The Frontline Country Team: A New Model for Building Security Partnerships
When: July 16, 2008 10:00am-11:30am
Where: American Enterprise Institute, Washington D.C.
In the Long War on terrorism, the capabilities of America’s allies and local security partners will determine whether we achieve our goals in Iraq, Afghanistan, and beyond. Building and sustaining these partnerships has proven to be a great challenge, as well as a delicate task to manage from afar. To better understand current U.S. programs for security cooperation and propose how they might be improved in the future, AEI fellows Christopher Griffin and Thomas Donnelly have written The Frontline Country Team: A Model for Engagement. In this new report, the authors advocate the creation of frontline country teams in which the U.S. ambassador, supported by military assistance and an advisory group from within the embassy, will direct U.S. security partnerships in the Long War. Griffin and Donnelly stress that the success of the country team depends on enhancing the ambassador’s leadership authority and effectively integrating the interagency operations on the ground.
At this event, Griffin and Donnelly will present their proposals and discuss the challenges of strengthening partnerships with allies in the Long War. Commenting will be two experts who have directed security cooperation operations at the country team level: former ambassador to Pakistan Robert Oakley and Colonel Robert Killebrew, U.S. Army (Retired).

China and Latin America: An Update
When: July 17, 2008, 8:30am - 10:30am
Where: Hudson Institute, Washington D.C.
With the Beijing Olympics just around the corner, international attention has focused on China's support of the Sudanese government and on China's human rights record. Yet little has been said about China's growing influence in Latin America, both through economic ties and through growing ideological ties with anti-American regimes such as Venezuela and Bolivia. Recently, China has expanded diplomatic ties with Costa Rica and claims potential new allegiances with other Latin American nations. Does this economic and diplomatic expansion pose a threat to the liberal democratic regimes opposed to radical populist regimes such as Venezuela? What are the economic, political and international implications of these increasing ties? To answer these question swe are pleased to host Evan Ellis, of Booz Allen Hamilton who will present remarks, followed by a commentary from Hudson Institute Senior Fellows Charles Horner and Rod Hunter.

Where: Heritage Foundation, Allison Auditorium, Washington D.C.
Al-Qaeda seeks to paint the war on terrorism as a war on Islam and provoke a “clash of civilizations” that raises barriers between the West and the Muslim world. In the dialectic of the terrorists, concepts of human rights, democratic principles, equality before the law, and religious freedom are incompatible with the Muslim faith. Join us for a discussion with experts that seeks to clarify the debate by examining the compatibility of the religion of Islam with classical liberal values of individual liberty and religious freedom. The program will focus on trends and developments related to concepts of liberty in Muslim societies and prospects for the future. How can the West engage effectively in Muslim societies to explore these crucial questions in a substantive and respectful manner? What is the thinking and debate taking place among Muslim scholars worldwide on concepts of liberty in the religion of Islam? Please join us for this critical discussion.

After Bush: The Case for Continuity in Foreign Policy
When: July 22nd, 2008, 12:00 pm-2:00pm
Where: Hudson Institute, Washington D.C.
In their compelling new book, After Bush: The Case for Continuity in Foreign Policy, Timothy Lynch and Robert Singh make the argument that, rather than repudiate the actions of the past eight years, the next president should continue current foreign policies. Lynch and Singh also offer a positive audit of the war on terror, contending that it is properly understood as a second Cold War and that its central tenets are consistent with policies shaped by former administrations, both Republican and Democratic. Perhaps most controversial, the authors predict that, despite current attitudes, Bush's successors will take on the war against radical Islamist terror with similar moxie. Hudson Institute will host a book discussion with the authors.
