PS21 has some more interesting events in the coming weeks. We’ve published a couple of great PS21 Insight reports this week, along with a ‘best of’ roundup of our blog articles. See below for more details.

Upcoming events:

Washington DC

August 19: US-Israel Relations After the Iran Deal

After July’s historic nuclear deal between the P5+1 great powers and Iran, what is next for relations between the United States and Israel?

Moderator: Warren Stroble

Panel: Alexandria Paolozzi, Dr. Guy Ziv and Ari Ratner

August 25: What Next for Iran after the Nuclear Deal? 

After last month’s Iran nuclear deal, what’s next for the Islamic Republic? Will the easing of sanctions bring it more into the diplomatic and international mainstream? Or will the new economic growth create a more assertive Iran that further antagonises the rest of the region? What will the domestic consequences be of Tehran’s new openness to the outside world? And what, if anything, will happen to the nuclear program?

Moderator: Negar Razavi

Panel: Ariane Tabatabai, Kelsey Davenport, Reza Akbari and Sam Cutler

We have some exciting events planned for London from this September. Topics include the dark web, managing humanitarian emergencies, markets and geopolitics, Afghan reconstruction and outside views of British defense.

This week at PS21: 

Milena Rodban discussed the challenges facing political risk analysis professionals, both fron within and without, in Political Risk Analysis: an industry fighting wars on two fronts

We published two great PS21 Insights: David Hartwell and Amr Ismail gave expert opinion on what the new Suez Canal will mean for Egypt. While Hayat Alvi, Rasha Elass and Milena Rodban highlighted the serious flaws in the US-Turkey plan to fight ISIS.

We also looked back on our Top 5 Posts on ISIS so far, highlighting articles from Jack Goldstone, David Murrin, Patrick Bury and Ryan Hagemann, as well as our report on the ISIS war.
