ROGERS CHAIRMAN FREDERICK KEMPE PRESIDENT & CEO The Atlantic Council was INTRODUCTION built for this historic moment It might seem counter-intuitive to look backward in this Atlantic Council Annual Report for 2019 when the world ATLANTIC COUNCIL ANNUAL REPORT REPORT ANNUAL COUNCIL ATLANTIC is hurtling forward at warp speed. Yet it is only by understanding the ingredients involved in our past year’s performance (see pages 54–55)— preceded by a dozen years of growth and innovation (see pages 52–53)— that one can understand why the Atlantic Council has so successfully negotiated the historic disruptions of 2020. The pages that follow, the Atlantic Council’s Annual Report for 2019, capture what may have been the most successful year in the Atlantic Council’s six-decade existence. That’s certainly G-7 Working Session on the Global Economy, true by any financial measure, and that Foreign Policy, and Security Affairs in Biarritz. 4 is also underscored in this report’s review ANDREW HARNIK/POOL VIA REUTERS We together seek to understand and manage the impact of these times on our community of values and common interests.

Above all, we are benefiting from three strengths that were in place before the coronavirus struck: a compelling mission and purpose, a committed global community of stakeholders ATLANTIC COUNCIL ANNUAL REPORT REPORT ANNUAL COUNCIL ATLANTIC and donors, and a diverse, dynamic, and results-oriented team. Let’s take them in order. SHAPING THE GLOBAL FUTURE TOGETHER First, the short version of our mission statement, “shaping the global future together,” is only five words long, but those words express a world of meaning. “Shaping” speaks to the results-ori- ented nature of how we operate. We aspire not just to admire and analyze challenges, but to inspire, seek, and 6 implement solutions wherever possible. following the first and second world wars.

The wonder of REUTERS/FABRIZIO BENSCH it is how much was done.” Our challenge now is no less formidable. Rather than creating a world out of post-war chaos, as Acheson put it, the task now is to reinvent the world for the 21st century while heading off the myriad INTRODUCTION threats of disarray that are emerging all around us. The mission is to find novel ways to preserve and improve upon the best of what we have achieved together in the past seventy-five years, knowing that the consequences of failure could be even more horrific than World War II given the war-fighting technologies of our times. Though the decades since that war have been punctuated with setbacks, the overall trajectory was one of demo- cratic gain and the expansion and protection of individual rights, prosperity, and rules-based institutions. The United States and the Soviet Union, though both nuclear-armed, avoided major-power war. The Berlin Wall’s fall and Soviet collapse ended that era peacefully. 7 The Atlantic Council’s most recent In 2020, for the sixth year running, strategic review—involving both staff and the Atlantic Council was recognized board members—laid out six major chal- with a four-star Charity Navigator lenges that are at the center of our work rating, recognizing our commitment for this new epoch. to industry best practices regarding both They include: our financial health and our accountability • Managing a new era of major-power and transparency. competition.

  • POLICY BRIEF--US Challenges and Choices in the Gulf: Energy Security
    Policy Brief #3 The Atlantic Council of the United States, The Middle East Institute, The Middle East Policy Council, and The Stanley Foundation U.S. Challenges and Choices in the Gulf: Energy Security This policy brief is based on the discussion at the fifth in a jointly sponsored series of congressional staff briefings on “U.S. Challenges and Choices in the Gulf.” To receive information on future briefings, contact Jennifer Davies at [email protected]. With approximately 70 percent of the world’s known oil reserves, Gulf countries, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Iran and Iraq, are the world’s leading petroleum exporters. Gulf oil exports (and, therefore, world oil prices) are largely governed by the political and economic dynamics of the Gulf region – suggesting that U.S. leaders have a substantial stake in understanding these dynamics generally and, specifically, how they impact U.S. energy security concerns. Oil plays a key role in U.S. energy security, providing approximately 40 percent of the total annual energy use of the United States (measured in trillion Btu). Indeed, the United States is the world’s number one consumer of oil, using 20 million barrels of oil per day, or one-fifth of the world total. Of these 20 million barrels, the United States imports 9 million, as its domestic production is insufficient to satisfy the country’s needs. This brief addresses four fundamental questions regarding the current and likely future energy needs of the United States. 1. Is the United States “dependent” on Arab/Gulf oil? This often-asked, but misleading question begs several responses.

At the time of its certification in June 2019, the new IOC Headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, received the highest rating of any of the LEED v4-certified new construction project. This was only possible thanks to the PV system consisting of 614 mono-Si modules, amounting to 179 kWp and covering 999 m2 of the roof’s surface. The approximately 200 MWh solar power generated per year are used in-house for heat pumps, HVAC systems, lighting and general building operations.

  • Netiquette: Miss Manners for the Web
    4 Netiquette: Miss Manners for the Web Welcome to the world of the new influencers. The reason the social web is sometimes called the “wild west” is that we’re still working out the kinks of how best to communicate with one another online. The rules of conduct may not be set in stone, but the social web isn’t a total free-for-all either. You should be aware of some key, often mystifying, communi- cations protocols before striking up conversations with the locals. This chapter provides some lessons Friends with Benefits (C) 2009 by Darren Barefoot and Julie Szabo on how to communicate with new influencers—bloggers, YouTube stars, Facebook friend magnets, and Digg superstars. Think of this chapter as finishing school for Internet communication. If you understand the social innuendo, you’ve got a much better chance of breaking into the inner circle and getting mentioned or reviewed by powerful online influencers who can send thousands of visitors—and potential buyers—your way. We will run through a variety of communications techniques here, but if you take one lesson from this chapter, take this: Listen first. Thankfully, nearly all new influencer communications occur in the Internet’s public forum, so you can adopt an anthropological approach. By emulating the influencers’ behavior and learning their dialect, you can be confident when you approach them. As Jane Goodall discovered, the best way to learn about a species is to live among them. So you’re going to start being active online right now. Have your computer in front of you while you read this chapter, because we’re going to put you to work.
