Events| SID-Washington July Chapter Event 2010 |
Fri Jul 30, 2010 12:00 PM
When: July 30th 12:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Where: AED, Greeley Hall, 1875 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C.
Please join us for a talk-show style discussion on The Conspicuously Absent Fourth "D:" Democracy.
The emphasis on soft power in recent years invokes the cooperation of the ‘3 Ds’: Development, Diplomacy, and Defense. Many observers note the ‘missing D’ for Democracy.
The panelists will examine this topic within the context of the current Administration’s continued commitment to democracy and governance issues. President Obama’s historic speech in Ghana last year renewed the American commitment to support democratic values and institutions around the world. The recently released National Security Strategy also supports this promise: "… Our diplomacy and development capabilities must help prevent conflict, spur economic growth, strengthen weak and failing states, lift people out of poverty, combat climate change and epidemic disease, and strengthen institutions of democratic governance…"
With the USAID Administrator firmly in place, the July SID-Washington Chapter event will take an in-depth look at the Administration’s approach to supporting democracy promotion, possible limits to it, and how support can evolve moving forward.
Speakers:
Lorne Craner, President, International Republican Institute
Sarah Mendelson, Deputy Assistant Administrator, USAID, DHCA
Kenneth Wollack, President, National Democratic Institute
Moderator:
Malcolm Butler, Senior Vice President, Emerging Markets, Management Systems International and SID-Washington Board Member
Refreshments and finger food will be provided.
