The Maritime Security Dialogue brings together CSIS and U.S. Naval Institute, two of the nation's most respected non-partisan institutions. The series is intended to highlight the particular challenges facing the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, from national level maritime policy to naval concept development and program design. Given budgetary challenges, technological opportunities, and ongoing strategic adjustments, the nature and employment of U.S. maritime forces are likely to undergo significant change over the next ten to fifteen years. The Maritime Security Dialogue provides an unmatched forum for discussion of these issues with the nation's maritime leaders.
On April 20, 2022, the Ford School hosted "Elissa Slotkin: "Shifting sands: Rethinking the international security landscape." Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin and Associate Professor Ann Lin discussed shifts in international security and ongoing struggles between major global powers.

Please join us for an important discussion that will assess the new dynamics in Europe’s security landscape and evaluate the challenges of the past year in light of the upcoming one-year anniversary of the Euromaidan revolution in Ukraine. Twenty-three years of policy efforts to integrate Russia into Western structures after the collapse of the Soviet Union have come to an end. The principal challenge to the transatlantic community is to formulate a new and long-term foreign policy approach by directly engaging, for the first time, Poland as well as the Baltic and Central European countries. This conference will address these new challenges, examine the potential impact on the region, particularly within Russia’s neighborhood, and discuss how the United States and Europe can reformulate their foreign policies in order to better understand Russia’s motivations today, predict its future behavior, and ensure the security and stability of Europe. Our expert panelists will address these issues and offer their perspectives on what transatlantic dialogue with Russia will look like in the future, as well as examine the implications of Russia’s actions on the future of the international system.

A conversation with Mr. David Sanger, Chief Washington Correspondent, The New York Times and Ms. Sharon Squassoni, Director, Proliferation Prevention Program
The path from ‘ore to bomb’ is long, challenging, and requires sophisticated technologies, but natural uranium is where it starts. Most attention in nuclear security and nonproliferation has focused on restricting the highest risk material, but recent shifts in the market for natural uranium will introduce new challenges for export controls, transport security, physical protection and tracking of materials. For example, long-standing uranium consumers such as Japan and Germany are scaling back their reliance on nuclear power, but the ambitious nuclear energy programs of India and China may soon increase global demand for natural uranium. Meanwhile, new uranium suppliers such as Malawi, Tanzania, and Greenland are entering the global marketplace. CSIS has partnered with the Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS) and other international think-tanks in the on-going "Governing Uranium" project to explore the dimensions of security of natural uranium in a changing global market.
