Join Hudson Institute for a conversation with Deputy Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development Bonnie Glick on the role of U.S. foreign assistance in great power competition during the COVID-19 pandemic. The discussion will be moderated by Hudson Fellow Blaise Misztal.
As the United States grapples with the coronavirus, the disease is exacting an even heavier toll on emerging markets and developing countries. These societies—often with weak institutions, fledgling economies, major debts, and simmering tensions or ongoing conflicts—face not only a growing public health crisis, but also famine, financial meltdown, rising extremism, violence, and meddling by autocratic states.
What is the U.S. doing to continue its legacy of providing effective foreign assistance to developing countries? How is U.S. foreign aid adapting to the added challenge of its competitors seeking to advance their interests and expand their influence in developing countries? Deputy Administrator Glick will address these and other questions.
Join Senior Fellow Dr. Rebeccah Heinrichs and Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) for a fireside discussion on how Congress can guide American strategy, the need to modernize the defense industrial base, and the vital role of allies and partners in an unstable international environment.
Join Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Robert McDowell for a discussion of the book and communications law with the authors, Harold Furchtgott-Roth, Kirk Arner, and Arielle Roth.
Please join Congressman Jimmy Panetta (D-CA) and Senior Fellow Ken Moriyasu for a discussion on Central Asia’s economic and strategic significance and why updating US trade policy is key to unlocking the region’s potential in an era of renewed great power competition.
