Increasingly, international organisations and other donors are supporting developing country governments in their effort to address complex governance challenges. While improved governance is sometimes perceived to be an end in itself (e.g. SDG 16: Peace, justice and strong institutions), it is often justified as ultimately helping improve service delivery. This panel will draw on a wealth of experience in Africa, Latin America and South Asia to address issues such as: Which governance challenges should be addressed first? Have governance reforms been successful in improving service delivery? Is citizen engagement critical? Can governments take advantage of big data to safely improve feedback loops?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas have not reached a deal, nor does this seem to be likely in the near future.

In what some call the post-Oslo era, can this conflict be resolved without US intervention? Does the current administration’s neglect of new measures to continue propagating “land for peace” unveil the US’s future role? What is the best solution to this conflict?

This program, hosted by NYU Washington, DC, features a discussion between Speaker of the Fifteenth Knesset and NYU AD Visiting Professor, Avrum Burg, and President and Co-Founder of the Arab American Institute and NYU Visiting Scholar, James Zogby, who will delve into some of the conflict’s issues surrounding border settlements and security, refugees, and the p...

As the Democratic Party organizes its leadership, the centrist vs progressive divisions remain.

This issue is further amplified by Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren likely being strong contenders for the Democratic nomination in 2020.

With so many newly elected Democrats in Congress, how and when will the party begin transitioning to a more youthful leadership? WIll the age issue be a factor in energizing the youth vote? Is there still a Clinton-Sanders divide in the party?

How will the Republican Party seek to attract more college educated women, or will they double down on recreating President’s Trump’s successful 2016 coalition?

The panel examines what having more women in elected office will mean for governance. Will having more women leaders help make a dent in the hyper-partisanship that we have seen in recent years?

How has social media changed the journalism profession and what can traditional media outlets do to maintain influence?

The panel also explores the concept of “fake news,” manipulation of information, and the role of the media as watchdog.

Description: In 2010, WikiLeaks, a non-profit organization that publishes submissions from anonymous whistleblowers, in a partnership with some of the most important news publications, began releasing thousands of classified diplomatic cables sent between the U.S. State Department and consulates and embassies around the world.

Chemaly details how women have been told for so long to bottle up their anger, letting it corrode their bodies and minds in ways they don’t even realize.
