SUMMARY:Options & Challenges for East European Energy Security in a Post-Fact World - a talk by Robin S. Brooks\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:What if\, instead of posturing in Cold War terms about eliminating their “energy dependence” on Russia\, European governments could make interest- and facts-based decisions on key economic issues after transparent public debate? This talk tells the tangled tale of how Bulgaria\, Russia\, and the U.S.\, played each other over a series of unfulfilled energy deals to the detriment of all\, and without increasing Bulgaria’s or Europe’s energy capacity\, decreasing costs to consumers\, or generating meaningful revenue for either states or private companies. The deals\, however\, revealed the extent to which non-fact-based decision making can harm key national interests\, deteriorate the rule of law\, contribute to a crisis of public trust\, and threaten international security. \nSpeaker Bio: Robin S Brooks\, Ph.D.\, researched this paper while she was the Davis Fellow at the Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) in 2015-16. A Foreign Service Officer since 2004\, she has served in Moscow\, Sofia\, Ankara\, at the U.S. mission to the OSCE\, and in several positions in Washington\, DC. In addition to SIPA\, Dr. Brooks has also taught Political Science and International Relations at New Bulgarian University\, Sofia University\, and the University of California\, Berkeley. (This presentation does not reflect the views of those institutions or of the U.S. government.) \n\nSponsored by the UF Center for European Studies\, UF International Center\, UF International Studies Program and UF Learning Without Borders. \n\nThe Global Challenges Speaker Series is designed to expose students to challenges impacting our global communities.

SUMMARY:Brexit & Migration: Challenges for Europe - A Lunchtime Symposium with Horstpeter Kreppel\, Retired European Court of Justice Judge
DESCRIPTION:In the coming months\, post-Brexit exasperation with the political and business establishment over a multitude of grievances from inequality to immigration will likely shape votes in Italy\, Austria\, the Netherlands\, France and Germany\, with the outcome increasingly hard to predict.  Issues of economy\, trade\, security\, and foreign and climate policy are at stake\, to name a few.   How have the cultural and economic impacts of migration affected this trend?  What does the future hold for the EU post-Brexit? \nBorn in Augsburg\, Germany\, Horstpeter Kreppel spent a year of high school as an AFS student in the United States.  Returning home\, he finished the gymnasium and attended law school in Berlin\, Munich\, and Frankfurt en route to becoming a judge in the labor courts of West Germany. From the 1990s he served two terms with the Legal Service of the Commission of the European Communities in Brussels\, interrupted by an appointment as Social Affairs Attaché at the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Madrid.  Then in 2005 Kreppel was named to the newly created third section of the European Court of Justice\,  the Civil Service Tribunal\, located in Luxembourg.  He served there eleven years\, six of them as president of the multinational chamber\, retiring only last year to take up residence in Berlin.

SUMMARY:Liberté\, Egalité\, Securité: The 2017 French Presidential Election in Historical\, Institutional and Culture Context: A Panel
DESCRIPTION:On April 6\, 2017\, three observers of the French presidential election will help shed light on this immensely complicated and critical subject. Dr. Heloise Seailles\, professor of French in the UF Department of Languages\, Literatures\, and Cultures\, will discuss the role of corruption in the campaign. Dr. Zachary Selden of the UF Department of Political Science will discuss the election vis-à-vis European security\, NATO\, and the transatlantic relationship between France and the United States. Dr. Richard Conley\, also of the UF Department of Political Science\, will discuss the domestic\, social\, economic\, and political context of the election. Afterwards\, there will be a Q&A session open to the public. \n\n\n\n\nWhen: Thursday\, April 6th\, 2017 from 5.00pm to 6.30pm\nWhere: Anderson Hall 216 – Political Science Conference Room \n\nThe 2017 French Presidential Election\n\n\n\nThe campaign to become France’s next president has been filled with unexpected twists and turns\, with the field of candidates looking nothing like most electoral observers initially predicted. \nWhat has happened so far?\n0n December 1\, 2016\, incumbent president François Hollande\, acknowledging his profound lack of popularity (one poll placed his approval rating at 4 percent)\, declared that he would not seek a second term; the first time in the history of the Fifth Republic that the incumbent president has not run for reelection. \nParti Socialiste\nBattered by a series of horrific terrorist attacks\, a stagnant economy\, and a hugely unpopular attempt to reform France’s strict labor code\, Hollande’s Socialist Party was widely expected to do poorly in the 2017 elections. \nManuel Valls\, Hollande’s Prime Minister\, promptly resigned from office to run as a candidate for president in the Socialist primary\, but he too was tarnished the perception of being a member of the establishment\, and he was defeated by the left-wing candidate Benoît Hamon. \nLes Républicains\nWidely expected to do well in the election\, Les Républicains\, the center-right party of former president Nicholas Sarkozy\, have also defied the expectations of most observers. Sarkozy again ran to become his party’s nominee; his perceived opponent was Alain Juppé\, former French prime minister and career politician. However\, in November 2016\, Sarkozy did not even make the runoff primary election\, and the ultimate victor was François Fillon\, a socially and fiscally conservative former prime minister. \nFillon is further to the right of Sarkozy and Juppé\, and likely capitalized on right-wing tendencies sweeping much of Europe; opinion polls immediately proclaimed him one of the front-runners. However\, in January 2017\, Le Canard enchaîné published an article claiming that Fillon had placed his wife\, Penelope\, on his payroll as his parliamentary assistant\, paying her over 800\,000 euros over fifteen years. It is legal to hire family members in France; however\, it was alleged that Penelope’s job was a fictitious one\, and that she had never showed up to work or performed any functions whatsoever. The newspaper later claimed that Fillon had done the same with two of his adult children; he claimed that he had hired them in their capacities as lawyers\, but neither were licensed to practice law at that time. \nIn March 2017\, Fillon was formally charged in an embezzlement investigation\, but he refuses to step down from the ticket. Needless to say\, his popularity has plummeted. \nThis implosion of France’s most mainstream political parties has opened the door to two outsiders. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFront National & Marine Le Pen\nMany are familiar with Marine Le Pen\, the head of the far-right National Front\, a populist\, anti-European Union party whose anti-Muslim and nationalistic rhetoric has been both condemned and embraced. Le Pen\, despite a corruption scandal of her own\, is widely considered to be one of the candidates who will move on to the second round of elections\, where\, some hope\, supporters of the center-right\, center-left\, and far-left will all come together to block her. \nEn Marche! & Emmanuel Macron\nLess well known is the man now considered to be the frontrunner in joining her in the run-off: Emmanuel Macron\, a former investment banker and the Minister of Economy\, Industry\, and Digital Affairs from 2014 to 2016. Despite serving in a Socialist government\, Macron is not a Socialist\, and is running under the banner of a party he founded\, known as En Marche! Macron is positioning himself as the centrist alternative to the leftist Hamon\, the conservative Fillon\, and the far-right Le Pen; he is a staunch defender of the European Union\, of free markets and free trade\, and of an open-door policy toward immigrants and refugees. Macron is now widely expected to face Le Pen in the runoff. \nAttend the Panel on April 6th at 5pm to Hear Expert Opinion on What Will Happen Next!

SUMMARY:Plants\, People\, the Mountains and the Sea: Ethnobotanical investigations in Adjara\, Georgia - A CES Lunchtime Symposium with Richard Tate\, UF Ph.D. Student in Interdisciplinary Ecology
DESCRIPTION:This multi-faceted ethnobotanical research project examines contemporary plant use patterns in the Autonomous Republic of Adjara\, a region in southwestern Georgia. Adjara’s complex history and rich flora has woven an intricate tapestry of biological and cultural influences.  Ethnobotany\, a field aptly described as a crossroads of botany and anthropology\, draws from an interdisciplinary methodological toolbox that makes it especially suited to examining the complex interactions of humans and the environment. This approach has unique potential in the South Caucasus\, an area that boasts an amazing wealth of sociolinguistic groups\, unique biota\, and a vibrant tradition of wild plant use. This presentation will offer preliminary findings and perspectives gathered from dozens of interviews with local peoples. In exploring the ethnobotanical knowledge of Adjara\, we will touch upon topics as varied as conservation\, religious identity\, economics\, and linguistics. \nRichard Tate is a Ph.D. student in Interdisciplinary Ecology in the UF School of Natural Resources and Environment \nThis research supported by the American Research Institute of the South Caucasus (ARISC) and UF’s Center for European Studies.

SUMMARY:Film 5 in the Refugees in Film Series: On the Bride's Side
DESCRIPTION:About the Film\nA Palestinian poet and an Italian journalist meet five Palestinians and Syrians in Milan who entered Europe via the Italian island of Lampedusa after fleeing the war in Syria. They decide to help them complete their journey to Sweden – and hopefully avoid getting themselves arrested as traffickers – by faking a wedding. With a Palestinian friend dressed up as the bride and a dozen or so Italian and Syrian friends as wedding guests\, they cross halfway over Europe on a four-day journey of three thousand kilometres. This emotionally charged journey not only brings out the stories and hopes and dreams of the five Palestinians and Syrians and their rather special traffickers\, but also reveals an unknown side of Europe – a transnational\, supportive and irreverent Europe that ridicules the laws and restrictions of the Fortress in a kind of masquerade which is no other than the direct filming of something that really took place on the road from Milan to Stockholm from the 14th to the 18th of November 2013.
