On December 2, 2023, the Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs at Johns Hopkins SAIS will host a crisis simulation exercise: Arctic Security and the Race for Strategic Advantage. This half-day exercise, led by Professor Hal Brands of SAIS and Professor Timothy Nichols of Duke University, simulates a significant US-Russian crisis that explores the dark world of intelligence, the fragility of international agreements, and the almost ruthless quest for advantage. Students will serve as National Security Council members and staff; they will immerse themselves in the military, legal, media, intelligence and policy realms to diagnose a flash crisis and then find a way out.

The "Failure of the Post-Cold War Order" event, organized by the Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs at Johns Hopkins SAIS and the University of Mainz, brought together experts and scholars to examine the causes and consequences of the Post-Cold War Order's failure. Through panel discussions and presentations, participants explored alternative approaches and lessons for present and future international politics. The event featured insightful sessions, including discussions on Western institutions, Russia's role, European aspirations, the Asian perspective, and the United States' unipolar moment. The conference aimed to shed light on the history of the Post-Cold War Order and offer valuable insights for navigating international affairs in the future.
