Jacob Shapiro sits down with Facundo Robles, Program Coordinator at the Wilson Center's Latin America Program, for a wide-ranging conversation on how the Israel-Iran conflict intersects with Latin America's geopolitical and economic realities. They unpack why Latin America remains relatively stable amid global volatility, and how rising oil, fertilizer, and agricultural prices might impact countries like Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil. The conversation weaves through U.S.-China competition, Argentina's foreign policy under Milei, and Venezuela's provocative posturing. --Timestamps:(00:00) - Introduction (04:03) - Impact of Israel-Iran War on Latin America(05:50) - Regional Stability and Conflicts in Latin America(12:26) - Country-Specific Analysis: Mexico(18:17) - Country-Specific Analysis: Argentina(42:40) - Country-Specific Analysis: Venezuela(45:42) - Conclusion --Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShap--The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

It is impossible to overstate how hellish life in Gaza has been for the past 20 months.The death count is above 50,000 people — more than 15,000 of whom are children — and at least 1.9 million of Gaza's 2.1 million people have been displaced over and over again. Starvation is rampant. Hospitals are either damaged or closed; there are only 2,000 remaining hospital beds.Nearly two years after the atrocities of Oct. 7, Israel still has no plan for the day after the conflict ends. Instead, it is escalating its assault on what remains of Hamas and seizing territory to expand its security buffer zone. There are reports that the government is considering a plan that would herd the Gaza Strip's Palestinians into just a small fraction of the territory. In the West Bank, meanwhile, settler violence has increased sharply, and new settlements are moving forward at a record pace.Ehud Olmert, the prime minister of Israel from 2006 to 2009, recently published a searing opinion essay in Haaretz, one of Israel's most influential newspapers: “Enough Is Enough. Israel Is Committing War Crimes.” He joins me to discuss why he believes Israel's war in Gaza can no longer be justified, what he finds missing in Israel's current political leadership and why he has not yet given up hope for a two-state solution.Book Recommendations:The Gates of Gaza by Amir TibonThomas Jefferson by Jon MeachamAll or Nothing by Michael WolffWait Till Next Year by Doris Kearns GoodwinThoughts?

We Must Save the Books. That's Michael Kimmage's SOS message from Trumpian Washington in this issue of Liberties Quarterly. Kimmage, former director of the Kennan Institute at the Wilson Center, describes the surreal experience of being hired in January 2025 only to see his institution shuttered by Trump's administration three months later. He reflects on the "American ruin" created as a consequence of abandonment of the Wilson Center's 30,000 book library. And Kimmage connects the rapid destruction of foreign policy institutions like USAID and the U.S. Institute of Peace to a broader assault on expertise and nonpartisan learning, warning that without such institutions, "an abyss opens" in American governance and international relations. Five Key Takeaways* Institutional Destruction was Swift and Unexplained - The Wilson Center, USAID (reduced from 10,000 to 15 employees), and U.S. Institute of Peace were shuttered within months with no clear rationale provided, creating a "nightmare-like" quality where decisions happened without accountability.* America's First Modern Ruin - Kimmage describes the abandoned Wilson Center library as unprecedented in American experience - a functioning institution in the heart of Washington D.C. suddenly left as a tomb-like ruin, unlike anything seen in a country never defeated on its own soil.* Books Were Saved, But Expertise Was Lost - While the 30,000-volume library was eventually rescued and distributed to universities, the real loss was the destruction of nonpartisan expertise and institutional knowledge that took decades to build.* Echoes of 1950s McCarthyism - The assault on expertise mirrors McCarthyism, with direct connections through Roy Cohn's mentorship of Trump, but differs in scale since it's driven by a president rather than a senator.* The Death of Learning in Government - The shutdowns represent a fundamental rejection of the idea that careful, nonpartisan study of international affairs is essential to effective policymaking, potentially creating an "abyss" in American foreign policy capacity.Michael Kimmage is Director of the Wilson Center's Kennan Institute. Prior to joining the Kennan Institute, Michael Kimmage was a professor of history at the Catholic University of America. From 2014 to 2017, he served on the Secretary's Policy Planning Staff at the U.S. Department of State, where he held the Russia/Ukraine portfolio. He has been a fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and at the German Marshall Fund; and was on the advisory board of the German Institute for International and Security Affairs. He publishes widely on international affairs and on U.S. policy toward Russia. His latest book, Collisions: The War in Ukraine and the Origins of the New Global Instability, was published by Oxford University Press in March 2024. He is also the author of The Abandonment of the West: The History of an Idea in American Foreign Policy, published by Basic Books in 2020, and The Conservative Turn: Lionel Trilling, Whittaker Chambers and the Lessons of Anti-Communism, published by Harvard University Press in 2009.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

On this episode of Reaganism, Reagan Institute Director Roger Zakheim is joined by the Honorable Dr. John Hillen who serves as the James C. Wheat Jr. Professor in Leadership at the Wilson Center and is also a professor in the government and foreign affairs department at Hampden-Sydney College. They discuss the importance of strategic thinking in both business and government. Dr. Hillen emphasizes that while many business executives focus on task accomplishment, only a small percentage naturally think strategically. He draws parallels between military training and business strategy, highlighting the need for leaders to develop strategic and interpersonal skills as they advance in their careers. The discussion also touches on the current state of global leadership, the lessons from history, and the philosophical differences in American foreign policy regarding spheres of influence versus systems of governance.

“Le Mur de Berlin. Un Monde Divisé”à la Cité de l'architecture & du patrimoine, Parisdu 13 mai au 28 septembre 2025Entretien avec Christian Ostermann, PhD, directeur du programme d'histoire et de politique publique et du projet d'histoire internationale de la guerre froide au Wilson Center de Washington, et co-commissaire de l'exposition,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Paris, le 13 mai 2025, durée 30'25, © FranceFineArt.(avec l'aimable traduction de Jessica Le Briqeur)https://francefineart.com/2025/05/22/3624_le-mur-de-berlin_cite-de-l-architecture-et-du-patrimoine/Communiqué de presseCommissariat de l'expositionGerhard Sälter, PhD, responsable de la recherche et de la documentation à la Fondation du Mur de BerlinChristian Ostermann, PhD, directeur du programme d'histoire et de politique publique et du projet d'histoire internationale de la guerre froide au Wilson Center de Washington. Après avoir attiré 175 000 visiteurs à Madrid, la Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine présente, pour la première fois en France, « Le Mur de Berlin. Un Monde Divisé », la première exposition itinérante dédiée au Mur de Berlin. Ce projet exceptionnel réunit plus de 200 objets originaux, provenant de plus de 40 institutions internationales, ainsi que des témoignages poignants.L'exposition, organisée par Musealia en collaboration avec la Fondation du Mur de Berlin, explore les multiples expériences vécues des deux côtés du mur pendant près de trois décennies. Elle offre un témoignage humain saisissant d'une époque marquée par le conflit mondial entre le capitalisme et le socialisme, un affrontement qui a menacé d'engloutir le monde dans une guerre nucléaire.« Travailler sur cette exposition depuis plusieurs années est un grand honneur, et c'est avec une immense fierté que nous la présentons à Paris, capitale de la culture et point névralgique de l'histoire. À la Fondation du Mur de Berlin, nous nous engageons à aborder des enjeux contemporains comme les migrations, l'État de droit et les droits de l'homme. Nous interrogeons également les effets sociaux des régimes autoritaires et la valeur d'une société pluraliste. Nous espérons que Le Mur de Berlin. Un Monde Divisé rappellera ce qui s'est passé il y a peu de temps en Europe, tout en sensibilisant le public au pouvoir du peuple. Leur courage a conduit à la révolution de 1989, un moment historique qui a changé le monde », déclare Axel Klausmeier, directeur de la Fondation du Mur de Berlin.L'exposition présente plus de 200 objets authentiques, parmi lesquels des morceaux du Mur de Berlin, des documents illustrant son évolution au fil des années, ainsi que les barbelés installés au début de la division. Les visiteurs découvriront aussi des objets du quotidien que les Berlinois ont ingénieusement détournés pour le passage clandestin, l'approvisionnement en produits de première nécessité et la communication entre les civils des deux côtés. Des artefacts relatifs à la chute du Mur et à la fin de la Guerre froide dans les années 1980 seront également exposés, tels que les outils utilisés par les Berlinois le 9 novembre 1989 pour démolir le Mur.Cette exposition retrace l'histoire de la manière dont les Berlinois et, plus largement, le monde ont perçu, combattu, fui, supporté, puis surmonté le fossé de la Guerre froide. En prolongeant le récit jusqu'à la chute du Mur en 1989, moment historique qui a évité une catastrophe nucléaire, l'exposition interroge l'héritage d'une époque dont l'impact continue de façonner le monde actuel.

Hey EYV Fam! In today's episode of Embracing Your Voice, I'm sitting down with Gwen Young - CEO of the Women Business Collaborative (WBC) and visiting scholar at George Washington University. Gwen's career journey is incredible, from humanitarian work to global development to leading the charge for women's leadership across industries.We get into some real talk about why women's voices (especially women of color) are still underrepresented in leadership spaces, and what it's going to take to change that. If you're passionate about building a better, more equitable future, you're going to love this one.What We Cover:How Gwen's early experiences - like attending a women's college -shaped her passion for leadershipWhat working in humanitarian crises taught her about women's voices and global leadershipWhy women need a seat at every table (not just one)What's actually happening in the C-suite today and why diversity numbers still lag behindThe real barriers women face when climbing the leadership ladderHow mentorship, sponsorship, and building strong networks can change the game for womenAction steps organizations (and all of us) can take to create more pathways to leadershipTimestamps:00:00 – Kicking things off02:00 – Meet Gwen Young06:30 – Gwen's early leadership influences10:15 – Lessons from humanitarian work15:20 – Why women's representation matters across every sector21:00 – The state of women in leadership today27:45 – Why women of color still face the steepest hurdles34:10 – How networks, mentorship, and sponsorship make a difference41:20 – Real ways organizations can step up48:00 – Final thoughts + my takeawaysIn this episode, I'm chatting with Gwen Young, someone who has spent her career pushing for real change when it comes to women's leadership.We kick things off by talking about Gwen's time at Smith College and how being in a women-centered environment shaped her belief that women belong at the decision-making table. From there, we dive into her humanitarian work and the experiences that made her realize how differently women experience crises, leadership, and opportunity.We also talk about what's going on in corporate America today: yes, we've made progress, but there's still a big gap - especially for women of color. Gwen breaks down the systemic barriers that are still holding women back, like microaggressions, a lack of networks, and missed opportunities for professional development.One of my favorite parts of our conversation? When Gwen talks about building the “women's old girls' network” a powerful, supportive network that can rival the “old boys' clubs” that have existed forever.There's so much good stuff in here about mentorship, sponsorship, leadership programs, and how organizations can actually move the needle - not just talk about it.If you care about women's advancement, leadership, and making sure ALL women have the chance to lead, you're going to walk away from this episode fired up and ready to take action.Guest Info:Gwen K.

Three months into the second Trump administration, they assess how the White House is reshaping US policy in the Middle East—what's changed, what's stayed the same, and what risks lie ahead. Verstandig reflects on lessons from her years working on the Israeli-Palestinian peace process during the Clinton era, offering both poignant stories and policy insights from a time when diplomacy looked very different.

As we entered 2025, there was a sense of cautious optimism about Syria. With Assad gone, many hoped the country could finally begin to turn a page. Instead, earlier this month over 1,000 civilians were killed in an outburst of sectarian violence prompting global concern. This concern is especially acute among Syria's religious and ethnic minorities. With Syria standing at a pivotal moment, Nadine Maenza joins Thanos Davelis to highlight how lasting peace and stability can only be achieved through genuine inclusion and equal citizenship for all Syrians.Nadine Maenza is the President of the IRF Secretariat, an international organization focused on building infrastructure to support the religious freedom movement globally.

NOTE: This interview was recorded before the 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar and Thailand on Friday, March 28. Please see the statement from our guest, Lucas Myers, which follows the episode description below.In this episode of Need to Know, Lucas Myers, Senior Associate for Southeast Asia for the Wilson Center's Indo-Pacific Program discusses Myanmar's proposed elections, the junta's dwindling control, and China's role in the crisis. Along with host John Milewski, they analyze whether or not a vote under military rule would be credible. Statement from Lucas Myers:Midday local time on Friday, March 28th, a 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit Myanmar and Thailand. The epicenter was near Mandalay, the second largest city in the country, and damage extended throughout the country's central regions. Thailand was also heavily impacted, including Bangkok. Given the ongoing civil war, human cost could be catastrophic for the people of Myanmar. Casualty numbers are difficult to verify considering the wartime circumstances but could be well into the thousands. The humanitarian situation in Myanmar was already dire, and the earthquake only adds to a number of crises across the country. These include a widespread risk of famine in parts of the country and a collapsing economy.Rapid response international aid will be needed, but the Myanmar military junta is likely to attempt to interfere for its own ends. The international community will need to coordinate closely with the resistance actors who now control almost 50% of Myanmar's territory.

An intelligent and in-depth discussion of Trump's 2025 tariff threats and what they mean for Mexico's economy. On this episode of the podcast, host Nathaniel Parish Flannery speaks to Diego Marroquin Bitar, a North America researcher at the Wilson Center, a Washington DC-based think tank. Diego says that Trump's 25% tariffs, implemented on March 4, 2025, represent a "red light" level of risk for foreign investors considering making investments in Mexico. He also explains why Mexico's economy is so vulnerable to Trump's bullying. Exports account for over a third of Mexico's GDP and over 80 percent of Mexico's exports go to the US. On the other hand, US exports of goods to Mexico account for only about 1% of the US's GDP. Although both countries benefit from cross-border commerce, the relationship is more important to Mexico than it is to the U.S. But, Diego also gives Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum an "A" for her effort in dealing with Trump so far. To many observers it still seems like it's still unclear if Mexico can really make a deal with Trump. Are the tariffs just a tactic for bullying Mexico during broader negotiations? Or are we starting an improvised experiment with radically shaking up the global trade system? “Trump 1.0 used tariffs as a bargaining chip. I think right now more than just a concession extraction tool tariffs are being used to undermine Mexico's nearshoring potential. I think this is something [Trump and his team] are doing on purpose. They are making manufacturing in Mexico less attractive vis-à-vis the U.S.,” Diego said. Even before the new tariffs went into effect Mexico's economy was only expected to grow by around 1 percent. Executives at foreign companies are going to have to figure out how serious Trump really is about using tariffs as a long-term economic strategy. In the short-term, this new environment of unprecedented levels of uncertainty in the global economy will hurt investment in Mexico.

This week on the podcast, we discuss Donald Trump's inauguration and his return to the Oval Office, including his memorandums and executive orders. Joining the conversation is Christopher Sands, Director of the Wilson Center's Canada Institute, a specialist on Canada, US-Canadian relations, and North American economic integration.Here are some of the questions Jackie and Peter asked Christopher: What is your reaction to President Trump's speech to the business leaders at Davos, specifically his remarks about not needing Canadian lumber, automobiles, or oil and gas? President Trump's inauguration speech mentioned expanding territory; does that mean going to war? The executive order "American First Trade Policy" outlined a process to make trade recommendations by April 1st. However, President Trump also mentioned February 1st as the day tariffs could be imposed on Canada and Mexico. Which date do you expect? How important is it for Canada to increase its military spending? Some of President Trump's executive orders, such as “Unleashing American Energy” and “Declaring a National Energy Emergency,” grant the federal government significant powers—akin to wartime measures—to expedite energy infrastructure development. Do you expect these powers will be challenged in the courts? President Trump has stated that he will end the Green New Deal, and one executive order froze the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) funds. What is your expectation regarding support for clean energy? Canada currently has a void of federal leadership, and Premiers are filling the gap and going to Washington, D.C.; how is that being viewed in the US?  What are your views on the top contenders for the next Prime Minister of Canada and their ability to negotiate successfully with President Trump and the new Administration?Content referenced in this podcast: The Canusa Street PodcastCanada and the United States: Differences That Count, Fifth edition, David Thomas and Christopher Sands Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

On his first day in office Donald Trump issued a slew of executive orders to address what he called “an unprecedented flood” of immigration. Terminating birthright citizenship, a right enshrined in the Constitution, declaring a national emergency at the border and seeking funds to build a border wall are just some of Trump's directives. Many of his orders faced immediate opposition: as of Tuesday, 18 states and two cities had filed lawsuits attacking the legality of the birthright citizenship order. We talk about Trump's early moves on immigration and how they are impacting immigrants and their families. Guests: Salvador Rivera, correspondent based in San Diego, BorderReport.com Deep Gulasekaram, professor of law and director of Byron White Center for the Study of Constitutional Law, University of Colorado Boulder Law School.

What's behind Donald Trump's obsession with Greenland? Most of the island is covered in ice, less than sixty thousand people live there and, until recently, it was best known for snowy photos of polar bears. But climate change has changed the equation and thrust the island into the middle of global politics. Donald Trump has repeatedly said he'd like to buy the territory, and last week at a news conference he said that taking military action to acquire it was not off the table. Sherri Goodman is secretary general of the International Military Council on Climate and Security. She is also a senior fellow at the Wilson Center and author of a new book, “Threat Multiplier: Climate, Military Leadership, and the Fight for Global Security.”

Dr. Elizabeth Hessami is a professor at Johns Hopkins University and a licensed attorney. She has served as a visiting attorney for the Environmental Law Institute for nearly a decade, researching post-conflict natural resources management and specializing in armed conflict and the environment. And she was actually my professor for Environmental and Natural Resource Security in my masters program.  Resource security refers to a state in which a country or region has sustainable, stable, timely, adequate and economical access to necessary natural resources and resource products, and the capability to maintain a sustained state of security. The UN states: As climate change accelerates, its impacts exacerbate existing social, economic, and environmental challenges in many contexts, which can contribute to insecurity at local levels and internationally. Security concerns linked to climate change include impacts on food, water and energy supplies, increased competition over natural resources, loss of livelihoods, climate-related disasters, and forced migration and displacement. Despite growing recognition of the interlinkages between climate change, peace and security, few examples of integrated programmatic approaches that address specific risks at the intersection of climate change and insecurity exist.  Conflict and crisis affected contexts are more susceptible to being overwhelmed by climate change, but too often peacebuilding and stabilisation efforts often do not consider climate-related impacts or environmental hazards. At the same time, insecurity hinders climate change adaptation efforts, leaving already vulnerable communities even poorer and less resilient to interlinked climate and security crises, but climate change adaptation initiatives often fail to fully integrate peacebuilding or conflict prevention objectives. With Dr. Hessami, we talk about her background, work in Afghanistan, the phenomenon of the resource curse, some of the biggest threats, challenges, and what the future looks like.
