* John H. Maurer, US Naval War College - "'Why Should There be a War with Japan?': Winston Churchill and Great Britain’s Strategic Predicament during the 1920s"
| Date: | Thursday, May 3, 2012 |
| Time: | 11:30 am to 12:30 pm |
| Location: | FPRI Library 1528 Walnut Street, Suite 610 Philadelphia, PA 19102 [display map] |
| Website: | http://www.fpri.org/events/2012/20120503.lecture.maurer-churchill.html |
In the aftermath of the First World War, Great Britain faced a serious strategic challenge in the emergence of imperial Japan as a rival naval power. The rapid growth in the Japanese navy’s strength threatened the security and interests of Britain’s empire in Asia. At the center of British strategic decision making about how to respond to Japan’s naval challenge was Winston Churchill. Determined to take an active role in directing Britain’s grand strategy, Churchill assessed the price tag and risk of alternative strategies for hedging against Japan’s rising power. Churchill downplayed the likelihood of war with Japan. In an oft quoted letter to Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, Churchill wrote: “why should there be a war with Japan? I do not believe there is the slightest chance of it in our lifetime.” Of course, in a tragic irony of History, Churchill’s words would later come back to haunt him, fated as he was to serve as Britain’s prime minister when Japan attacked the British Empire in December 1941. Professor John H. Maurer, Chair of the Strategy and Policy Department at the Naval War College, and member of the Orbis editorial board, will give a presentation about how Churchill and British leaders faced awkward political, economic, and strategic tradeoffs in contending with a rising naval challenger in Asia. A combination of adverse economic factors—a slow growing economy, high unemployment, an overvalued currency that hurt international competitiveness, a heavy debt burden, and growing entitlement costs—put immense pressure on the British government to economize in defense spending. By the 1920s, Britain had become a “frugal superpower” that could ill afford an arms race against a rising power in Asia. It was Churchill’s hard lot, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, to face these economic and strategic realities. That as sagacious a statesman as Churchill misjudged the danger of war with Japan, believing that Japanese leaders would act as responsible stakeholders on the international stage, highlights the pitfalls that can bedevil even the very best strategic assessments. Churchill’s assessment of the constraints hurting Britain’s strategic competitiveness in meeting the challenge posed by Japan provides a parable, a warning of potential dangers looming up before the United States in the twenty-first century. Professor Maurer serves as the Chair of the Strategy and Policy Department. He is a graduate of Yale University and holds an M.A.L.D. and Ph.D. in International Relations from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University. Before joining the faculty of the Naval War College, he served as executive editor of Orbis, and held the position of senior research fellow at FPRI. He served on the Secretary of the Navy’s advisory committee on naval history. He is the author or editor of books examining the outbreak of the First World War, military interventions in the developing world, naval arms control between the two world wars, and a study about Winston Churchill’s views on British foreign policy and strategy. His current research includes a study about Winston Churchill and Great Britain’s decline as a world power. At the College, he teaches an elective course on Churchill and grand strategy. In June 2001, he received the U.S. Navy’s Meritorious Civilian Service Award. |

* Marc Grossman, U.S. Special Envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan Ambassador
| Date: | Thursday, May 10, 2012 |
| Time: | 5:30 pm - Registration and wine reception 6:00 pm - Program 7:00 pm - Adjournment |
| Location: | Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown Hotel 201 N. 17th Street Philadelphia, PA |
| Website: | http://www.wacphila.org/calendar/speakers_events/ambassador_marc_grossman |
The position of U.S. Special Envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, initially held by Richard Holbrooke, was established in January 2009 as part of the president's three-pronged foreign policy of diplomacy, development, and defense. Ambassador Marc Grossman replaced the late Ambassador Holbrooke last year as the U.S. was beginning to plan its troop withdrawal from Afghanistan and had hopes of a diplomatic settlement in the region through negotiations with the Taliban. Amid enormous challenges this year including the seething rage of Afghan citizens toward the U.S. and its military presence after several incidents including the recent slaughter of Afghan citizens by a U.S. soldier, failed negotiations with the Taliban, and growing strains in the relationship with neighboring Pakistan, Ambassador Grossman joins The Philadelphia Inquirer's foreign affairs columnist, Trudy Rubin, to offer an assessment of the current situation in the region. |

* Panel Discussion - "America in the World: Obama's Foreign Policy"
| Date: | Wednesday, May 23, 2012 |
| Time: | 5:30 pm - Registration and wine reception 6:00 pm - Panel discussion 7:15 pm - Book Signing |
| Location: | World Affairs Council of Philadelphia, One South Broad Street, Suite 2M., Philadelphia, PA |
| Website: | http://www.wacphila.org/calendar/speakers_events/obamas_foreign_policy |
Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign envisioned both enhanced international relationships and the restoration of America’s image abroad resulting from a greater reliance on diplomatic efforts, rather than military intervention, to address global threats and challenges. After three years in office, this approach has been tested on a number of fronts and the administration’s emerging foreign and defense policy strategy—which has come to be referred to as “the Obama Doctrine”—now advocates using unilateral force, if necessary, against direct threats to the United States, while relying on multilateral responses, not necessarily by force, against indirect threats that have more of a global security impact. As we approach the 2012 election, amidst Republican assertions of the failures of Barack Obama’s policies, a panel of experts, including Fawaz Gerges, Charles Kupchan and Michael Swaine, join us to explore the President’s record with regard to crises and challenges in the Middle East, Asia and Europe. |

Application Deadline: April 30, 2012
(Applications received after April 30th will be considered as space permits.)
Focus:

You will learn to speak and perform correctly in a variety of social situations. In each setting you will learn how to perform in the Chinese language in a culturally appropriate way.
This course is appropriate for:
1) Students with no Chinese background. The course will assume that you have no exposure to Chinese language.
2) Students with one to two years of high school or college Chinese in courses that focus on reading and writing. This course focuses on oral proficiency. Some of our most successful students have come from Portland area high school Chinese programs.
3) College students, high school students (age 15 or higher), business people, and others are welcome to apply.

Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations (HPAIR) Asia Conference - "Challenges and Prospects: Envisioning Global Transformations" - deadline to apply: May 20, 2012
Dates: August 24-28, 2012
Location: Taipei, Taiwan
Partnership University: National Chengchi University
Conference Theme: Challenges and Prospects: Envisioning Global Transformations
The transformation of Asia has been nothing short of extraordinary: its achievements in recent years would have been hard to imagine in past decades. Asia, with its diverse economic, demographic, and political systems, must now use its newfound voice to play a more prominent role in today's world.
The HPAIR 2012 Asia Conference seeks to bring together future and current leaders from around the world to engage in a five-day dialogue, addressing the events that have helped to shape the current status of Asia on the world stage. The conference will challenge its participants to think critically about questions surrounding Asia's future. In the wake of the recent global financial recession, what should Asia do to recover from and prevent similar meltdowns in the future? How should Asia respond to the threat of nuclear proliferation in North Korea and military instability in other parts of the world? How can Asian countries preserve their traditions while the pressures of globalization push them towards modernization? What roles should governments and businesses play in bridging the numerous expanding gaps found both between and within nations?
As we turn the corner on the first decade of the 21st century, the decisions made today will prove critical to the success of Asia tomorrow.
