A New Marshall Plan? Heather Conley on Rebuilding Ukraine

Hailed as one of the most successful displays of US foreign policy, the Marshall Plan not only initiated the rebuilding of Europe after the Second World War, but also secured the United States' sustained presence and influence in global affairs. With the return of war on the European continent, questions about a similar initiative to fund the long-term recovery of Ukraine are actively being considered. Could the United States again play a crucial role in coordinating and implementing a modern Marshall Plan, and what lessons should be drawn (or perhaps, avoided) when looking back at its predecessor? On the 13th of December 2023, The Netherlands Atlantic Association hosted Heather Conley, President of The German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) and author of the report “A Modern Marshall Plan for Ukraine”, in an online conversation with Bob Deen (Senior Research Fellow and Head of the Security Unit, The Clingendael Institute), moderated by Anna van Zoest (Director, Netherlands Atlantic Association). Together with Conley, we reflected on rebuilding Ukraine after the war and consider broader questions related to trans-Atlantic security cooperation in light of next year's NATO Summit and the 2024 US presidential elections.

At its core, the German Marshall Fund strives to champion democratic values and the transatlantic alliance by strengthening civil society, forging bold and innovative policy ideas, and developing a new generation of leaders to tackle global challenges. In fact, many of its alumni reside right here in Northeast Ohio and they continue to drive innovative solutions to the challenges our communities face.rnrnAs the organization's sixth president, Heather Conley is leading the German Marshall Fund forward during these times of international unrest and upheaval. Alliances and strategic relations around the world are being redefined by the Russian war against Ukraine and growing US-China competition and tension. It begs us to reconsider US and European engagement in global swing states, new patterns of international cooperation, and what type of leadership is required of all of us at this moment.rnrnConley has spent her career working in international relations and governmental affairs. Before coming to the German Marshall Fund, she spent 12 years at the Center for Strategic and International Studies as the senior vice president for Europe, Eurasia, and the Arctic. Before that, she was the executive director of the Office of the Chairman of the Board at the American National Red Cross and the deputy assistant secretary of state in the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs.

Hungary is the only EU member (and second NATO ally, after Turkey) to be snubbed by US President Joseph Biden's Summit for Democracy in December. Poland faces two hearings from the EU's legal bodies: a verdict from the European Court of Human Rights on the Extraordinary Audit Chamber of the Polish Supreme Court and the National Council of Judiciary, as well as another ruling on the Turów coal mine dispute with Czechia. Warsaw is offering the Czechs 50 million euros in ‘financial contribution' in hopes of brokering an agreement. Bulgarian parliamentary and presidential elections are on Sunday — incumbent President Rumen Radev is the favourable candidate while the new party headed by finance and economy minister of the caretaker government, ‘We Continue the Change', is gathering potential to break the country's political deadlock. Scott Cullinane, Helmut Schmidt fellow at the German Marshall Fund, breaks down the testimonies on democratic backsliding in Hungary and Poland delivered last week at a Congressional hearing of the Helsinki Commission; including the advocacy for a reassessment of US ‘force posture' vis-a-vis Poland and NATO suggested by Heather Conley, head of the German Marshal Fund think tank. Special addition episode on potential for conflict escalation in Bosnia delivered by Visegrad Insight's Programme Manager Tetiana Poliak-Grujić. To understand why the political crisis is becoming more and more inflammable with the potential of undermining all post-Balkan-War stability efforts in the region, we speak with Professor Miloš Šolaja from the University of Banja Luka (BiH) and Marta Szpala from the Centre of Eastern Studies (PL).

The Eastern Mediterranean forms a geostrategic seam between Europe and the Middle East. For over seventy years, the region represented a strategic anchor for the United States, which understood its importance both to strengthening Europe and to limiting instability in the Middle East. Today, the United States and its allies are struggling to adapt a coherent Eastern Mediterranean regional policy that acknowledges dramatically new economic, political, and security realities while ensuring that the region remains transatlantically anchored.  As Syria enters its seventh year of conflict, Russia and Iran deepen their military footprints in the region, and NATO ally Turkey radically alters its domestic and external policies, the strategic importance of the region to the United States is growing while U.S. influence there appears to be waning. To assess regional security challenges and discuss NATO and U.S. Navy operational approaches to the Eastern Mediterranean, we are pleased to host Admiral James G. Foggo, III, commander, Allied Joint Force Command Naples; commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe; and commander, U.S. Naval Forces Africa, for a timely conversation. Jon Alterman and Heather Conley will offer reflections and observations on a recently concluded CSIS research project on the Eastern Mediterranean.

Russia's interference in our election didn't happen in a vacuum. The Russians have been waging influence campaigns across Europe for decades. That's why Heather Conley of CSIS studied Russia's operations in Central and Eastern Europe. Her findings are contained in a report that has become a must read in Washington—it's called The Kremlin Playbook. And you can read it by visiting www.csis.org. The Playbook examines Russia's efforts to gain economic and political influence in Bulgaria, Hungary, Latvia, Serbia and Slovakia. Its findings show a broad pattern of Russian behavior that can help us understand Russia's interference in the 2016 US election. This episode, part 2 in our mini-series, discussed how Russia influences elections.

Ep. 16 - Heather Conley: The Fibromyalgia Mystery

Physicians are generally confused by fibromyalgia, and it can be fairly controversial. Fibromyalgia is characterized by non-specific pain that doesn't seem to have any particular source. Some believe it's a real physical condition, while others believe it's entirely psychogenic. Some believe it doesn't exist at all. Today we're digging into the mystery of fibromyalgia with Heather Conley, a functional medicine practitioner working remotely in New Mexico. Although fibromyalgia bears all the warning sign of pseudoscience, a growing number of medical researchers believe there is something real happening. Although there is no known cause, some cases are actually proving to be treatable. According to the CDC, Fibromyalgia affects about 4 million US adults, or about 2% of the adult population. The most common symptoms for Fibromyalgia are: Pain and stiffness all over the body Fatigue and tiredness Depression and anxiety Sleep problems Problems with thinking, memory, and concentration Headaches, including migraines One of the biggest issues with treating fibromyalgia is that it does not respond well to the typical Western treatment options, which often act as a band-aid instead of getting to the root cause (which, of course, is also difficult to do with this disease). So how can someone manage their fibromyalgia? It will look different for everyone because the root cause is not consistent, but these are some things that you might consider. Changing your diet is a big thing, especially if you're suffering from intestinal issues or leaky gut. Gluten and dairy can both cause inflammation in the gut, so it's best to avoid them. Lack of sleep will worsen every other health issue in your body, so it's almost impossible to address the root cause if you aren't sleeping. Most people with fibromyalgia don't have enough magnesium, which is also common in the general population. Low magnesium can cause pain, spasms, acid reflux, anxiety, and more. Supplements can help restore your magnesium levels. -- Resources: Learn more with Heather: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Pinterest Do you want more to empower yourself through healthy living?
