36] – The GW Institute for Korean Studies
[gwiks@gwu.edu] is hosting a Korea Policy Forum Virtual Roundtable Discussion
on Wed., Sept. 29 from 9 to 10:30 AM ET. To be discussed is U.S.-China
Strategic Rivalry and U.S.-ROK Cooperation after the Biden-Moon Summit. In their first summit meeting held last May,
South Korean President Moon Jae-in and U.S. President Joe Biden rejuvenated the
decades-long alliance by not only focusing on traditional bilateral topics but
also addressing new regional and global issues in the context of the
intensifying U.S.-China strategic rivalry—including climate change, supply
chains, and freedom of navigation in the South China Sea. The agreements made
at the summit could have long-term ramifications for South Korea’s strategic
positioning in Northeast Asia and the United States’ broader regional strategy.
In particular, the allies will have to navigate changing dynamics in domestic
politics leading up to and after the 2022 presidential election in South Korea
and midterm elections in the United States. RSVP at

Offering a profound lesson in civic courage, the book highlights some extraordinary athletes who risked everything to help this country set the stage for the racial reckoning we now face.

51] – After the Apocalypse with Andrew Bacevich will take place on Wed., Sept. 29 at 7 PM ET. He will discuss his latest book which is the title of his talk. He sets out new principles to guide the United States, the once-but-no-longer sole superpower as it navigates a transformed world. The purpose of U.S. foreign policy has, at least theoretically, been to keep Americans safe. Yet as we confront a radically changed world, it has become indisputably clear that the terms of that policy have failed. Washington’s insistence that a market economy is compatible with the common good, its faith in the idea of the “West” and its “special relationships,” its conviction that global military primacy is the key to a stable and sustainable world order—these have brought endless wars and a succession of moral and material disasters. Bacevich is the President of the Quincy Institute.
