As you may know, YPFP sent three teams to the CSIS-AILA Debates last month, and one of our teams claimed the Gold! YPFP would like to continue developing its members' debating skill sets, so we've scheduled an informal Speed Debates Practice Session on Thursday, August 21st, from 6-8PM at 1800 K Street, NW. Separately, we are creating a database of YPFP members who would be interested in debates of different sizes and formats moving forward. If you are interested in participating in the August 21st debates, and/or would like to be on our new debates listserve, please e-mail Ryan Miller, YPFP's Debates Coordinator, at ryan.miller@ypfp.org with your name and affiliation. In addition to debaters, we also need individuals who would be interested in judging this Thursday. | ||

Georgian relations with Russia have been tense over the years, particularly with Moscow's support for breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Events boiled over in July 2008, leading to open hostilities between the two countries. Rapid Russian recognition of South Ossetian and Abkhaz independence, coupled with military support for the separatists, strained European relations with Russia and have left the United States and NATO struggling to find an appropriate response. What strategic goals underpinned Russian use of force in Georgia? How will this affect stability in the Caucasus and Black Sea regions? Will the incursion impact the NATO membership bids of Ukraine, Georgia, and other countries? How should the United States and NATO respond? To discuss these issues and more, please join Stephen Flanagan, Senior Vice President and Director of the International Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. | ||
