One of the first government agencies targeted for dismantling by the Trump Administration, The United States' Agency for International Development (USAID) has been a major focal point of executive actions, headlines, and judicial filings. The chaotic approach to slashing jobs, shuttering offices, and eliminating funding has led to many people feeling unclear on what this agency does and how it affects the United States, as well as its relationship to the world. With many questions still remaining about the legality of what the Administration is attempting, as USAID is a Congressionally mandated agency, many Americans are left to wonder and wade through a dizzying array of information. In light of all this, the World Affairs Council of New Hampshire spoke with Charles Kenney, Senior Fellow at the Center for Global Development, to unpack the history of this agency and the impact it has. From administering lifesaving treatments around the world (which remain paused despite waivers) to building local economies (allowing people to stay in their home countries, rather than migrating to the West), this Agency has left an indelible mark on the world. Join us on this insightful conversation as you learn more about the realities surrounding USAID.Charles Kenny is a senior fellow at the Center for Global Development.

University of Oklahoma comparative political scientist Charles Kenney looks at the death and legacy of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, and John Topping, the President and CEO of the Climate Institute, discusses climate change, the Arctic, and international security.

Venezuela's official gazette published a decree this week signed by ailing President Hugo Chavez. It's the first time the president's signature has appeared in the gazette since his latest cancer-related surgery, indicating he could be getting better. The decree issued Tuesday and published Wednesday names former vice president Elias Jaua Milano as Venezuela's new foreign minister. Chavez has not made any public comments since his fourth operation in Cuba last month. Vice President Nicolas Maduro says Chavez asked questions when he visited him. Maduro expressed gratitude to Chavez's medical team during a televised meeting in Caracas on Tuesday morning. Maduro says that Chavez is, in his words, "climbing the hill, he's advancing." Chavez has been fighting an unspecified type of pelvic cancer. University of Oklahoma comparative political scientist Charles Kenney is an expert on Latin American governments and democratization in the region. He says Chavez's silence has fed speculation about his condition. "We have limited information," Kenney said. "We know he had surgery on December 11. He has not been seen since before then. The fact is that we have no idea whether he's alive, if he's in a coma, if he has a lung infection. We have no idea." Shifting to Iran, on Wednesday President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the country must move away from dependence on oil revenue to overcome Western sanctions that have slowed the economy and disrupted foreign trade. Political scientist Mehrzad Boroujerdi returns to World Views to discuss the domestic situation in Iran. He says even though those sanctions impoverish the middle class and create discontent, the regime isn't as effective as it once was. "Because the government has been utilizing this discourse of anti-Americanism for the last 30 years, they have been getting a lot of mileage out of that," Boroujerdi said. "This type of discourse no longer resonates with the average Iranian citizen." Boroujerdi founded and leads the Middle East Studies Program at Syracuse University, where he also co-founded their Religion, Media, and International Relations Program.
