Why State Ownership Matters for Resource Governance [[link removed]]Wednesday October 16 // 10:00–11:00 am (ET)
In his new book, Business of the State: Why State Ownership Matters for Resource Governance, Dr. Jojo Nem Singh explores what effective growth strategies might look like for these states, shifting away from extractivism as a growth model and instead harnessing the development potential of their resources amid strategic competition. Drawing from the experiences of Brazil's Petrobras and Chile's Codelco, the book shares how state-owned enterprises (SOEs)—if paired with governance reforms and aligned with the private sector—could open new pathways for development.

Disrupting Russia’s Artillery Supply Chain [[link removed]]Friday, October 18 // 10:00 –11:00 am (ET)
Join us for a discussion of a new report that breaks down the end to end supply chains supporting Russia's artillery, from the sourcing of raw materials and machine tooling, to the manufacture of guns and ammunition, its storage, and transportation. The report identifies a number of areas where targeted disruption could have a tangible impact on Russia's artillery and help redress the imbalance between Russia and Ukraine. At this event the authors will detail the key findings and offer policy recommendations. The findings may be directly focused on artillery, but the approach presented has applicability to other adversary capabilities and indeed to other adversaries and competitors, from Iran to China.
