?? Event: Pakistan in the World: The Future of Global Engagement Without doubt, Pakistan is a pivotal state in the greater South Asian region. In recent times, it has been wracked by persistent crises: internal terrorism, a flailing economy, and a troubled political order. Its ties with its oldest traditional partner, the United States, are cool while its robust relations with China appear to bring as many benefits as troubles. What are the prospects for political stability in Pakistan? Will the country be able to overcome its economic problems? And how does Islamabad manage the troubled relationship with India while navigating between China and the United States? Join Carnegie’s Ashley J. Tellis as he hosts Ambassador Syed Tariq Fatemi, the special assistant on foreign affairs to the Prime Minister of Pakistan, for an address followed by a conversation and a Q&A session exploring the future of Pakistan’s engagement with the world. ??

?? Event: Money and Energy: China’s Flexible Approach to Central Asian Investment? ? Is China’s economic engagement with developing countries a one-way street? Not necessarily.

Central Asian countries have been able to leverage their rich natural resources to shape a more mutually beneficial partnership. What strategies have they used to do so? What continuing challenges will they face?? ?? Please join the authors of several of the Carnege China Local/Global project’s publications for a for a virtual discussion examining Central Asia’s strategic relations with China.

In January, President Trump signed an Executive Order calling for the construction of a next-generation missile defense shield, seemingly aligning the administration with those who have long advocated a more robust U.S. missile defense policy.

Evaluating the future of U.S. missile defense policy will be a core theme of the 2025 International Nuclear Policy Conference. From April 21-22, in Washington, D.C., nuclear policy experts, including Ankit Panda, Jacek Durkalec, Sanne Verschuren, and Robert Soofer, and will assess global missile defense policy and arms control today.

The National Nuclear Security Administration handles some of the most top-secret, urgent tasks in the U.S. government.

Carnegie’s Corey Hinderstein, a former agency official, explained in the New York Times this morning. ?? Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/dbJH8qK7 ?

“A détente with China probably will not happen in 2025, but when the opportunity arises, we should seize it. It would be a good thing for America, China, and the world.” Coexistence between the U.S. and China is possible, writes Carnegie American Statecraft Program’s Christopher Chivvis for ChinaFile. To see how, we should look to the lessons of the 1970s. Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/ejiiJkUu ?

?? Event: Assessing Trump’s Presidency: Two Historians Reflect on the Past and Future All Presidents, Jonathan Alter wrote, are blind dates. Donald Trump may be the first who isn’t. Political analysts and historians not only have Trump’s first term to gauge his temperament and policies, but the four years preceding the 2024 elections, where he previewed his agenda for his second non-consecutive term. Even with that foreshadowing, Trump has crashed through traditional norms and conventions, aggrandized presidential power, and sought to reshape American politics in ways few would have thought possible. What lessons does history hold for us in approaching the second Trump presidency? Is it plausible to talk about the age of Trump as historians have done for certain presidents? The American experiment in democratic self-governance has been tested in the past. How will it fare going forward? Indeed, will the traditional guardrails hold and protect against the abuse of presidential power? Join Aaron David Miller as he engages in conversation with presidential historians Nicole Hemmer and Douglas Brinkley to discuss these and other issues, on the next Carnegie Connects. ??
