On Wednesday, October 16, 2019, CSBA hosted a seminar for General David H. Berger, 38th Commandant of the United States Marine Corps. General Berger and his team met with CSBA President Thomas Mahnken and CSBA leadership and research staff to discuss the Commandant’s Planning Guidance, recent CSBA work on the maritime domain and the Western Pacific, operational concepts, emerging technologies, and other critical issues facing the Marine Corps and the Department of Defense.

CSBA Senior Fellow Ross Babbage discusses two new CSBA reports on political warfare campaigns by Russia and China as well as Chinese hybrid warfare operations in the Indo-Pacific region. Babbage and CSBA Counselor Eric Edelman discuss the implications of these global challenges for U.S. and its allies, along with key policy recommendations. Discussion moderated by CSBA President and CEO Thomas Mahnken.

Join us at 11:30 AM on 26 June for a discussion of Revolution and Aftermath: Forging a New Strategy toward Iran with Eric Edelman and Ray Takeyh, as they examine one of the most underappreciated forces that has shaped modern US foreign policy: American-Iranian relations.

As the modernization of existing nuclear arsenals, the spread of nuclear weapons, and the diffusion of new technologies make the nuclear landscape more complex, the time is ripe for a fresh examination of the nuclear balance. Toward this end, CSBA has been conducting a multi-year net assessment of the changing nuclear balance.

Join us as Ambassador Eric Edelman, CSBA Counselor, and Rebecca Hersman, Senior Adviser in the International Security Program and Director of the Project on Nuclear Issues at CSIS, discuss this new volume with the editors, Lawrence Rubin and Adam Stulberg of the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

The new release on American-Iranian relations by Eric Edelman and Ray Takeyh will be available on 1 July.
