SUMMARY:Celebrate the World Cup with CCWA!
DESCRIPTION:This summer\, 48 nations will compete for the most coveted trophy in sports\, and CCWA is excited to bring you into the heart of the action. Join us at Masthead Brewing Co. on Wednesday\, June 17 to watch high-stakes soccer\, play World Cup bingo\, and embrace the wonderful atmosphere and community of the World Cup! This event is free and open to all\, so grab your friends and kick it with CCWA! \nThe Schedule: England vs. Croatia\, 4:00 – 6:00pm; Ghana vs. Panama 7:00 – 9:00pm. (The opening matches for Group L.) \nThe Soccer:  In a rematch of the 2018 World Cup semifinal\, European heavyweights England and Croatia face-off to start their tournaments. Both nations have their sights set on advancing deep into the knockout rounds\, but their group mates Ghana and Panama might have something to say about that. At the World Cup for the fifth time\, Ghana had an enormously impressive qualifying campaign. Many believe that this team could provide Ghana’s best-ever finish at a World Cup. However\, they must be careful not to overlook Panama\, as while not a traditional powerhouse\, Panama was arguably Central America’s most impressive team over the last year. They will see this opening match against Ghana as the perfect opportunity to make some noise and prove their doubters wrong! \nThe event is free of charge\, but advance registration is required. Food and drinks will be available for purchase.

SUMMARY:Tipping the Scales: An Emergent India on the World Stage
DESCRIPTION:This program has been RESCHEDULED. It will now be held on Thursday\, June 25\, 2026. \nThe Cleveland Council on World Affairs is honored to host Akriti Vasudeva Kalyankar for the Dr. Raj and Karen Aggarwal Forum on India. Please note that this event will be held at the Union Club of Cleveland. \nWith the world’s largest population and an economy with enormous potential for growth\, India is a global swing state\, one whose outlook and actions will significantly influence the international order throughout the 21st century. While India maintains an independent approach to foreign policy\, the United States had prioritized developing a strategic relationship with India over the past 25 years. There is a growing number of shared interests between the U.S. and India\, including defense cooperation\, trade and development goals\, evolving supply chains\, and concerns about the expansion of Chinese power.  \nCCWA is glad to be joined by The Stimson Center’s Akriti Vasudeva Kalyankar to share her analysis on India\, its foreign policy\, and its relationship with the United States. How will South Asia’s dominant power position itself on the world stage as it rises to prominence? What should we expect from U.S.-India relations moving forward\, particularly as it relates to the great power competition with China?  \nAkriti Vasudeva Kalyankar is a Fellow with the South Asia Program at the Stimson Center\, with over 10 years experience working across think-tanks and media in the United States and India. Her research focuses on U.S.-China-India strategic dynamics\, geopolitics of Southern Asia and the Indo-Pacific\, U.S.-India defense and strategic cooperation\, and Indian foreign policy. She is Editor-in-Chief of South Asian Voices\, an online magazine featuring strategic analysis and commentary on the security\, politics\, and economics of the subcontinent. She also serves as an Adjunct Lecturer in the School of Professional and Area Studies at the U.S. Foreign Service Institute.
