Book Launch: No One's World with Charles Kupchan

   Monday, April 2: Although most strategists recognize that the dominance
   of the West is on the wane, they are confident that its founding ideas
   — democracy, capitalism and secular nationalism — will continue to
   spread. In No One’s World: The West, the Rising Rest, and the Coming
   Global Turn, Kupchan challenges this view, arguing that the world is
   headed for political and ideological diversity. Kupchan is professor of
   international affairs at Georgetown and Whitney Shepardson Senior
   Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. He served on the National
   Security Council during the Clinton presidency and is the author of How
   Enemies Become Friends and The End of the American Era. Reception will
   follow event. 6pm, Mortara Building. [8]Click here to RSVP.

Learning from the Octopus

   Wednesday, April 4: Featuring Dr. Rafe Sagarin, assistant research
   scientists, Institute of the Environment, University of Arizona. The
   most quoted and memorable line from the 9/11 Commission Report was that
   the tragic events of that day represented a "failure of imagination."
   Almost immediately, we cast that failure aside as we began to imagine
   almost anything to be a threat to our security. The real problem in the
   decade that followed 9/11 is that our failure of imagination has been
   almost completely supplanted by a "failure of adaptation."  Organisms
   in nature, however, have been successfully using adaptation to survive
   and thrive on a risk filled planet for billions of years. Sagarin will
   share some of the secrets of nature for adaptation and discuss how they
   can be applied to how we in society respond to unpredictable risks from
   terrorism, to public health emergencies to climate change. 12pm,
   Mortara Building. [11]Click here to RSVP.
