Books are available for sale following the event. [6] scps.nyu.edu/cga TRITA PARSI—A SINGLE ROLL OF THE James F. Hoge, Jr. DICE: OBAMA’S DIPLOMACY WITH IRAN Monday, February 27, 6.30–7.45 p.m. Have the diplomatic efforts of the Obama administration toward Iran failed? Was the Bush administration’s emphasis on military intervention, refusal to negotiate, and pursuit of regime change a better approach? How can the U.S. best address the ongoing turmoil in Tehran? Through interviews with 70 high-ranking officials from the U.S., Iran, Europe, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Brazil, Parsi uncovers the previously unknown story of negotiations during Obama’s early years as president, the calculations behind the two nations’ dealings, and the real reasons for their current stalemate. MICHAEL T. KLARE—THE RACE FOR WHAT’S LEFT: THE GLOBAL SCRAMBLE FOR THE WORLD’S LAST RESOURCES Tuesday, March 20, 6.30–7.45 p.m. The world is facing an unprecedented crisis of resource depletion encompassing shortages of coal and natural gas, copper and cobalt, water, and arable land. Michael T. Klare takes us from the Arctic to war zones to deep ocean floors, from a Russian submarine planting the country’s flag under the North Pole to the large-scale buying up of African farmland by Saudi Arabia and other nations. As he explains, this frenzy of extreme exploration and acquisition carries grave consequences including environmental risks, border disputes, and greater likelihood of military confrontation. DAVID ROTHKOPF—POWER, INC: THE EPIC RIVALRY BETWEEN BIG BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT-AND THE RECKONING THAT LIES AHEAD Tuesday, April 3, 6.30–7.45 p.m. 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.
