SUMMARY:Happy Dog Takes on the World: Music as Political Diplomacy
DESCRIPTION:While international affairs seem dominated by the high politics of official representatives and ambassadors\, a great deal of transnational interaction happens at the levels of citizens and collectives. An increasingly popular form of cultural exchange and citizen diplomacy is expressed through music. What goes into these efforts? How do such exchanges shape the foreign artists as well as the American musicians? What is the future of this kind of advocacy and what are its limits? \nPanelists include:  \nAngelin Chang\, DMA\, JD\nPiano; Coordinator of Keyboard Studies; Coordinator of Chamber Music\, Cleveland State University \nChris Jenkins\, MIA\nAssociate Dean for Academic Support; Liaison to the Office of Equity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion; and Deputy Title IX Coordinator\, Oberlin Coordinator

SUMMARY:Back to (Merely) Bad: The Future of U.S. Policy Towards Iran
DESCRIPTION:The 2019-2020 Foreign Policy Forum series is presented by Hitachi Healthcare Americas. \nOver the last few months\, the imposition of sanctions\, maritime and drone incidents\, and escalating rhetoric between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran have led onlookers to fear a possible conflict in the Middle East. Beyond these recent events\, the U.S.-Iran relationship is a complicated one with a vast history that merits deeper understanding. The Iran nuclear deal (Joint Comprehensive Plan Of Action) also warrants attention when considering the future of relations between the U.S. and Iran\, as well as Iran and other Western nations. Lastly\, the use\, and misuse\, of sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran adds a level of complication to the already fragile relationship. Join us on October 30 as Jarrett Blanc\, Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment\, addresses these issues and options to break the negative cycle between the United States and Iran. What options are there for de-escalation of the current crisis? What would a return to diplomacy look like? How do all of these factors effect U.S. national security priorities? \nJarrett Blanc is a senior fellow in the Geoeconomics and Strategy Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Prior to joining Carnegie\, he was the deputy lead coordinator and State Department coordinator for Iran nuclear implementation at the U.S. Department of State under President Obama. In this role\, he was responsible for the full and effective implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) for Iran’s nuclear program. This included United States and Iranian commitments to sanctions. \nSchedule: \n5:30 PM Reception \n6:00 PM Program begins \n6:45 PM Q&A \n7:15 PM Program concludes \nAdmission: Non-Members $25; Members $15; Students $5 \nLocation: The Union Club\, Wedgwood Room. 1211 Euclid Ave\, Cleveland\, Ohio 44115. \nRegistration: This event is SOLD OUT.  \nParking: \nParking at the Union Club is $10 (cash only) for valet service. Additional parking options include other lots in the downtown area and street parking\, if parking restrictions are not in place. Car services\, such as Uber and Lyft\, are always an option. CCWA also encourages walking\, biking\, or public transportation\, including the RTA. \n

SUMMARY:Happy Dog Takes on the World: The Battle over Brexit and the Future of Europe
DESCRIPTION:European observers are currently focused on the United Kingdom as British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has committed to leading Britain out of the European Union (EU) on October 31 “with or without a deal.” However\, the great uncertainty surrounding British decisions is only one of many challenges confronting the six-decade-long European cooperation project. \nIn addition to “Brexit\,” the EU faces an unpredictable post-Merkel Germany\, ongoing popular opposition to President Macron in France\, Italian political turmoil over coalition-building\, an unsettled separatist challenge in Spain by Catalonia\, democratic backsliding and the rise of authoritarian figures in several European countries\, a revisionist Russia\, unresolved conflicts over immigration\, and widespread economic malaise across much of the continent. \nAre these and other challenges necessarily undermining the centralizing\, institution-building project of the EU? How will Brexit and these developments affect the Brussels project\, EU member states and the world? \nSpeaker:  \nElliot Posner\, Ph.D. \nProfessor and Acting Chair\, Department of Political Science\, Case Western Reserve University \nModerator:  \nMark K. Cassell\, Ph.D. \nProfessor of Political Science\, Kent State University

SUMMARY:The U.S.-South Korea Alliance: Addressing North Korea and a Changing World
DESCRIPTION:Ambassador Kathleen Stephens\, former U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Korea\, is currently the President and CEO of the Korea Economic Institute of America. Ambassador Stephens will start our Foreign Policy Forum season with a discussion of the dynamic alliance between the United States and South Korea confronted with new and evolving challenges. Crucially\, the alliance is now tasked with maintaining military preparedness against North Korea while simultaneously pursuing diplomacy with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. This\, however\, comes amid rising competition between the U.S. and China\, South Korea’s largest trading partner and a key player in resolving the North Korea issue\, as well as a more critical view from the White House on the role of allies. Though the path forward for the alliance is not yet clear\, close coordination on a range of issues will be needed to advance the shared goals of both countries. How will the United States and South Korea continue to shape their alliance while facing these new challenges? \nAmbassador Stephens retired from the Foreign Service in 2015 and assumed leadership of KEI as President and CEO in September of 2018. Ambassador Stephens was a career diplomat in the U.S. Foreign Service from 1978 to 2015. She was U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Korea (2008-2011) and was the first woman and first Korean speaker to serve in that position. Korea has been significant throughout Ambassador Stephens’ life\, as she served in Korea as a Peace Corps volunteer and trainer from 1975 to 1977. Other Foreign Service assignments included postings to Portugal\, former Yugoslavia\, China\, Northern Ireland\, and India. In addition\, Ambassador Stephens served in a number of policy positions in Washington including acting Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs (2012)\, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs (2005-2007)\, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs (2003-2005)\, and National Security Council Director for European Affairs at the Clinton White House. \nSchedule: \n5:30 PM Reception \n6:00 PM Program begins \n6:45 PM Q&A \n7:15 PM Program concludes \nAdmission: Non-Members $25; Members $15; Students $5 \nLocation: The Union Club\, Wedgwood Room. 1211 Euclid Ave\, Cleveland\, Ohio 44115. \nRegistration: \nOnline registration for this event has closed. If you have any questions or would still like to attend\, please call Andrea at 216-282-1041.\nParking:  \nParking at the Union Club is $12 (cash only) for valet service.

SUMMARY:Happy Dog Takes on the World: The Conflict Over Kashmir
DESCRIPTION:Earlier this month\, the Indian government moved to revoke special status of Indian-controlled Kashmir\, a long-contested region abutting Pakistan and China that constituted India’s only Muslim-majority state. Since that decision\, Kashmir remains virtually cut off from the rest of the world\, in lock down with a strong military presence and no access to phones\, television\, or the internet. \nThe Indian government\, despite facing global criticism for its decision\, maintains the change was necessary to tackle terrorism\, corruption\, and separatism and spur economic development. \nWhat does this decision mean for Kashmiris as well as the future of Indian democracy? Could the dispute lead to war? What is the United States’ role in managing and resolving this conflict?
