SUMMARY:Phoenix: Cyber Security Challenges Need a Global Approach
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Phoenix Warburg Chapter will host a discussion and reception with Quirin Bendl\, Director of Cybersecurity and Digital Policy at VdTUV.  \nThere will be a $15 charge to attend.\nRSVP here by March 30. \n Quirin Blendl is currently the Director of Cybersecurity and Digital Policy at VdTUV (Association of TUVs). Previously\, he worked for the Federation of German Industries (BDI)\, where he oversaw “Cybersecurity and Industry 4.0” for over a year\, and the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) in Bonn. He received his MA in International Political Economics and Psychology from the University of Bonn in 2012. \nAbstract: Knowledge is power. This old saying determines the current digital paradigm shift. Digital business models and information technology drive innovation and global growth: Around 20\,000 new jobs in Germany every year. Access to data and competitive software coding has become key to market success. Nevertheless\, the overall societal relevance of the digitization predominates its economic potential. Resilient digital architectures and sustainable privacy standards are a fundamental challenge to protect citizens from technology and technology from citizens and itself. Cyber-attacks\, data infringements and mass surveillance challenge these pillars and boosts national security policies around the globe. Particularly\, the internet of things requires higher security standards and innovative regulation to maintain trust within this new technological environment. But how do global policy makers in Europe\, China and USA react? What are their approaches to strengthen security\, privacy and safety while leveraging existing market potentials?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Charlotte: Toward Resilient Migration Governance in Europe?
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Charlotte Warburg Chapter will host a discussion and luncheon with Dr. Regina Paul\, Political Scientist at Biefeld University and JFK Memorial Fellow a the Center for European Studies at Harvard University.  \nThere will be no charge for ACG Members and a $15 charge for nonmembers to attend this event. RSVP here by April 6. \nDr. Regine Paul is a political scientist at Bielefeld University and a JFK Memorial Fellow for 2017-18 at the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies at Harvard University. She earned a Ph.D. from the University of Bath/UK (2012) with a comparative study of labor migration regimes in Britain\, France\, and Germany. Her current research focuses on risk regulation and public management reforms in Europe. Dr. Paul co-chairs the European Integration & the Global Political Economy Research Network at the Council for European Studies. \nAbstract: Resilience is a new buzzword in the European Union’s external governance approach and is currently being probed as a new paradigm for migration governance\, too. During the refugee crisis\, efforts have been redoubled to carve out an approach that could ostensibly help address root causes of migration while also improving integration outcomes of new residents in host countries. Yet\, policy analysts and researchers are yet to elaborate on whether and how resilience assessments prominent in natural disaster relief or development aid can\, and indeed should\, be applied in migration governance. The talk addresses three questions: 1. What could resilience mean in the migration context? 2. How could resilience be assessed and improved? 3. What implications\, both for migration governance and for the position of migrants themselves\, would a shift to a resilience paradigm entail? \nThis program was made possible by a generous grant through the European Recovery Program – Transatlantic Encounters.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

RSVP here by October 14. \nMr. Schlüter has been engaged with the Jewish community for many years and strongly believes German diplomats have an obligation to reach out to Jewish communities due to the legacy of the Holocaust.

Thematically\, a number of topics will be covered during the speaking tour: Jewish life in Germany\, Germany’s coming to terms with its past\, German-Israeli relations\, rising anti-Semitism and populism in Europe. In addition\, the meetings will provide opportunities to discuss these and a wider range of topics\, such as transatlantic relations\, migration issues and refugee policy\, developments in the EU\, Brexit\, and the Middle East conflict. \n \n\n\n\nFunding for this project was provided by the German Federal Foreign Office and Allianz and is administered under the auspices of the Deutschlandjahr USA 2018/2019 – Year of German-American Friendship.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Yet\, both sides are still working on a withdrawal agreement as well as a framework for their future relationship. Border and trade issues are among the biggest points of contention. The lack of consensus in the U.K. regarding the best Brexit strategy further complicates tense negotiations between London and the 27 other EU member states. The outcome of this process will be of crucial importance for the future of the EU and the transatlantic partnership. With its political and economic weight\, Germany remains a key player in the current discussions among Western allies. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
