<p>For over 30 years, experts, officials, executives, journalists, and students from across the globe have come together to debate—and explore solutions for—the most pressing challenges in nuclear nonproliferation, arms control, disarmament, deterrence, energy, and security at the Carnegie International Nuclear Policy Conference. After meeting virtually in 2021, we will gather again in person and online in 2022. Join us October 27 and 28 as we reconnect, rebuild, and reenergize the nuclear policy field.</p><p><strong>For those joining in person, the conference will be held at a new venue—the Hyatt Regency Washington On Capitol Hill.&nbsp;</strong></p><p>While plenary sessions will be streamed free of charge on YouTube, paid virtual attendees will be able to engage fully in the conference through access to livestreams of all conference panels and side sessions, the ability to participate in live Q&amp;A, and networking opportunities with other conference participants.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Due to limited space and concerns surrounding the COVID pandemic, registration will be capped at 400 participants. Once these slots are filled, you can add yourself to the waitlist by registering (without paying). If we are able to offer you a space, you will be contacted and asked to complete payment.</p><p>Registration will open on May 2, 2022. Check back here for more details!</p>

<p>In recent weeks, terror attacks in Israel and operations launched by the Israeli Defense Forces have claimed the lives of more than thirty Palestinians and Israelis. Israeli police have also clashed with Palestinians on the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount in Jerusalem.</p><p>This escalation is occurring at a critical moment for the region as negotiations to revive the Iran nuclear deal have stalled, raising the prospects of an Israeli-Iranian confrontation over Tehran’s nuclear program.

Peace, Security and Conflict in the Middle East

<p>According to a recent report by the World Bank, Africa hosts more digital financial services than any other region and is home to almost half of the total 700 million users in the world. On the continent, some nations engage in mobile money banking, while others focus on the cybersecurity of digital systems. How are these practices engaging in digital inclusion? What can countries do to foster inclusive and secure technological systems in the financial sectors and beyond?&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Join the Carnegie Technology and International Affairs Program for the first event in a two-part series on digital financial inclusion in Africa, featuring Tomslin Samme-Nlar, Elizabeth Kolade, Noëlle Cowling, in conversation with Carnegie fellow Nanjira Sambuli</p>

CyberFi: Perspectives on Securing Digital Financial Inclusion in Africa

<p>The economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have been severe for parts of the African continent, exacerbating existing fiscal and socio-economic challenges. Although African economies are slowly recovering, that recovery is constrained by low vaccination rates, tight fiscal space, unequal access to external finance, and increasing debt vulnerabilities. The disruption of global trade flows and commodity markets by the situation in Ukraine is adding more pressures. Still, African governments have undertaken a wide range of initiatives to provide relief to their citizens and position their economies on the path to resilience and prosperity.</p><p>Join the Carnegie Africa Program and The ONE Campaign for an in-depth discussion of the way forward for Africa’s post-pandemic economic recovery. We are honored to host the Honorable Zainab Shamsuna Ahmed, Nigeria’s minister of finance, budget and national planning, and the Honorable Kenneth Ofori-Atta, Ghana’s minister for finance and economic planning, for a special program on the sidelines of the 2022 Spring Meetings of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund.</p>

China-EU Relations Amid the Ukraine Crisis

<p>The growing crisis in Ukraine is creating millions of refugees. Pressure on aid budgets that were already stretched by Covid-19, and dwindling political bandwidth, is likely to have a knock-on impact on Syria's more-than 6.5m million refugees and 6 million internally displaced persons. As Syria's conflict enters its eleventh year, conditions inside the country and across the region continue to decline, with push factors leading to displacement increasing, while the conditions inside the country remain unchanged. According to multiple reports documenting the abuse of returnees, conditions remain wholly unsuitable for a safe, dignified, and voluntary return. Despite this, upcoming parliamentary elections in Lebanon and Turkey are fostering an environment increasingly amenable to anti-refugee rhetoric, which is generating pressure for a refugee return. This is then communicated to humanitarians working across the region who must walk the line between rights and a challenging operational environment. Syria's political process is not immune from a discussion of a refugee return, with UN Special Envoy Geir Pedersen continuing to mention the need to facilitate returns during his Security Council briefings. Fewer resources, declining conditions, a political stalemate in Syria, and increased pressure on refugees themselves, mean that the issue of a refugee return to Syria will be increasingly troubled.&nbsp;</p><p>The Malcolm H.

Can South Korea Sustain a Globalized Foreign Policy?

<p>Developing countries require an estimated $40 trillion for infrastructure and development financing to bridge an investment gap and propel them toward prosperity, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. For at least two decades, China has been the major financier of infrastructure development in Africa, more recently through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). But this year, the G7 launched the Build Back Better World (B3W) Initiative, a partnership aimed at mobilizing infrastructure investments in low and middle-income countries,&nbsp;including&nbsp;those in Africa.</p><p>While Western media coverage of the B3W frames the initiative in the starkly competitive terms of “geopolitical rivalry” or “strategic competition,” the reality is likely to be more complex.

Meeting Challenges in the Indo-Pacific and China: French Strategic Perspectives

<p>Fifty years ago this summer, the Nixon administration decided to decouple the dollar from its gold backing. This monumental decision took a sledge hammer to the Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944, sent shockwaves throughout the global economy, upset foreign relations with America’s closest allies, and led to floating exchange rates, accelerated globalization, and an era of burden sharing among key countries. Today the dollar faces another set of challenges—from China, digital currencies, new forms of protectionism, and America’s own political and institutional crises.
