⚡WOMEN, PEACE, SECURITY (WPS): Perspectives from the Director ⚡ 🗨️"Foundational to all of our programs at the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies are common values. Those values of democracy and freedom and good governance and rule of law peace and security conflict prevention and resolution as well as human rights. If 50 percent of a nation's society is ignored, how can you progress from autocracy to democracy on that scale if there's no inclusion, if women aren't truly empowered?" 🔍#GCMC Director, retired U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Barre Seguin posed this question during an interview while attending the Naval War College (NWC) for its annual Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) Conference on May 2-3, 2024, in Newport, Rhode Island. The theme for the 10th iteration of their NWC WPS conference was, "Advancing Gendered Security in a Complex World: Hard Power, Smart Power, Soft Power." ➡️Overall, the gathering aimed to foster a shared understanding of the complex and dynamic global security environment through examination of women’s influence and experience as stakeholders and catalysts of change alongside men. GCMC aims to integrate WPS across the board in all of our programs, and the lessons learned from the various experts that have already incorporated WPS in their respective curricula at their respective institutions will serve as a template for GCMC's action. One of these experts was Professor of International Affairs, Dr. Valerie Hudson from The Bush School of Government & Public Service. 🗨️"I get back to the quote that that Dr Valerie Hudson said, 'if you get one thing out of this, I want you to remember that what you do to your women you do to your nation,'" said Director Seguin. "The insight and ideas that she gave us will really help to enrich our [WPS] incorporation into our programs as we go forward."

🌍 Today, the European Commission published a White Paper on export controls, in which it analyses the current state of play in light of the recent developments (amongst others Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, but also the national export controls adopted by various Member States, including the Netherlands) and makes a number of proposals to address the current challenges. One of the proposals is to bring forward the timing of the evaluation of the EU Dual-use Regulation. Interesting read! The White Paper can be downloaded via the following link: https://lnkd.in/gSywHRGu

President and C.E.O. at Little's Executive Business Consulting with expertise in New Business Development.
I’m not being a hater. Let’s have a serious discussion: Why does any Institution of Higher Education feel that having alums who are delegates to a Political Convention is newsworthy? THERE IS NO PURPOSE! That university is trying to engage in DEMOCRAT PARTY GOTV efforts. Their federal funding should be CUT! There are probably 50 Carolina alums who are delegates. A&T has several delegates and you don’t see their University promoting such a common occurrence. I encourage the Administration at NCCU to stay out of politics and focus on fundraising (which last I read, was quite pathetic). Get some of your alums to stop buying BMWs and give you $100 and perhaps we wouldn’t have to utilize so much of our tax dollars on landscaping over in Durham. Black Institutions must stop playing SMALL BALL. This type of BUSHLEAGUE activity is why Blacks as myself, who took Honors and AP courses and excelled DO NOT EVEN APPLY TO THESE SCHOOLS. #GlorifiedHighSchoolers #PoliticallyCHEAPpeople 🤦

In 2008, today, when the Rus invaded my country for the third time in 30 years, life for the eternally morally righteous west, went on as usual. Ofcourse, why would it not. For the intellectually challenged, the expectation of “help” is based upon the crusade against “enemies of democracy” the west has declared, nothing else. Secondly, the “help”, was never actually help, it was a provocation in disguise. So now, the same cold blooded logic applies when my nation has regained the tool called a state. The law concerning the transparency of foreign influence - the law to destroy foreign agents in public sector - is a testament to this. As for my fellow, confused citizens who think that their rights (which come with responsibilities too) have been compromised, a tool called the state, ensures a honourable life for the citizens. State monopoly on violence (a guy called max talked a lot about it), in turn, is safeguarding private property and rule of law in general. These are the fundamental principles to ensure the common prosperity. Life in Georgia is good, it will only get better through stability and peace !!!!!

Western democracies are broken. Time to reform the Federation and its archaic Westminster systems, to create a modern, professional Executive Government that's more strongly accountable to a balanced, broadly representative Senate, along with better governance for delivering more efficient & effective public services. Then we can have a new, uniting Australia Day & flag, for a new Federation, new Republic, and A New Hope! https://lnkd.in/gu4UsJM (http://davidthorp. net/australia)
