Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars Annual Report

woodrow wilson international center for scholars a year’s highlights annual report october 1, 2007 – september 30, 2008 Mission: The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, established by Congress in 1968 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., is the living, national memorial to President Wilson. The Center is a nonpartisan institution, supported by public and private funds, engaged in the study of national and world affairs. The Center establishes and maintains a neutral forum for free, open, and informed dialogue. The Center’s mission is to commemorate the ideals and concerns of Woodrow Wilson by providing a link between the world of ideas and the world of policy and by fostering research, study, discussion, and collaboration among a broad spectrum of individuals concerned with policy and scholarship in national and international affairs.

At the Woodrow Wilson Center, however, we are doing that and more, as this annual report amply demonstrates. As the Center enters its 41st year, it continues to innovate and grow. It has hosted awards dinners this past year in India and South Africa, recognizing leading figures in both countries’ business and political communities. These dinners enhance the Center’s already sterling reputation abroad, fostering a direct dialogue across borders that epitomizes the Center’s mission in the 21st century. And through a new partnership with FORA.tv, video of the Center’s best programming will be readily available to people around the world. In Washington, the new Kissinger Institute on China and the United States will direct programming to enhance understanding of one of the most important bilateral relationships in the world today. Ambassador J. Stapleton Roy, who represented the United States in Beijing in the 1990s and holds the U.S. Foreign Service rank of career ambassador, will direct the Institute, bringing decades of expertise to the Center. The Kissinger Institute is a perfect complement to the existing Kennan Institute, which studies Russia and the former Soviet Union, and we are proud to house two institutes honoring giants of American diplomacy. The Kissinger Institute will solidify the Center’s status as one of the premier venues for research on the most important public policy issues of the 21st century. The Wilson Center has always had an excellent relationship with Congress, and the new Wilson Center on the Hill program, launched in June, brings our programming directly to members of Congress and their staffers on Capitol Hill, raising the Center’s profile to even greater heights. Providing policymakers with insightful analysis of the issues confronting the country remains a driving force behind the Center’s work. We take this opportunity to recognize Sam Wells, whose service to the Wilson Center spans three decades. He arrived at the Center in 1977 as a Fellow and returned shortly thereafter to establish the International Security Studies Program, a field to which he contributed significantly with studies of American Cold War strategy. He also founded the Center’s European Studies Program and served as deputy director during the 1990s and associate director more recently. Sam will remain a Senior Scholar at the Center, and we look forward to continuing to learn from him. The bedrock of the Wilson Center remains its contributions to the world’s policy debates—all of which depend on the efforts of scholars like Sam. It is an impressive contribution to our country. In 40 years, more than 1,600 books have been written or edited at the Center; we host more than 800 meetings per year, and more than 150 scholars walk our hallways annually. It remains a privilege and pleasure to lead this institution, with its remarkably dedicated staff, and Board and Council members. Joseph B. Gildenhorn Chairman Lee H.

AARON DAVID MILLER (below) still believes America has an important role to play in resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict, but wrote in his latest book, “My earlier exuberance and optimism are now mixed with a large dose of humility and uncertainty.” His book, The Much Too Promised Land: America's Elusive Search for Arab-Israeli Peace, published by Random House in March 2008, was immediately received as a major contribution. A Washington Post reviewer, for example, wrote: “Memo to the next secretary of state: The next time you head off to Jerusalem, throw out some of those briefing papers to make room for this book in your briefcase.” In residence at the Center since January 2006, Miller, while completing the manuscript, maintained a heavy schedule of talks and moderated a series of panel discussions that brought high-level Israelis and Palestinians to the same table. One meeting he moderated in December 2007 featured a lively, sometimes contentious debate between the Israeli ambassador and the head of the PLO Mission to the United States. Miller said resolution ultimately requires the commitment and skill of the Israelis and Palestinians, while America should go about its diplomacy with its eyes wide open. “mediation is perceived as the ability to bargain and persuade.” — betty bigombe 7 a year’s highlights Ending Conflict in Northern Uganda When BETTY BIGOMBE (left) served as Uganda’s minister of state for pacification in the north and northeast in the early 1990s, she realized a military solution would not yield sustainable peace to the brutal civil war that had erupted. Her efforts did however lead to the 1993–94 peace talks, which became known as the Bigombe 1 Initiative. In 2005, she served as chief mediator between the Ugandan government and the insurgent Lord’s Resistance Army, and her contribution to peace and conflict resolution continues today. “Mediation is perceived as the ability to bargain and persuade,” said Bigombe. “Nobody is investing in educating people in the art and science of mediation. It’s not just highlevel diplomacy. It takes more [training] to be a mediator.” Bigombe spent much of 2008 as the Wilson Center’s Distinguished African Scholar, conducting research for her forthcoming book, Turning War into Peace: An Insider’s Story. Here, she focused on issues such as war profiteering and corruption, child soldiers, and the role of women in peacemaking. Through her work at the Center, Bigombe engaged with NGOs, students, and policymakers, bringing her practical expertise on these issues to an American audience. The Wilson Center Engaged with peacemaking, security, technology, humanities, health, and biography “we were distracted by iraq and didn’t allocate needed resources to realize opportunities and address threats…” — david sanger  a year’s highlights security Looking beyond Iraq Just before inauguration, a book hits the shelves detailing major national security challenges facing our next president. The Inheritance: The World America Now Faces, is the latest work by DAVID SANGER (far left), chief Washington correspondent at The New York Times. Sanger wrote much of the book while a Woodrow Wilson Center Public Policy Scholar in 2008. As the Times White House correspondent through most of the George W. Bush administration, Sanger was in a unique position to delineate the hot spots that will be on the next president’s radar, in addition to, and as a result of, the war in Iraq. “We were distracted by Iraq and didn’t allocate needed resources to realize opportunities and address threats,” he said. “But there are harder problems.” Among those harder problems are the case of Afghanistan, including why the U.S. military mistakenly believed the Taliban had permanently left; America’s loss of leverage in Iran; North Korea’s nuclear arsenal; and China’s growing military influence. In a world made more complex by the Iraq War, Sanger said, “this book is a field guide.” Pride, Humiliation, and China’s Foreign Policy China, though projecting a bold image to the world, exhibits a sense of insecurity in its internal communications, according to Woodrow Wilson Center Fellow WILLIAM A. CALLAHAN (left). “China’s national security is closely tied to its national insecurities,” he said. Callahan spent the year writing a book exploring the identity-security connection in China, namely how history, geography, and ethnicity shape China’s foreign policy outlook. One insecurity he noted dates back to the 19th century, when imperial boundaries were redrawn as Japan took Taiwan, and Russia took territories in the north and west. “China lost a large chunk of territory,” Callahan said. “The humiliation—and how to cleanse it—is an important point that shapes China’s nationalism and pride.” Similar damage comes from China’s 20th-century occupation by Japan and even the 1999 bombing of its Belgrade embassy by the United States. Callahan points to other components of identity, too—such as the continuing belief in a hierarchical world order, and traditional themes of harmony and unity—which contribute to China’s unique political culture. The Wilson Center Engaged with peacemaking, security, technology, humanities, health, and biography technology Patents and the Morals of Biotechnology Twenty years ago, the U.S. patent office deemed humans not patentable, but over the years it granted patents on stem cells and animal chimera (hybridizing two species). With advances in biotechnology—from human genes and embryos to genetically engineered animals and plants—economic and ethical considerations abound about patenting such innovation. But why are patent offices, which traditionally served a technical role, making such moral and political decisions on what is patentable? Woodrow Wilson Center Fellow SHOBITA PARTHASARATHY (below right), whose Center project compared the politics of patenting biotechnology in the United States and in Europe, said that the U.S. patent office is not designed to hear citizens’ arguments, but the Europeans have a mechanism allowing critics to challenge an invention before it receives a patent. Through her comparative study, Parthasarathy plans to offer recommendations so that patent offices can maintain their legitimacy and guarantee public trust. “We need civil debate among NGOs, governments, patient and environmental groups, and other interest groups,” she said. “Science should not be outside the bounds of critical discussion.” Tiny Science No Small Matter ANDREW MAYNARD (below far right) has become a celebrity in the science media. In May 2008 Maynard, the chief science adviser for the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies, co-authored a study in the prestigious journal Nature Nanotechnology that offered first-time scientific evidence that carbon nanotubes have the potential to cause health impacts in the lungs similarly to the carcinogen asbestos. Because this material is commonly used in nanotech consumer products, the cutting-edge research was featured in more than 1,000 news stories worldwide. As the use of nanotechnology increases—exploiting the novel properties that emerge when materials are manipulated at the scale of atoms and molecules—the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies continues to gauge public awareness, highlight oversight shortfalls, and inform business, government, and consumers to ensure that potential hazards are minimized. The Project also serves as a reference point for policymakers, particularly in the U.S. Congress where analyses and testimonies from the Project have informed major legislation. “we need civil debate among ngos, governments, patient and environmental groups, and other interest groups…” — shobita parthasarathy The Wilson Center Engaged with peacemaking, security, technology, humanities, health, and biography “the case program is a model of russian-american cooperation because both sides have been equal partners.” — blair ruble 13 a year’s highlights humanities Support for Scholarship in Russia A major program of the Kennan Institute to promote the humanities and social sciences in regional universities in Russia, begun in April 2000, is shifting emphases but will continue to shape Russian scholarship. The Centers for Advanced Study and Education (CASE) program has created centers at nine universities that have supported scholars, developed libraries, hosted conferences, and published reports. Most have become hubs for regional communities of scholars. Recently the host universities have received increased state funding, especially for research, as well as private donations, and can support some of the functions that were being fostered by the CASEs. The CASEs are turning their attention toward support of research by young scholars, promotion of interdisciplinary projects, and sponsorship of opportunities for international networking for Russian humanists and social scientists. The CASE program has been supported by the Carnegie Corporation, MacArthur Foundation, and the Russian Ministry of Education. “The CASE program is a model of Russian-American cooperation because both sides have been equal partners,” said Kennan Institute Director BLAIR RUBLE (below left). 20 Years of dialogue Radio and TV 2008 marked the 20th anniversary of the Center’s DIALOGUE interview show, heard on radio stations across the country and, since 2002, seen on television through MHz networks and several cable and satellite services. “Our job is to portray the role of the humanities in public policy, to connect the character and values of our guests to the ideas and policies they espouse,” said executive producer and host GEORGE LISTON SEAY (above). “We aim to give our listeners that human connection.” Seay has interviewed more than 900 guests, from presidents and historians to professors and poets. Today many viewers tune in online, where every episode is archived and easily searchable. And this year dialogue released two dozen memorable interviews in another format, a book titled The Art of Conversation, published by Woodrow Wilson Center Press. “our job is to portray the role of the humanities in public policy…” — george liston seay The Wilson Center Engaged with peacemaking, security, technology, humanities, health, and biography health China’s Environment As concerns over China’s food safety hit the news this year, many journalists turned to the Woodrow Wilson Center’s China Environment Forum for information. “We’ve long been studying food safety through an environmental lens, particularly water quality, high pesticide use, and soil contamination,” said the Forum’s director, JENNIFER TURNER (above left). “But this year, food safety concerns and the Olympics brought out the media.” The China Environment Forum held several high-level meetings, convening Chinese and U.S. government officials, corporate representatives, researchers, and policy experts to discuss food safety improvements. At one of these meetings, a Chinese delegation from China’s Center for Disease Control and the Ministry of Science and Technology, along with a food safety expert from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, discussed improving regulation. While online briefs offered updated information for interested media, a food safety report released by the Forum in August 2008 detailed China’s food regulatory and processing problems, from unsafe use of chemicals and pesticides to weak government oversight. Another concern, said Turner, is that “China’s food production processes pollute the environment, wreaking havoc on the country’s soil and water quality.” Challenging Aid Programs “Pakistan is poorer in human capital now, less stable, and worse off in terms of health monitoring and regulations than it was 20 years ago,” observes SAMIA ALTAF (above right). “Donor money is not achieving the expected results.” A physician who has taught medical students and managed large public health programs, Altaf has also consulted for donor agencies such as the World Bank. Criticizing the programs these agencies support is the focus of Altaf’s work as the Center’s Pakistan Scholar. The donor agencies and the Pakistan health system are for the most part staffed by people with good intentions, she finds. But the programs’ incentives misdirect their efforts. In one program Altaf analyzes, for example, Pakistani villagers get paid to be trained as health workers—but they will never have jobs as village health workers because neither the World Bank nor Pakistan’s health ministry funds their actual employment. Such faulty design permeates health programs at every level with regard to human resources, equipment, and supplies and is often compounded by corruption. Altaf hopes that her Wilson Center project will alert policymakers to the need to restructure aid programs. “Just pumping money in has not been effective in the long run.” 1 a year’s highlights “we’ve long been studying food safety through an environmental lens, particularly water quality, high pesticide use, and soil contamination.” — jennifer turner “pakistan is poorer in human capital now, less stable, and worse off in terms of health monitoring and regulations than it was 20 years ago.” — samia altaf The Wilson Center Engaged with peacemaking, security, technology, humanities, health, and biography biography A Proponent of Workers’ Health and Security While Americans debated the politics of health care options and the future of Social Security, a Woodrow Wilson Center Fellow was busy analyzing the achievements of a brazen lady who helped pioneer U.S. social welfare. Fellow ROBYN MUNCY (below, left) spent the year working on a biography of Josephine Roche, a progressive 20thcentury activist who dedicated her life to protecting labor unions and fighting for workers’ health and retirement benefits. “Roche was imbued with a spirit of confidence for making the world a better place, like her cohort of educated women,” said Muncy. Roche championed organized labor, particularly the rights of coal miners. Throughout her career, she improved work conditions, raised wages, and advocated for worker safety. Roche became the second-highest-ranking woman in government in 1934, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed her assistant secretary of the treasury. She later developed a pension plan and health system for the United Mine Workers, working tirelessly until she was 85. In the public and private sectors, Roche, who died in 1976, kept the progressive tradition alive. “roche was imbued with a spirit of confidence for making the world a better place, like her cohort of educated women.” — robyn muncy 17 a year’s highlights “by the end of the decade when she was litigating, she saw a thorough change in federal and state laws. not bad for ten years’ work.” — wendy williams An Advocate for Women’s Equality Even before becoming a justice of the Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg changed the face of American law, according to Public Policy Scholar WENDY WILLIAMS (opposite page, right), who is writing a biography focused on Ginsburg’s women’s rights cases of the 1970s. Ginsburg was then a full-time professor at Columbia University’s law school. She argued cases in the Supreme Court throughout the socially turbulent 1970s, said Williams, who is herself a law school professor at Georgetown, and Ginsburg also did much work in the lower courts. Major cases that she argued achieved equal benefits for wage-earning women and their families under the Social Security Act and required that states enlist women to serve on juries under the same conditions as men. “By the end of the decade when she was litigating, she saw a thorough change in federal and state laws. Not bad for ten years’ work,” said Williams. Programming Highlights AFRICA PROGRAM In January 2008, militia leaders in the Democratic Republic of Congo received training in negotiation, communication, and trust-building skills at a workshop, hosted by the Program’s Leadership Initiative for the 49 signatories of the Goma Peace Conference. ASIA PROGRAM At an April program, scholars warned that although Japan will lose nearly one-third of its population by mid-century, little is being done to prepare for this challenge. CANADA INSTITUTE In May, the Institute held an event in Toronto featuring a speech from Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle, chair of the Great Lakes Governors, on the shared challenges the United States and Canada face as stewards of the region’s economy and environment. CHINA ENVIRONMENT FORUM In March, the Forum screened a documentary stressing the importance of energy efficient “green” buildings and huge eco-blocks as a way to decrease air pollution in China’s rapidly urbanizing areas. COMPARATIVE URBAN STUDIES PROJECT CUSP and the Kennan Institute organized a conference and released several publications exploring the relationship between migration and urbanization. Leading urban specialists compared local research initiatives to illustrate how migrants are shaping the cities where they live and, in turn, how urban life is transforming migrant groups. EAST EUROPEAN STUDIES A workshop in Thessaloniki, Greece, sponsored by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, aimed at trouble-shooting European integration of the Western Balkans, where the EU enlargement process has stagnated. ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE AND SECURITY PROGRAM A new meeting series, “Population-Health-Environment: Building the Foundation for the Next 10 Years,” took a long-range, innovative look at the field, and extended its reach by disseminating audio podcasts and videos featuring speakers from the series. Foresight and Governance Project The publication “Critical Upgrade: Enhanced Capacity for White House Science and Technology Policymaking” summarized insights from the nation’s top science policymakers. Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies Nature Nanotechnology published a study showing that inhaled multiwalled carbon nanotubes may later cause mesothelioma, co-authored by Project science advisor Andrew Maynard. The study received coverage in nearly every major mainstream news outlet in the U.S. and Europe. Global Health Initiative The Initiative hosted the U.S. launch of The Lancet’s series on maternal and child undernutrition. The event highlighted the crucial role that early nutrition plays in public health and economic development. HISTORY AND PUBLIC POLICY PROGRAM In cooperation with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Program organized a two-day conference at which journalists and policymakers discussed analytic process in the context of the information age. Cold War International History Project Bulletin no. 16 included the first-ever systematic publication of Chinese archival documents on the Cold War, declassified through an agreement between the Center and the Chinese Foreign Ministry Archives. North Korea International Documentation Project In cooperation with the University of North Korean Studies, Seoul, the Project held its first annual critical oral history conference on inter-Korean, U.S.-Korean, and DPRK–Communist bloc relations, focusing on the crises of 1968–69 in Korea. INTERNATIONAL SECURITY STUDIES As part of its ongoing Terrorism and Homeland Security Forum meeting series, the Division of International Security Studies explored the metamorphosis of Al Qaeda since 9/11 and its reconstitution in the Afghan-Pakistan border region. 1 a year’s highlights (left to right, top to bottom) Wyoming Governor David Freudenthal delivers the keynote address at the Canada Institute’s ninth Cross-Border Energy Forum. Filmmaker Caroline Harrison launched her new documentary, The Green Dragon, which discusses the state of “green” buildings in China and their potential to improve air quality and health in China’s rapidly growing cities. Speakers at the launch of The Lancet’s series on maternal and child undernutrition: Robert Black (Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health), Joy Phumaphi (World Bank), Jayaseelan Naidoo, (Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition), Tadataka Yamada (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation), Kent Hill (USAID), and Faith McLellan (The Lancet).

David Ignatius (Washington Post), Thomas Fingar (Office of the Director of National Intelligence), and Samuel Wells (Wilson Center) discuss lessons from the world of journalism for analytical practice. Ambassador Walter Cutler, Professor James G. Hershberg, Ambassador Sun Jounyung, North Korea International Documentation Project Director Christian Ostermann, and Ambassador James Leonard take part in the critical oral history conference “Crisis and Confrontation on the Korean Peninsula: 1968-1969” 21 a year’s highlights KENNAN INSTITUTE The Institute, the Russian Academy of Sciences, and the U.S. Embassy in Moscow co-sponsored a conference in Moscow commemorating 200 years of U.S.-Russian relations, focused both on the history of their diplomatic relations and on how the scholars in each country teach about the other. KISSINGER INSTITUTE ON CHINA AND THE UNITED STATES The Kissinger Institute on China and the United States was inaugurated on July 29 with a public ceremony at which Henry A. Kissinger, former secretary of state, spoke, along with Yang Jiechi, minister of foreign affairs of the People’s Republic of China, and Stephen J. Hadley, assistant to the president for national security affairs. LATIN AMERICAN PROGRAM In the midst of heated congressional debate over a U.S.Colombia Free Trade Agreement, a conference on Capitol Hill featured U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab and Colombian Vice Minister of Labor Andrés Palacio. Brazil Institute The Brazil Institute convened a half-day seminar to discuss the Initiative for the Integration of the Regional Infrastructure of South America (IIRSA) and its potential impact on the Amazon. Mexico Institute On June 12, 2008, the Mexico Institute sponsored a conference on Mexico and the U.S. election to highlight how changes in U.S. government might affect the relationship between the two countries and to share ideas for renewing ties. MIDDLE EAST PROGRAM Options for U.S. policy toward the Arab-Israeli conflict were discussed in three major meetings of Palestinian, Israeli, Lebanese, and U.S. political leaders, diplomats, scholars, and journalists. The conferences were sponsored by the Joseph and Alma Gildenhorn Middle East Forum and the International Crisis Group. PROJECT ON LEADERSHIP AND BUILDING STATE CAPACITY Two retreat workshops in Liberia with diverse high-level leaders, congressional leadership, opposition party leaders, the president, and other executive branch officials helped strengthen the cohesion and collaborative capacity among key leaders. SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AMERICA, AND THE GLOBAL ECONOMY A series of events highlighted excellent K–12 education initiatives in the United States, demonstrating how strong partnerships—between schools, businesses, government, non-profits, and universities—can promote highly effective learning and teaching. SOUTHEAST EUROPE PROJECT A conference on “Trans-Atlantic Perspectives on the Wider Black Sea Region” assessed U.S. policy convergence and divergence with European Union and Russian interests in this increasingly influential area. UNITED STATES STUDIES Philippa Strum retired as director of the Division of United States Studies, which she had led since 2003. During her tenure, the Division focused on scholarship in race, gender, ethnicity, and civil liberties, and conducted influential programming on post-9/11 topics such as Muslims in the United States and interrogation techniques in the war on terror. Congress Project Senate Budget Committee chairman Kent Conrad (D-SD) and ranking member Judd Gregg (R-NH), described their bipartisan proposal for Congress to vote on a proposal addressing finances of Medicare and Social Security. WEST EUROPEAN STUDIES West European Studies, along with East European Studies and the Africa Program, presented Misha Glenny, former BBC World correspondent and Wilson Center Fellow, who discussed his new book McMafia: A Journey through the Global Criminal Underworld. WILSON CENTER ON THE HILL This new series launched in June brought independent experts in development and trade to Congress through seminars at the Capitol and congressional study trips. Scholar Highlights Center Impressions R. NICHOLAS BURNS, Public Policy Scholar, 2008 “It’s been a tremendous experience.

The Center is a real pearl that I will treasure for the rest of my life. The staff is friendly. The place is booming with activities. It is intellectually inspiring. This has been one of the best years of my life.” Chair and Professor in Politics, University of Hull, The United Kingdom Notable Book Reviews BRIAN MCALLISTER LINN, Fellow, 2004–05 The National Review: “The Echo of Battle sheds much-needed light on current defense debates. . . . [Linn] shows that the military’s use of history has all too often been rather the abuse of history, a matter of the selective use of historical examples—‘cherry picking’—to buttress a particular conceptual framework.” Review of The Echo of Battle: The Army’s Way of War BARBARA SLAVIN, Public Policy Scholar, 2006 The Economist: “Instead of slipping into war, could America and Iran negotiate a détente in the Middle East? In her clear and readable primer on Iran and its relations with America, Barbara Slavin recounts how such a breakthrough may have been missed after the attacks of September 11th 2001.” Review of Bitter Friends, Bosom Enemies: Iran, the U.S., and the Twisted Path to Confrontation MATTHEW CONNELLY, Fellow, 2006–07 Sunday Times (London): “A devastating account of the population-control movement; he demonstrates, detail by shocking detail, how a movement that believed it was acting from the highest humanitarian ideals became responsible for callous abuses of human rights on a global scale, ruining millions of lives in a grotesque eugenic experiment.” Review of Fatal Misconception: The Struggle to Control World Population 23 a year’s highlights (left to right) R.

grand opening on October 7, 2008. Located in the theater next to the Center’s Memorial Hallway on the ground floor of the Ronald Reagan Building, the exhibit features memorabilia, photos, and short films. Inside the exhibit, illuminated display cases contain artifacts, photos, and historical information. A timeline of events encircles one case that holds Woodrow Wilson’s hat, coat, and glasses, lent by the Smithsonian Institution. Along the Memorial Hallway, several colorful panels connect Wilson’s vision to the current work of the Center. The Center is grateful to those who generously donated time, information, photos, and memorabilia: the Smithsonian Institution, the Woodrow Wilson House, the Library of Congress, the National Archives, the National Portrait Gallery, Princeton University Press, and private donor Anthony Atkiss. The Center also thanks Board of Trustees Vice Chair David Metzner for initiating contact with the exhibit’s designer, STUDIOS Architecture. Housing such a memorial was part of the original plan for the permanent home of the Center, and it has finally come to fruition. Woodrow Wilson Center staff spent many months planning and preparing for the opening and are continuing marketing efforts to encourage visitors to come learn about the life and legacy of America’s 28th president. The exhibit is open to the public Monday to Friday, 8:30 am – 5 pm. 31 a year’s highlights (bottom right) Wilson Center President and Director Lee H.

The Center is a nonpartisan institution, supported by public and private funds, engaged in the study of national and world affairs. The Center establishes and maintains a neutral forum for free, open, and informed dialogue. The Center’s mission is to commemorate the ideals and concerns of Woodrow Wilson by providing a link between the world of ideas and the world of policy and by fostering research, study, discussion, and collaboration among a broad spectrum of individuals concerned with policy and scholarship in national and international affairs.

These dedicated funders have helped the Center grow, develop, and expand into an internationally known and respected nonpartisan institute. Contributions from the private sector show its understanding of the importance of the many activities and programs produced by the Center. The Wilson Council, nearly 150 members strong, provides essential unrestricted support that ensures the longevity of the Center. WilsonAlliances brings the corporate perspective that, when combined with the academic and policy strands of the Center, strengthens the broad reach of our activities. Woodrow Wilson Award dinners not only bring our programming to new venues across the world, but also connect the Center to new and established donors—individuals, foundations, and organizations that support the Center, secure in knowing that even a small donation can make a difference in the pursuit of research and informed dialogue. And through the Legacy Society, planned gifts ensure the Center’s future for another 40 years. The Center’s Fellows are the most prominent face of the Center, producing research on topics as varied as retirement pensions and aboriginal rights. After they leave, they continue to be an integral part of the Center by providing funding for the many interns sponsored by the Center. We extend our appreciation to all those who have provided vital support to the Wilson Center. (opposite page, left to right) Council member Daniel L.

He has sponsored arts and cultural centers, and the “Catch Them Young” Program, which exposes urban youth to information technology.

Committed to education, literacy, and health care issues, her Dollywood Foundation provides student scholarships and recently pledged support to a local hospital and cancer center. The foundation’s Dolly Parton Imagination Library sends preschoolers one book each month and has grown to touch some 800 communities, giving away millions of books across the United States and Canada. Raised in rural Tennessee, Parton never forgot her country roots. When Dollywood opened in 1986, the theme park revitalized the state’s economy and resources. Described as energetic and down to earth, she said of her philanthropy, “We make good money, but we give it back.” Doug Barnhart (left) and Anthony Pico (right) were presented with Woodrow Wilson Awards for Corporate Citizenship and Public Service, respectively, at a dinner chaired by Robert Horsman (center) in San Diego, California.

Together with his wife, Sue, he lends support to many causes, including the Milwaukee Art Museum, St. Francis Children’s Center, and the Boys and Girls Club of America, and is a founder of the Athletes for Youth program. When the Braves left Milwaukee in 1966, Selig worked to bring baseball back to his hometown, and soon the Brewers were born. Under his leadership as baseball commissioner, more than 17 new stadiums were constructed and the longest labor contract in league history was negotiated. Baseball, he said, “is so important to so many and can set a positive example.” (bottom, from left) Wilson Center Associate Director Fred Bush, Dinner Co-Chairman Edward Zore, Public Service Award recipient Allan “Bud” Selig, Corporate Citizenship Award recipient Jeffrey Joerres, Dinner Co-Chairman Sheldon Lubar, and Wilson Center Chairman Joseph B.

Led by former congressman and presidential special envoy Howard Wolpe, the Program serves as one of Washington’s leading forums for informed debate about the challenges and opportunities facing Africa, and about American interests in, and policy toward, the continent. The program serves as a bridge linking academics, diplomats, policymakers, and the private sector from Africa and the United States. Asia Program The Asia Program brings historical and cultural sensitivity to the discussion of Asia in the nation’s capital. In seminars, workshops, and conferences, prominent scholars of Asia interact with one another and with policy practitioners to further understanding of the peoples, traditions, and behaviors of the world’s most populous continent. In 2007–08: * A panel of speakers, at a meeting co-sponsored by the Program and the Center for Strategic and International Studies, assessed the post-election crisis in Kenya, and discussed options for international response. * An event on gender-based violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo focused on the heightened use of sexual violence against women as a weapon of war. The eastern Congo currently has the highest incidence of rape worldwide. * At an African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) Private Sector meeting, representatives of the private sector from throughout Africa discussed private investment in agriculture and trade in Africa. The event was co-chaired by Manchester Trade and African Coalition for Trade, held in conjunction with this year’s AGOA Forum, “Mobilizing Private Investment for Trade and Growth.” * The Program’s Leadership Initiative in the Democratic Republic of Congo conducted a Training of Trainers workshop in Bukavu, South Kivu, for 18 specially selected Congolese representing the military, national assembly, universities, media, and civil society from throughout the country. * A series of leadership trainings were held for the National Integrated Police of Burundi. For 2008–09: * Leadership Initiative in the Democratic Republic of Congo will be expanded within the National Army and in the provinces of Katanga and Ituri. * The Africa Program will host Nureldin Satti, former director and representative of UNESCO-Ethiopia and a former special representative of the secretary-general in Burundi, as an Open Society Institute–funded scholar. In 2007–08: * The Program held its first-ever event in New Delhi. * A weeklong workshop for Pakistani print and broadcast journalists discussed the obstacles facing that country’s media. For 2008–09: * Major conferences will cover Al Jazeera in Southeast Asia and Pakistan’s water crisis. * Regular briefings for congressional staff will be held on Capitol Hill. Canada Institute The Canada Institute seeks to promote a free flow of ideas and policy options for deepening understanding, communication, and cooperation between the United States and Canada by engaging policymakers and members of the scholarly, business, and not-for-profit communities in creative dialogue.

Many cover stories looked at various angles of a single issue by featuring the work of several Center programs. Cover stories included energy resources around the world; preserving the wondrous Amazon rainforest; handling natural disasters with a focus on the May 2007 Chinese earthquake; the enigma of North Korea; and dialogue radio’s 25th anniversary. In addition, the December 2007 and summer 2008 issues looked at topics close to the electorate, from the environment and the economy to health care and retirement. More than 10,000 people receive Centerpoint—field experts, academics, government officials, corporate executives —and many more access monthly highlights on the Centerpoint page of the website: www.wilsoncenter.org/centerpoint. www.wilsoncenter.org www.wilsoncenter.org is the most comprehensive, widely accessible source of information on the Woodrow Wilson Center.
