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.

Speaker: Dr. Tae Keung Ha, President, Open Radio for North Korea
Hosted by: The Embassy of the Republic of Korea
Location: KORUS House – 2370 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20008
RSVP/info: Adam Wojciechowicz, awoj@koreaembassy.org, (202) 587-6168

Description:
As new shipments of international food aid arrive in North Korea, personal accounts that emerge from the country continue to paint varying pictures of a food shortage: some claim that without immediate, effective food distribution, hundreds of thousands of deaths are imminent in certain areas, while others assert that the problem does not reach epidemic levels, and that starvation is not a leading cause of death. With many such testimonies as evidence, two opposing camps now debate whether North Korea once again faces mass starvation or not, and what foreign aid policy should follow. Dr. Tae Keung Ha will discuss the ongoing efforts to arrive at a consensus, how the information gap can be narrowed, and how this knowledge can best inform the aid policies of donors, including the United States and South Korea—where aid, incentives, and the Sunshine policy of the past remain important political and ethical issues. How effective has food aid been when confronting such a controlling regime, and what hope is there for future success?

"Australian Perspectives on China and Northeast Asian Security"

East-West Center Asian Security Luncheon Seminar

* This event is free and open to the public *

Asian Security Luncheon Seminar, Co-Sponsored with the Australian National University and CNA
Where: The East-West Center in Washington, 1819 L St. NW, 2nd Floor Conference Room
When: July 18, 2008, 12:30-2:30 PM

As a key stakeholder in the Asia-Pacific region, Australia's future is inextricably linked to its neighbors'. To live peacefully within its geostrategic environment, Australia must understand and engage with Asia's increased profile in the international community—especially the rise of China—in shaping global forces and outcomes. How can Australia cultivate a model of middle power diplomacy that promotes peace and prosperity in the region, particularly in Northeast Asia? How is Australia confronting its relationship with China, and what are the implications for the U.S.-Australia alliance? This seminar seeks to answer these questions with insights from one of Australia's most senior and respected Northeast Asia analysts, Dr. Richard Rigby. It will also feature commentary from Dr. David Finkelstein, Vice President and Director of China Studies at CNA, as well as a delegation of leading China experts from The Australian National University.

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.
