SUMMARY:The Folly of “Regime Change”
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]“Regime change” is a strategy that was once popular with neoconservatives in trying to address challenges in Afghanistan\, Iraq\, and Libya. In late March\, President Joe Biden caused a stir when he said Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power” in an impassioned speech in Warsaw. The White House downplayed the remark\, insisting that Biden was not suggesting regime change but that he was expressing his “moral outrage” at Putin’s actions in Europe. But\, the phrase lingers on. \nOn June 7\, the American Council on Germany and 1014 will host a discussion with political scientist Dr. Benjamin Denison\, on what a regime change may mean for Russia and transatlantic relations. This event is part of a series titled Democracies und Pressure: Challenges for the Global Liberal Order.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2F9716545330722%2FWN_P7eQOTD8TzugYYqlRbHhIg” css=”.vc_custom_1654533135183{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_text]Dr. Benjamin Denison is currently a Data Scientist specializing in Time Series and Panel Data analysis at Fors Marsh Group. His methodological expertise is in panel data methods\, time series analysis\, conceptualization and measurement\, and mixed-methods research. His substantive expertise is in international relations\, international security\, foreign regime change\, military occupation\, and democratization\, and military occupation. \nDr. Denison is a non-resident fellow with Defense Priorities\, where he focuses on issues related to U.S. foreign policy and international security issues. Previously he was the Assistant Director and Senior Research Associate with the Notre Dame International Security Center at the University of Notre Dame\, a postdoctoral fellow at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University and a U.S. Foreign Policy and International Security Fellow at Dartmouth College’s Dickey Center for International Understanding. \nHe completed his Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Notre Dame in 2018\, where he was a predoctoral fellow with NDISC\, served as a research fellow for the Varieties of Democracy project\, and was a Dissertation Year Fellow with the Kellogg Institute for International Studies.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Energy Security and the War in Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine\, we have seen an energy crisis unfold in Europe – and particularly in Germany given its heavy reliance on energy from Russia. The looming threat of Russia suspending gas deliveries to Germany or Germany ending the procurement as part of a sanctions package\, respectively\, could lead to a drastic increase in energy prices and shortage in gas supply. What are the challenges of being energy independent in an interconnected global economy? What does the war in Ukraine mean for energy security in Europe? What are the short-\, mid-\, and long-term consequences? And\, how are governments and citizens reacting? \nJoin ACG and 1014 for another discussion as part of their virtual series Democracies und Pressure: Challenges for the Global Liberal Order. We will be joined by Samantha Gross\, Director of the Energy Security and Climate Initiative at the Brookings Institution\, and Dr. Rainer Quitzow from the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS).[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2F9716554806815%2FWN_2mkdL7FXRFGAhhDZYQdVjw” css=”.vc_custom_1655480714408{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_text]Samantha Gross is a Fellow at the Brookings Institution\, where she also directs the Energy Security and Climate Initiative.

SUMMARY:Russia’s War in Ukraine: Is this the New Normal?
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The West has shown unity and commitment to Ukraine that would not have been forecast a year ago. The post-Cold War institutions are proving resilient and Putin’s desire to divide the democratic Allies has paradoxically bolstered the unity and resolve within NATO\, the European Union\, and the international community writ large. Increasingly severe rounds of sanctions have surpassed anything seen by any other country as the global economy severs ties to the country. The Russian economy is in a nose-dive and its military seems to be running out of munitions. \nWhat’s at stake in Ukraine? How will things continue to unfold? How does this end? These are a few of the many questions being asked since this phase of the war started in February. Building on an ad hoc series of virtual events since mid-February\, the Tennessee World Affairs Council and the American Council on Germany are launching In Focus: Russia’s War in Ukraine to provide continued updates on and insights into the unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine that has rocked the world order. Featuring conversations with U.S. and European experts\, this series explores the unfolding conflict on the ground\, the geostrategic implications\, and the perspectives from the United States\, Europe\, Russia\, and Ukraine. \nJoin us on July 7 at 1:00 pm ET/12:00 pm CT for a virtual conversation on the war in Ukraine with Ambassador John Kornblum\, former U.S. Ambassador to Germany and Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2FWN_YXGAvtXmRl-4zmaiCzAf2w%3F” css=”.vc_custom_1657033886160{background-color: #1e73be !important;}”][vc_column_text]Ambassador John C. Kornblum has a long record of service in the United States and Europe both as a diplomat and as a businessman. He is recognized as an eminent expert on U.S.-European political and economic relations\, in particular in Central and Eastern Europe. He served as the U.S. Ambassador to Germany from 1997 to 2001. Before that\, he occupied a number of high-level diplomatic posts\, including U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European affairs\, Special Envoy for the Dayton Peace Process\, U.S. Ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (Helsinki Process)\, Deputy U.S. Ambassador to NATO\, and U.S. minister and deputy commandant of forces in divided Berlin.

SUMMARY:Russia’s War in Ukraine and Cold Wars
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Cold War was a period of intense competition and the geo-strategic struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union and their allies in the Western and Eastern blocs following World War II. At times it threatened to turn hot — potential battles between combatants armed with thousands of nuclear weapons — but always featured political\, economic\, ideological\, and military confrontation. The post-Cold War era saw the Russian Federation and the United States work together on bilateral and global issues\, a spirit of cooperation. That has evolved into the unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine\, the extensive support of Kyiv by the United States and its allies\, the expansion of NATO in reaction to Russian aggression\, and a disruption in global stability and international norms. \nIs the war in Ukraine a new “Cold War” or is it something else? Join Vanderbilt Distinguished Historian Professor Thomas Schwartz (1989 ACG Young Leader) for a discussion about the Cold War\, the conflict in Ukraine\, and the ongoing tensions between Washington and Moscow and their allies. \nThis is discussion is part of the series In Focus: Russia’s War in Ukraine\, organized by the ACG and the Tennessee World Affairs Council\, which provides continued updates on and insights into the unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine that has rocked the world order.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2FWN_u22-wlCcTxemfexCOiAMlg” css=”.vc_custom_1660143903534{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_text]Professor Thomas Alan Schwartz is a historian of the foreign relations of the United States\, with related interests in American politics\, the history of international relations\, Modern European history\, and biography. His most recent book is Henry Kissinger and American Power: A Political Biography (Hill and Wang\, 2020). The book has received considerable notice and acclaim. Harvard University’s Charles Maier has written: “Thomas Schwartz’s superbly researched political biography reveals the brilliance\, self-serving ego\, and vulnerability of America’s most remarkable diplomat in the twentieth century\, even as it provides a history of U.S. engagement in global politics as it moved beyond bipolarity.” Earlier in his career\, Schwartz was the author of America’s Germany: John J. McCloy and the Federal Republic of Germany (Harvard\, 1991)\, which was translated into German\, Die Atlantik Brücke (Ullstein\, 1992). This book received the Stuart Bernath Book Prize of the Society of American Foreign Relations\, and the Harry S. Truman Book Award\, given by the Truman Presidential Library. He is also the author of Lyndon Johnson and Europe: In the Shadow of Vietnam (Harvard\, 2003)\, which examined the Johnson Administration’s policy toward Europe and assessed the impact of the war in Vietnam on its other foreign policy objectives. He is the co-editor with Matthias Schulz of The Strained Alliance: U.S.-European Relations from Nixon to Carter (Cambridge University Press\, 2009). \nProfessor Schwartz has held fellowships from the Social Science Research Council\, the German Historical Society\, the Norwegian Nobel Institute\, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars\, and the Center for the Study of European Integration. He has served as President of the Society of Historians of American Foreign Relations. He served on the United States Department of State’s Historical Advisory Committee as the representative of the Organization of American Historians from 2005-2008. Professor Schwartz received The Madison Sarratt Prize for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching on April 3\, 2013\, at the Spring Faculty Assembly\, Vanderbilt University. In 2008 Professor Schwartz received the Annual Alumni Education Award from the Vanderbilt Alumni Association. Schwartz is the recipient of the 2008 Book Award by Chi Chapter of the Kappa Alpha Order. This award is given to a faculty member who has been particularly influential in the lives and education of members of KAO.
