  • Armies of Sand
    After spending decades and billions of dollars training Arab armies, many argue that the time has come for the United States to turn its back on the Middle East. But the price of abandoning the region to the likes of Iran, Hezbollah, al Qaeda, and ISIS will be high. The US must radically rethink its engagement with Arab armed forces.
    Join AEI’s Kenneth Pollack and Lt. Gen. Sean MacFarland for a conversation addressing the urgent question of how to better train Arab armies, and a discussion on Dr. Pollack’s new book, “Armies of Sand: The Past, Present, and Future of Arab Military Effectiveness”, which addresses the factors that contribute to Arab military ineffectiveness.

  • Beyond prison
    Following the recent passage of the First Step Act, correctional education and workforce programs have become a frequent topic in helping incarcerated individuals return to society as productive and law-abiding citizens. Yet, prisoner rehabilitation programming is arguably one of the most contested criminal justice policies of our time. Are prisons designed for corporal punishment, human improvement, or both?
    Join us as the authors of “Education for Liberation: The Politics of Promise and Reform Inside and Beyond America’s Prisons” discuss the promise, history, and future of correctional education and reentry programs.

  • Love your enemies
    Most Americans are distressed by their country’s growing divisions. But the problem is not excessive anger or incivility. Rather, it is a culture of contempt — the growing conviction that those who disagree with us are worthless as people.
    AEI President Arthur Brooks has a solution in his new book “Love Your Enemies: How Decent People Can Save America from the Culture of Contempt” (Broadside Books, 2019), which charts a course to a better kind of politics, based on a clear and bracing commitment to loving one another.

    Congress and the National Defense Strategy

    The Pentagon’s National Defense Strategy declares that the United States has entered a renewed period of great power competition. To pursue this new strategic direction, the Department of Defense requires new budgetary resources, new operational concepts, and energetic oversight from the country’s political leadership — in other words, partners in Congress.
