They will reflect on their experiences to offer lessons for future African investments, discuss what the US government can do to better support US investment into Africa, and examine how African governments can attract more external investment.
Senior Fellows Bryan Clark and Nadia Schadlow will host military and industry experts to discuss this new approach to weapon development and the DoD’s progress in fielding adaptable, scalable weapons systems.
Join Hudson for a panel discussion with American and Taiwanese experts and former policymakers on how Taiwan can navigate economic headwinds, realign its trade strategy, and strengthen its resilience in the face of the rising Chinese threat.
Michael Doran, director of Hudson’s Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East, will host Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) for a discussion on the strategic benefits of designating the Polisario Front as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO).
