In just a few weeks, YPFP will be participating in this summer's CSIS-AILA Debates. These debates aim to provide a fun yet challenging forum for improving the communication skills of young professionals. In each debate, two teams of two face off in a 10 minutes debate on a random topic, with no prior research or special preparation required. YPFP has the opportunity to send six members to this event. To select the best teams (and maintain YPFP's long-held reputation of debate dominance), we will hold an internal YPFP competition. The top 3 teams in this preliminary competition will return to CSIS on Wednesday, July 23 to defend the YPFP title. You will need to participate in the July 16 debates in order to compete on July 23. | ||

Singapore has long been an ally of the United States, supporting political and economic stability in a region which is increasingly important to U.S. interests. As a leading member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, which is housed in Singapore, Singapore also plays an active role in Southeast Asian regional organizations. What are the important trends in Southeast Asia? How do regional bodies such as ASEAN and APEC shape the political and economic order? How has the United States fit into this order and the past, and what role will it play in the future? To address these issues and more, please join Chan Heng Chee, Singaporean Ambassador to the United States. | ||

The rise of East Asia has caused massive changes in the global economy. As trade flows have increased, the prices of consumer goods around the world have dropped. But this flood of trade has also caused challenges, straining regulatory frameworks in the United States, and sometimes allowed unsafe goods to enter U.S. markets. How should the United States manage and monitor the vastly increased trade with East Asia? In the face of rising protectionist sentiment, how should the United States define its economic interests in the region? To address these issues and more, please join Karan Bhatia, Vice President and Senior Counsel for International Law and Policy at General Electric and Deputy U.S. Trade Representative from 2005 until 2008. | ||
