Mega-Dams, Oil, and 'Terrorists': Blowback from U.S. Geopolitics in the Horn of Africa
Claudia Carr, Associate Professor, Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management, University of California, Berkeley
Faced with intensifying geographic confinement and overgrazing of lands they have inhabited for centuries, pastoral groups in the Sudan-Ethiopia-Kenya trans-border region have increasingly turned to alternative survival strategies - namely, recession (flood) cultivation, along with fishing in the Omo River and throughout Kenya's Lake Turkana. Already partially constructed but not yet fully funded, The Gibe III hydrodam would radically reduce the Omo River's flow and the waters of Lake Turkana, thus destroying all subsistence activities within the region. Join us for a discussion of these critical issues and the potential for a full-scale collapse of indigenous economies and massive scale starvation throughout the trans-border area.

This brown-bag lunch series is a collaboration with the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice at the NYU School of Law, the Office for International Programs at the NYU Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, and the NYU Master’s Program in Public Health.

Accountability to Beneficiaries of Humanitarian Aid: What is It and How Can It Be Measured?
Mark Foran, Attending Emergency Physician, Bellevue Hospital Center and NYU Langone Medical Center; Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine, NYU School of Medicine
People affected by conflict and disaster have little to no voice in the relief process. Recently, there has been a call for increased accountability to beneficiaries of humanitarian aid. This effort reflects a rights-based approach to humanitarian relief, wherein affected communities participate in the relief process and have a fundamental right to aid that sustains a basic level of human dignity. There are currently few established quantitative methods to measure accountability toward the beneficiaries of aid. Foran will discuss indicators that could be used to evaluate and characterize accountability across diverse environments and circumstances, and increase the effectiveness of aid, thereby improving and saving lives.

This brown-bag lunch series is a collaboration with the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice at the NYU School of Law, the Office for International Programs at the NYU Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, and the NYU Master’s Program in Public Health.

Dr. Vilma “Nina” Balmaceda, Director, Center for Scholarship and Global Engagement; Associate Professor of Political Science, Nyack College
One of the features of post-internal conflict societies in Latin America in the last three decades has been the attempt by various domestic and international institutions to address issues of gross human rights violations that took place in the context of severe government repression. Using empirical evidence, this presentation will offer an analysis of the relative progress and persistent challenges in the quest for internal political reconciliation in Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Uruguay, by assessing relevant areas such as the existence of a shared history; the efforts to find truth and justice; and the government’s reparations programs.

| 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM | Bad Company featuring Colin Clarke
Crime pays, and criminals are actors on the world stage whose powerful (if often hidden) role in the modern world has fully yet to be understood. Criminals run globe-spanning businesses that supply narcotics, trafficked people, and illegal services. They arm insurgents and destabilize governments. They bypass national and international regulations on everything from financial transactions to environmental standards. Professor Mark Galeotti, CGA academic chair and an expert on transnational and organized crime, hosts a series of conversations with scholars and security analysts that illuminate the workings of the global underworld: what it does, how it does it, and what this means for us all.
A Deadly Nexus: Crime, Corruption, and Conflict in Afghanistan
Colin Clarke, Project Associate, RAND Corporation
Afghanistan is now the longest running war in American history. Following 10 years of American military intervention in the country, it still ranks among the poorest and weakest states in the world. At the core of this instability is a nexus of crime, corruption, and conflict that intersect to undermine the legitimacy of the government while at the same time emboldens the insurgents who seek to overthrow it. Clarke, an alumnus of the CGA’s Masters program, is a project associate for the RAND Corporation who spent time embedded with Coalition forces in Afghanistan. He is currently writing his dissertation on the importance of resources and leadership in insurgency at the University of Pittsburgh’s Graduate School of Public and International Affairs (GSPIA).

| 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM | Special Event: Water: The Global Challenge of Our Future
Can a world with exponential population growth and an insatiable demand for water be sustainable? The water crisis consumes more lives yearly than all the wars and AIDS-related deaths combined, yet it isn’t well-publicized. With water scarcity starting to affect the developed world as well as its continued disproportionate impact on developing countries, how do we, as a global community, address this challenge for our collective future?
The Melody for Dialogue Among Civilizations Association, in conjunction with the Center for Global Affairs, will spend a day examining the implications of this under-reported crisis as part of its global series of conferences. Join keynote speakers Forest Whitaker and Alexandra Cousteau for a series of panels and debates featuring academics, members of the private sector, government, the UN system and civil society to not only discuss the crisis, but also explore what can be done about it.
The Center for Global Affairs at NYU-SCPS is proud to be a member of the UN Academic Impact, a global initiative that aligns institutions of higher education with the United Nations in actively supporting 10 universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, literacy, sustainability and conflict resolution.

Books are available for sale following the event.
David Rothkoph - Power, Inc.: The Epic Rivalry Between Big Business and Government - and the Reckoning that Lies Ahead
Power, Inc. examines how we have reached a point where thousands of companies have greater power than all but a handful of states. David Rothkopf traces the jockeying for influence right up to today’s financial crises and resulting battles over the proper role of government and markets. He argues that these recent developments, coupled with the rise of powers like China and India, may not lead to the triumph of American capitalism that was celebrated just a few years ago. Instead, he considers an unexpected scenario, a contest among competing capitalisms offering different visions for how the world should work, a global ideological struggle in which European and Asian models may have advantages.
