SUMMARY:America's Use of Force | Live Webinar Event
DESCRIPTION:America’s approach to the use of force has evolved so much since 1789 that the founders would no longer recognize it. From the Constitution to the War Powers Act to the Authorization for the Use of Military Force\, America’s military\, defense technology\, and enemies—not to mention its role in global security—have undergone profound shifts as well. Has law and practice kept up with the modern uses of force\, so frequently off regular battlefields\, in cyberspace\, perhaps even in space? This talk considers the frameworks political leaders use to make decisions about the use of force\, and whether those frameworks are sufficient to modern security challenges.\nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Z2s6YS5iTjOltuRt7_Mb3w\nRegistration is free\n$10 Suggested Donation

SUMMARY:Global Conversations DIGITAL: Food Security and Foreign Policy
DESCRIPTION:It is often said that foreign policy is about connecting means with ends. With perhaps a few exceptions\, most agree that the ultimate end of U.S. foreign policy should be a more prosperous\, sustainable\, and secure world. Yet today\, food security around the globe remains a pressing challenge\, especially in low-income\, conflict-prone\, and climate-affected areas. \nFollowing decades of decline in hunger\, the number of hungry people globally is once again rising – this trend made all the worse by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Patching up vulnerabilities in food systems remains paramount in ending hunger around the world and such trends pose challenges – some new\, some old – to U.S. foreign policy. \nHear from a panel of experts as they explore U.S. food security and current gaps in policy\, particularly as they relate to the effects of COVID-19. \nPanelists\n\nAsma Lateef\, Director\, Bread for the World Institute\nRob Paarlberg\, Associate at Harvard University’s Weatherhead Center for International Affairs and Adjunct Professor at Harvard Kennedy School\nAbigail Rockwell\, Director\, Office of Global Food Security\, U.S. Department of State\nCaitlin Welsh\, Director\, Global Food Security Program\, Center for Strategic and International Studies\nModerator: Tina May\, Chief of Staff to Land O’Lakes CEO Beth Ford\n\nThis event will be live-streamed on YouTube. Register below to receive the link. \nPresented in partnership with the Edina Senior Center\, Friends of the Edina Library\, Friends of the Minneapolis Central Library\, Hennepin County Library – Minneapolis Central\, Landmark Center\, Minneapolis Public Schools Community Education\, Plymouth Library\, and Washburn Library.
