SUMMARY:Happy Dog Takes on the World: Russia\, Putin\, and the Pro-Democracy Movement
DESCRIPTION:Alexei Navalny\, an anti-corruption investigator and Russian President Vladimir V. Putin’s most prominent critic\, is determined to challenge the authoritarian leader and change Russia’s political system. He was arrested on January 17 upon returning from Germany\, where he spent five months recovering from a nerve-agent poisoning that he blames on the Kremlin. Putin has denied being involved. Navalny is currently jailed for violating the terms of a 2014 conviction\, a conviction Navalny maintains is politically motivated. \nNavalny’s arrest and jailing has prompted the biggest dissent the Russian government has faced in years\, and the peaceful protests that have occurred across Russia have been met with heavy police presence and thousands of civilian arrests. The situation has also heightened tensions between Russia and the European Union (EU) − Moscow expelled three European diplomats for allegedly attending demonstrations in support of Navalny and EU officials are considering proposed sanctions in response to Russia’s refusal to engage on human rights. \nJust how strong is Navalny’s opposition movement? How will the Kremlin respond to the most significant rebuke of its power? And how does the outcome affect Russia’s standing in the European Union − and the world? \n\nSpeakers\n\nAndrew Barnes\, Ph.D.\nAssociate Professor\, Department of Political Science\, Kent State University\nRegina Smyth\, Ph.D.\nProfessor\, Department of Political Science\, Indiana University Bloomington\n\n\n\nModerator\n\nTony Ganzer\nHost/Producer\, WCPN\n\nThe livestream will be available at cityclub.org at 7:30 p.m. Have a question?

SUMMARY:Why Is It So Hard To Talk About Climate Change?
DESCRIPTION:The 2020-2021 Foreign Policy Forum Series is presented by Hitachi Healthcare Americas. \nOur community partners for this forum are The Great Lakes Energy Institute at Case Western Reserve University and CWRU Center for International Affairs. \nClimate change is one area where politics\, economics\, and science come together to create an all-encompassing challenge that must be met by leaders worldwide. Unfortunately\, it is clear that the causes\, effects\, and policies needed to counter climate change are a point of contention\, as everything regarding climate change has become politically divisive. Global issues require global responses and there is no agreement on whether or how the international community can coordinate approaches to the many challenges involving energy\, environment\, and fiscal responsibilities. Molly Williamson\, a retired Foreign Service Officer and current scholar with the Middle East Institute\, will explore key factors confounding policy makers and political leaders\, both foreign and domestic. \nMolly Williamson is a retired Foreign Service Officer\, who served six different presidents\, and achieved the rank of Career Minister. Williamson speaks extensively on energy\, economic and demographic factors affecting foreign policy formulation\, US-Middle East relations\, especially regional unrest\, the Israel-Palestine conflict\, Iran and nuclear challenges\, and the interagency process. \nShe is a scholar with the Middle East Institute and the National Council on US-Arab Relations\, a consultant\, and frequent guest lecturer at Johns Hopkins University\, the Defense Institute of Security Cooperation\, and the National Joint Staff College. Williamson has had a unique combination of policy positions in four Cabinet departments in the U.S. government as well as numerous diplomatic assignments in and about the Middle East. Williamson was the Senior Foreign Policy Advisor to the Secretary of Energy with global responsibilities at the nexus of foreign policy and energy policy. \n  \n  \nThis webinar is free\, but advanced registration is required.\nRegister HERE.
