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. | ||

Iraqis who aid Coalition Forces are frequently ostracized by their respective communities and targeted for political assassination. As a result, many have sought asylum in countries neighboring Iraq, which often lack adequate infrastructure and resources to accept and assist refugees. With nowhere to turn that is close to home, what other options exist for these refugees? Could this be considered a refugee crisis? How have the United States and other members of the Multi-National Force Iraq responded to the plight of these individuals? What additional challenges do these people face when seeking asylum in the United States? To discuss these questions and more, please join Kirk Johnson, Founder and Director of the List Project. | ||
