Women’s Education: Moving from Utility to Intellectual Freedom Influence Operations and Russia’s Vision of the Future
Global Fellow Sola Mahfouz challenges the dominant educational framework that sees women’s education as key to national economic development and social progress. Instead, she advocates for education as a pathway to individual and, eventually, societal change. Russia is using influence operations to ensure that its war with Ukraine will end in Russia’s favor. Washington Post international investigative reporter Catherine Belton joins Jill Dougherty to discuss the crucial role of influence operations in Russia’s military aggression, common Russian disinformation talking points, and Russia’s strategic operations in the US and around the world.

US Taiwan Policy: It's Complicated! Human Rights Under Siege
In this episode, host John Milewski discusses US policy on Taiwan with Wilson Center Indo-Pacific Program Director, Shihoko Goto. They explore the complexities and nuances of maintaining strong ties to an important US trade partner, while acknowledging the "one China principle." They also discuss China's efforts to increase its own economic ties to Taiwan and the risk-reward factors related to Chinese investment, and more. Since the creation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 75 years ago, there has been an effort to establish a new order founded on fundamental human rights. This period, mostly spearheaded by the United States, has resulted in a body of international laws that have promoted and protected human rights. However, the past two decades have brought a dramatic geopolitical shift that has resulted in a retreat of US leadership in global human rights advocacy. This new report by Nader Nadery and the Indo Pacific Program offers sharp analysis and concrete recommendations.
