On Tuesday, September 10, from 5:30 – 7:00 pm, the Strauss Center for International Security and Law will join the Clements Center for National Security in hosting Robert D. Kaplan. Not since the end of the Cold War has the world faced such danger. War rages in Europe and the Middle East. The U.S. and a rising China face off across the Taiwan Strait. American policy has struggled to deter or manage these conflicts and struggles to grasp the tumultuous internal dynamics of societies in the Mideast and “Global South.”

On September 10, Robert D. Kaplan, bestselling author of twenty-three books on foreign policy, will discuss how our leaders can come to grips with a world seemingly in disarray. Kaplan’s most recent book, The Loom of Time, examines the history and geopolitics of the vast region between the Mediterranean and China, encompassing much of the Arab world, parts of northern Africa, and Asia. With the dissolution of empires in the twentieth century, postcolonial states have endeavored to maintain stability in the face of power struggles and arbitrary borders drawn by departing imperial rulers. In The Loom of Time, Kaplan makes the case for historically informed foreign-policy as an approach to the Greater Middle East.

Light refreshments will be provided. Paid visitor parking is available at the Manor Garage, Brazos Garage, and the San Jacinto Garage. Email Susan Crane at scrane@austin.utexas.edu with questions.

Biography: Robert D. Kaplan is the bestselling author of twenty-two books on foreign affairs and travel translated into many languages, including The Loom of Time, The Tragic Mind, Adriatic, The Good American, The Coming Anarchy, Balkan Ghosts, Asia’s Cauldron, and The Revenge of Geography. He holds the Robert Strausz-Hupé Chair in Geopolitics at the Foreign Policy Research Institute. For three decades he reported on foreign affairs for The Atlantic.

A senior adviser at Eurasia Group, he was chief geopolitical analyst at Stratfor, a visiting professor at the United States Naval Academy, a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security, and a member of both the Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board and the U. S. Navy’s Executive Panel. Foreign Policy magazine twice named him one of the world’s “Top 100 Global Thinkers.”

New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman has called Kaplan among the four “most widely read” authors defining the post-Cold War (along with Stanford Professor Francis Fukuyama, Yale Professor Paul Kennedy, and the late Harvard Professor Samuel Huntington). Kaplan’s article, “The Coming Anarchy,” published in the February, 1994 Atlantic Monthly, about how population rise, ethnic and sectarian strife, disease, urbanization, and resource depletion is undermining the political fabric of the planet, was hotly debated in foreign-language translations around the world. So was his December, 1997 Atlantic cover story, “Was Democracy Just A Moment?” That piece argued that the democracy now spreading around the world would not necessarily lead to more stability. According to U. S. News & World Report, “President Clinton was so impressed with Kaplan, he ordered an interagency study of these issues, and it agreed with Kaplan’s conclusions.”

In the 1980s, Kaplan was the first American writer to warn in print about a future war in the Balkans. Balkan Ghosts was chosen by The New York Times Book Review as one of t

This event is part of the Justice Center initiative designed to support students whose lived experiences intersect with the legal systems they aspire to challenge in their careers. For example, students who have themselves or had family members become entangled in the criminal legal system and are interested in public defense work; immigrant students or students who are the children or family members of immigrants seeking to challenge the immigration system; and low-income students seeking to challenge laws and policies that further marginalize poor people, such as predatory lending, cash bail, etc.

EPI gatherings serve as a space for dialogue, mentorship, and resource-sharing tailored to the needs and strengths of students whose work as public interest law students and future attorneys may directly relate to their own lived experiences or those of their loved ones.

Please RSVP by noon on Friday, September 13th: https://utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5A15NALbEAOfqhU

This speaker series considers the criminalization of reproduction—historical and contemporary, local and global—largely through the lens of reproductive justice.

RSVP

Abstract: People with disabilities face structural, legal, and institutional barriers to accessing reproductive health services and information, including contraception and abortion care. They also experience high rates of violence and reproductive coercion, as well as stigma and discrimination from health providers. They are more likely to experience maternal morbidity and mortality, rendering pregnancy particularly dangerous for some. Mounting abortion restrictions after Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization will result in some disabled people being forced to carry pregnancies to term, notwithstanding serious health risks. Should they choose to raise their children after childbirth, they will likely encounter ongoing threats to their parental rights because of laws, policies, and practices that assume incompetence among disabled parents. Thus, the ruling creates a paradox for disabled people where they may be forced to bear children but subsequently denied the opportunity to rear them, perpetuating a historical pattern of exploitation and subjugation. This paper identifies and responds to this paradox by providing and applying a disability reproductive justice framework.

Robyn Powell is Professor of Law at Stetson University. Her work examines the intersection of disability justice and reproductive justice, with a focus on disability law and policy, health law and policy, and family law. She is a leading authority on the rights of parents with disabilities and has served as an Attorney-Advisor at the National Council on Disability. Her forthcoming publications include “Disabling Abortion Bans” (UC Davis Law Review) and “Forced to Bear, Denied to Rear: The Cruelty of Dobbs for Disabled People” (Georgetown Law Journal). She received a Ph.D. and M.A. in Social Policy from Brandeis University, a J.D. from Suffolk University Law School, and a B.S. in Social Work from Bridgewater State University.

Learn about the landscape of abortion law in Texas. After Dobbs, abortion jurisprudence has become confusing and chaotic. Hopefully, our presentation can reduce that confusion by educating you on what you are entitled to in this fast-changing legal regime. This knowledge can also help you advocate for you and your loved ones. Knowledge is power, so it is important that everyone is aware of what their rights are. Lunch will be served. :)
