SUMMARY:A Dictator or a Messiah?
DESCRIPTION:Implications of China’s 2018 Constitutional Changes \nAfter the Mao era\, China’s leaders have emphasized collective leadership and orderly succession. But a proposal to remove presidential term limits clears the way for Xi Jinping to rule indefinitely\, as he seeks to restore what he considers China’s rightful place in the world. The bold move reinforces Xi’s position as the most powerful Chinese leader since Mao Zedong. It also signals the end of a period of collective leadership that has dominated elite politics in China for much of the past three decades – a period that many Western observers predicted would inevitably lead to democracy and rule of law. Instead\, Xi appears determined to impose one-man rule as he seeks to restore China to what he considers its rightful place on the international stage. \nWhat does this mean to you and your business\, now and for the long run?\nIs Xi a dictator or a messiah to China and the world?\nHow should you plan your business for the years to come when dealing with China?

SUMMARY:South Africa's Fragile Democracy
DESCRIPTION:The African National Congress (ANC) party has governed South Africa since the end of apartheid in 1994. But the party today suffers from popular frustration over official corruption and economic stagnation. It faces growing threats from both left and right opposition parties\, even as intraparty divisions surface. Given America’s history of opportunistic engagement with Africa\, there are few prospects for a closer relationship between the two countries. Meanwhile\, a weaker ANC could lead to political fragmentation in this relatively new democracy.

SUMMARY:U.S. Global Engagement and the Military
DESCRIPTION:The global power balance is rapidly evolving\, leaving the United States at a turning point with respect to its level of engagement and the role of its military. Some argue for an “America First” paradigm\, with a large military to ensure security\, while others call for a more assertive posture overseas. Some advocate for a restoration of American multilateral leadership and a strengthened role for diplomacy. Still others envision a restrained U.S. role\, involving a more limited military. How does the military function in today’s international order\, and how might it be balanced with diplomatic and foreign assistance capabilities?

SUMMARY:One Person Can Make a Difference: The Irene Gut Opdyke Story
DESCRIPTION:Jeannie Opdyke Smith shares the story of her Mother\, Irene Gut Opdyke\, a Polish Catholic woman who risked her life to save Jews during the Holocaust. The story she tells\, although filled with the horrors and hate the Holocaust holds\, also brings the message that faith\, love and hope can triumph over evil. It proclaims the conviction that one by one we can say no to hatred\, persecution and prejudice. The story speaks of the power of love and encourages all that “One Person can Make a Difference!”

SUMMARY:Turkey: A Partner in Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Of all NATO allies\, Turkey represents the most daunting challenge for the Trump administration. In the wake of a failed military coup in July 2016\, the autocratic trend in Ankara took a turn for the worse. One year on\, an overwhelming majority of the population considers the United States to be their country’s greatest security threat. In this age of a worsening “clash of civilizations” between Islam and the West\, even more important than its place on the map is what Turkey symbolically represents as the most institutionally Westernized Muslim country in the world.

SUMMARY:Global Health: Progress and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:The collective action of countries\, communities and organizations over the last 30 years has literally saved millions of lives around the world. Yet terrible inequalities in health and wellbeing persist. The world now faces a mix of old and new health challenges\, including the preventable deaths of mothers and children\, continuing epidemics of infectious diseases\, and rising rates of chronic disease. We also remain vulnerable to the emergence of new and deadly pandemics. For these reasons\, the next several decades will be just as important—if not more so—than the last in determining wellbeing across nations.

SUMMARY:Media and Foreign Policy
DESCRIPTION:State and non-state actors today must maneuver a complex and rapidly evolving media landscape. Conventional journalism now competes with user-generated content. Official channels of communication can be circumvented through social media. Foreign policy is tweeted from the White House and “fake news” has entered the zeitgeist. Cyberwarfare\, hacking and misinformation pose complex security threats. How are actors using media to pursue and defend their interests in the international arena? What are the implications for U.S. policy?
