Please join us for a special ISS Discussion Forum featuring The Honorable Michèle Flournoy, focused on the challenges to world order, including Russia’s horrific invasion with Ukraine, geopolitical competition with China, and the threats and opportunities associated with emerging technologies.
Michèle is Co-Founder and Managing Partner of WestExec Advisors, and former Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), where she currently serves as Chair of the Board of Directors.
International Security Studies will host a Visiting Fellow Discussion Forum featuring Fiona Hill, PhD, senior fellow in the Center on the United States and Europe in the Foreign Policy program at Brookings.
Hill’s latest book, “There is Nothing Here for You: Finding Opportunity in the Twenty-First Century,” chronicles how declining opportunity has set America on the grim path similar to modern Russia—and draws on her personal journey out of poverty, as well as her unique perspectives as an historian and policy maker, to show how we can return hope to our forgotten places.
The Jackson Institute for Global Affairs will host a virtual discussion with Visiting Fellow Adm. Jim Stavridis regarding his new book—his tenth, but his first work of fiction.
Stavridis is the former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO and Dean of The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. He is currently an Operating Executive at The Carlyle Group.
