The Politics of Truth, Justice, and Reconciliation: A Comparative Study on Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Uruguay
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.
Pre-registration is required.

| 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).
Pre-registration is required.
