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:Bridges to the World Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Bridges to the World is a series of interactive workshops that examine the key elements of global education and explore a multitude of resources for educators to foster global competence in their classrooms.

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
