schutz will be available for a few minutes after each class and Prof Tom Fingar will be available on evenings when he is present. For course questions and administrative comments, please contact only Prof Schutz by email. Course Grading: Three Options: ` No Grade Requested (default option) . If you elect to Credit/No Credit, attendance will determine grade . If you elect a letter grade, the paper to be elaborated later will determine your grade Course Description This course focuses on the importance of intelligence analysis in the entire intelligence process. While espionage and covert action comprise the sexy material for intelligence in the movies and in fictional literature, it is written analysis that provides policymakers with the knowledge that they need. It is no exaggeration to say that it is impossible to understand the objectives, priorities, approaches, and instruments of American foreign policy without understanding the processes of intelligence production. This course examines roles, missions, and methods of the U.S. Intelligence Community, and how intelligence professionals, primarily analysts, manufacture an essential product for the effective making of foreign policy. Instructors Thomas Fingar served as the first Deputy Director of National Intelligence for Analysis and, at the same time, Chairman of the National Intelligence Council from 2005 through 2008. His responsibilities included production of the President’s Daily Brief, National Intelligence Estimates, and implementation of the historic 2004 Intelligence Reform Act. He also served as Assistant Secretary of State for Intelligence and Research in the administrations of Bill Clinton and George W. -
