| Is There Still an Israeli Constituency for Peace?

Prospects for Peace, The Century Foundation
- 7/20/2010

Talk of peace negotiations loomed large in the July 6 meeting between President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, but there is little sign that Israelis seriously expect much to materialize. Since the start of the “second intifada” nearly ten years ago, the Israeli public has by most accounts become skeptical about the prospects for a durable peace with the Palestinians and resigned to isolation under nationalist rule rather than trust in internationally promoted accords. With the body blows the peace movement has suffered in Israeli politics this past decade, many ask: Is there still a constituency for peace in the Israeli public? Can it ever gain traction again?

The Century Foundation Public Policy Lunch for NYC interns held an event to discuss the growth of green industries during the ongoing economic recession. The United States faces the challenges of both the ongoing economic recession and environmental degradation. One potential path to recovery is the growth of green industries. But while green jobs have the potential to transform the American economy, can green industries grow in a way that is both inclusive and profitable? On July 13, the 2010 Public Policy Lunch Series Forum hosted an event with noted panelists. Read the invite.

| Are Efforts to Increase Equity in Higher Education Working?
|
|
The Century Foundation
- 6/17/2010

|

Over the last several years, new policies have been enacted to make higher education more equitable. Roughly 100 colleges and universities have reached out to lower and moderate-income students with more generous financial aid packages. Likewise, the Obama Administration has recently boosted funding for Pell Grants and community colleges. But is stratification increasing or decreasing in higher education? Moreover, with a new legal challenge to racial preferences at the University of Texas possibly headed to the Supreme Court, what is the future of affirmative action and what alternative forms may it take in coming years?

| Falling out with Turkey: A Post-Gaza Realignment?
|
|
- 6/17/2010
|
|
|
The Israelis’ Memorial Day assault on a Turkish ship headed for Gaza has opened a yawning gap between two non-Arab countries that were long allied in the Middle East. It has further complicated America’s own relations with its NATO anchor in the eastern Mediterranean, already strained over Iran and its nuclear program. Many commentators have begun discussing a shift in Turkey’s relationship to both its neighbors and to the West, especially the United States. Century Foundation Senior Fellow Morton Abramowitz, former Ambassador to Turkey, discusses Ankara’s vision for its role in the Middle East, the future of the Israeli-Turkish and American-Turkish relationships, and the prospects for further involvement in Central Asia and Afghanistan.

| After The Gaza Blockade: Can Palestine’s Economy Be Viable?
|
|
The Century Foundation & The Aix Group

The Gaza flotilla debacle has refocused world attention on the economic strangulation of at least that shard of Palestine while overshadowing the Obama administration’s persistent effort to restart negotiations to produce a comprehensive peace settlement. Yet Gaza’s current immiseration underscores the larger questions of ensuring Palestinian economic viability and sovereignty when that settlement is achieved. Can the West Bank economy carry its own weight with independence, much less Gaza’s?
The Aix Group, a joint Palestinian-Israeli international economic research project, has been working on the economic underpinnings of a two-state political solution for Israel and Palestine. On Monday, 14 June 2010, two Aix Group principals, Ron Pundak, who is director-general of the Peres Center for Peace in Tel Aviv, and Saeb Bamya, the Group’s Palestinian coordinator and former assistant under secretary for the Palestinian National Economy Ministry, led a luncheon discussion to cover these topics.

In February 2010, the insideIRAN.org project at the Century Foundation and the National Security Network convened the first meeting of what will be a 12- to 18-month advisory group, bringing together Iranian activists with close ties to Iran’s Green Movement with European and American current and retired officials and diplomats. The group aims to improve understanding of the political crisis inside Iran, particularly the state of the regime and the opposition, and focus attention on policy steps that will be most effective in helping Iranians reform the political system without empowering the regime against either its own people or other nations.

| Springtime for Disarmament: How Wide a Window for Nuclear Rollback?

President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitri A. Medvedev resolved the last sticking points in their arms control negotiations and announced their intention to sign early next month a new treaty reducing American and Russian nuclear arsenals. The treaty announcement initiates a rapid succession of developments on the nuclear arms front: NATO's reassessment of nuclear weapons' role in alliance strategic doctrine; a U.S. nuclear posture review that will presumably reflect Obama's Prague commitments; a summit on nuclear weapons issues that Obama will host in April; Security Council consideration of measures to rein in Iran's nuclear program; and the nuclear nonproliferation treaty (NPT) review conference in May.

With Iraqis having headed for the polling stations on March 7th, the Obama administration is looking to accelerate the drawdown of U.S. combat forces from Iraq. The U.S. withdrawal will coincide with a major reorientation of U.S.-Iraqi bilateral relations. To look at this important step, The Century Foundation organized two panel discussions—one in Washington, D.C. and one in New York City—to analyze where the U.S.-Iraqi bilateral relationship goes from here.
