CFR Invitation for 11/30 Academic Conference Call: “Female Entrepreneurship in Afghanistan”
By vittorio | novembre 25, 2011
On behalf of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), I invite you and your students to participate in the next CFR Academic Conference Call on Wednesday, November 30, from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. (ET). Gayle Tzemach Lemmon, CFR’s fellow and deputy director of the Women and Foreign Policy program, will discuss female entrepreneurship in Afghanistan.
Prior to joining CFR, Ms. Lemmon covered public policy and emerging markets for the global investment firm PIMCO, after working for nearly a decade as a journalist and producer with the ABC News political unit and “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.” Her first book, “The Dressmaker of Khair Khana,” a New York Times bestseller, tells the true story of a young Afghan entrepreneur whose business created jobs and hope for the women in her Kabul neighborhood during the Taliban years. Ms. Lemmon’s work on women entrepreneurs in conflict and postconflict regions has appeared in the “Financial Times,” “International Herald Tribune,” and “Christian Science Monitor,” as well as on multiple websites such as the “New York Times Global Edition,” CNN.com, “Daily Beast,” and “Huffington Post.”
I hope you will visit our “Educators” portal on the CFR website at www.cfr.org/educators, where you will find CFR and “Foreign Affairs” resources designed and packaged especially for the academic community, including modules with teaching notes, event announcements, and discounted “Foreign Affairs” subscriptions.

NPIHP Partner Workshop
By admin | ottobre 17, 2011
10-11 Ottobre 2011 – October 10-11, 2011
Prato, Italy
Si è svolto nelle giornate del 10 e 11 Ottobre il primo workshop dei Partners del Nuclear Proliferation International History Project, organizzato e ospitato dalla Monash University nel suo centro di Prato, in Italia.
L’evento ha riunito il CIMA, la East China Normal University, l’ETH Zurich, l’Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses di New Delhi, l’Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) Herzliya, il James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies di Monterey, il Monash South Africa, il National Security Archive e il Woodrow Wilson Center di Washington. Dopo un anno dall’inizio dell’ambizioso e promettente progetto, il meeting di Prato ha rappresentato un’importante occasione per analizzare il lavoro svolto finora e i risultati ottenuti rispetto ai principali obiettivi del NPIHP: l’individuazione di nuovi filoni di ricerca nel campo della storia della proliferazione nucleare, la creazione di archivi digitali e la formazione di una nuova generazione di studiosi di storia nucleare tramite l’istituzione di fellowships e l’annuale Nuclear Boot Camp. La seconda giornata del workshop è stata poi dedicata a stabilire i prossimi passi da intraprendere. I partners hanno discusso nuove opportunità di finanziamento e l’organizzazione di tre conferenze internazionali che, insieme alla seconda edizione del Nuclear Boot Camp, saranno tra le principali attività previste per il 2012. Il Workshop di Prato ha infine rivestito una particolare importanza ai fini della crescita e dell’allargamento del network del NPIHP, grazie alla partecipazione di osservatori e potenziali nuovi partners quali la University of Vienna, la George Washington University, l’Universitè de Paris III – Sorbonne Nouvelle, la University of Amsterdam, la University of South Africa e la Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
On 10-11 October, CIMA together with the East China Normal University, the ETH Zurich, the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) Herzliya, the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, the Monash South Africa, the National Security Archive e the Woodrow Wilson Center attended the first NPIHP Partner Workshop, hosted by the Monash University in its Centre in Prato (Italy).
After one year from the launch of the Project, the Prato meeting has been an important opportunity to evaluate the major accomplishments with regard to the main NPHIP goals: the development of new research directions in nuclear history, the establishment of digital archives, the training of a new generation of young scholars and experts on nuclear matters. The partners also discussed further funding opportunities, as well as the next steps of the Project. The second edition of the Nuclear Boot Camp and the organization of three international Conferences will be among the main activities scheduled for the 2012.
The Prato Workshop has also been an important step for future and promising collaborations. Several potential new partners – such as the University of Vienna, the George Washington University, the University of Paris III Sorbonne Nouvelle, the University of Amsterdam, the University of South Africa and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem – also attended the meeting and added an incredible boost for the enlargement of the NPIHP network.

Seminario: “Crisi globale, declino europeo e rivolte mediterranee” – Urbino, 26 ottobre 2011
By admin | ottobre 17, 2011
C’è un quid che accomuna gli indignados delle piazze di Madrid e Atene, le più recenti rivolte londinesi, e i variegati movimenti democratici, giovanili, “patriottici”, che sull’altra sponda del Mediterraneo si battono contro autocrazie a lungo considerate inossidabili?
C’è un nesso – e di che tipo – tra crisi della globalizzazione (americana), declino politico-economico degli Stati Uniti e dell’Unione europea e gli inediti stravolgimenti che attraversano l’area mediterranea, il Nord Africa, il Medio Oriente? L’ horribilis estate della finanza e dell’economia mondiale cambierà il destino anche della primavera araba?
A questi cruciali – e tutt’altro che facili – interrogativi è dedicato il seminario interdisciplinare e interdipartimentale – Crisi globale, declino europeo e rivolte mediterranee – promosso dall’Università di Urbino e aperto alla partecipazione di esperti di relazioni internazionali, storici, economisti, giuristi, sociologi.
