Local Action / Global Impact
Mayor Marilyn Strickland, City of Tacoma
Thursday, October 19, 2017, 7:00 - 8:30pm, Room 9208
The phrase "think global, act local" is a call to arms of local activism. It is probably most strongly associated with environmental issues, but has been used in many other policy realms as well, including trade, immigration, transportation, healthcare, and education. Mayor Marilyn Strickland argues that there has been a shift from national to local governments such as Tacoma in seeking progress on these issues.

This discussion is a collaboration between the GAC and Veterans Services at Shoreline Community College.

Justin Collins, University of Washington, Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies, (Shoreline CC, 2015; JSIS, 2018)
Thursday, November 9, 2017, 12:30-1:20pm, Room 9208

He presented his research findings on the need for US-EU Transatlantic cybersecurity.

U.S.-Russian relations seem to have reached a low point since the end of the Cold War in 1990. From confrontations in Europe and the Middle East, and accusations of Russian meddling in U.S. elections have produced a "tenuous" bilateral relationship. Is it the new/old normal?

Conflict in the South China Seas - Thursday at Shoreline Community College

Tuesday, April 25, 2017

The Global Affairs Center has two events Thursday. A speaker in the morning and Great Discussions continues in the evening.

In the morning...

Finding Your “True North” - My Education Journey
Loretta Fisher (Shoreline, ’07)
Graduate Student, UW, Environmental Science and Resource Management
Thursday, April 27, 2017, 11:30-12:20
Room 1503

Loretta’s educational journey took her from economics to Asian languages, from criminal justice reform to ecological restoration. She shares her personal experience from growing up in rural Colorado trailer parks to doing serious scientific research as a graduate student, and along the way discovering an avocation that, in her own words ”has enabled me to adapt my educational track over time to find my own unique path.”

16101 Greenwood Ave N, Room 1503 (campus map)
There is a small fee for parking on campus during the daytime.


That same evening the conversation continues . . .

“Conflict in the South China Sea”
Thursday, April 27, 2017, 6:30- 8:30pm
Guest Moderator:  Bill Center, Vice Admiral (retired) U.S. Navy

The South China Sea is a locus of competing territorial claims, and China its most vocal claimant. Despite rising international pressure, including an unfavorable ruling by the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, China staunchly defends its policies in the region. Preventing tensions from boiling over is a matter of careful diplomacy.

Parking is FREE on campus in the evening.
Attendance is limited and there is an entrance fee of $5 payable at the door.

Mexico's perspective on North America

Friday, March 10, 2017



The Global Affairs Center of Shoreline Community College presents

North America in the 21st Century:
Mexico’s Perspective

Dr. Roberto Dondisch
Consul General for Mexico, Seattle

U.S. relations with Mexico are strong and vital. The two countries share a 2,000-mile border, and bilateral relations between the two have a direct impact on the lives and livelihoods of millions of Americans.

Mexico is the United States’ second-largest export market (after Canada) and third-largest trading partner (after Canada and China).

But, the U.S. just finished a rather bruising Presidential election, including some heated words about immigration and trade directed to our southern neighbor.

What do Mexican citizens think about their place in the world?

Thursday, March 16, 2017, 7:00 - 8:30 pm, Shoreline Community College. 16101 Greenwood Ave N, Room 9208 (campus maps). Free parking.

Taiwan–U.S. Relations - speaker from Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Seattle

Saturday, February 4, 2017

The Global Affairs Center of Shoreline Community College presents . . .

Taiwan–U.S. Relations

February 9, 2017, 11:30am–12:30pm

Shoreline Community College, Room 9208
16101 Greenwood Ave N, Shoreline 98133

In 1979, when the United States and the People’s Republic of China established formal diplomatic relations and opened embassies in each other’s capitol, U.S. relations with the Republic of China, or Taiwan, changed.

Taiwan’s embassy in Washington, D.C. became a “Representative Office,” and its consulates throughout the U.S., including the one here in Seattle, became “Economic and Cultural Offices.” 

Nonetheless, according to the U.S. Department of State’s current Taiwan Fact Sheet, "The United States and Taiwan enjoy a robust unofficial relationship.”

Director General Yao will discuss Taiwan’s relationship with the U.S. and the role of his office in advancing understanding and commercial relations in the Pacific Northwest.

Germany’s perspective on the United States - Thursday at SCC

Wednesday, February 1, 2017

The recent US presidential election has prompted a strong sense of anxiety and bewilderment in many European countries, and especially in Germany where opposition to right-wing populism remains strong.

While the United States continue to be considered as a key political partner and ally, new questions and challenges arise for the future transatlantic relationship with the incoming president.

Frank Wendler is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science and at the Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington in Seattle, with sponsorship from the German Academic Exchange Service. He recently published a book on the subject of political polarization in Europe. More can be found at the GAC website.

Germany’s perspective on the United States

Saturday, January 28, 2017

U.S. and Germany relationship
The Global Affairs Center of Shoreline Community College presents Dr. Frank Wendler speaking on Germany’s perspective on the United States

While the United States continues to be a key political partner and ally in Europe, new challenges have arisen recently, including:
  • The future economic, political and military partnership between Europe and the U.S.
  • The rise of populist politics and anti-immigrant rhetoric in both the U.S. and Europe

Dr. Wendler is Visiting Professor, Department of Political Science and the Jackson School of International Studies, University of Washington.

Dr. Wendler recently published a book about European regional politics and political polarization, and argues that recent developments, including the rise of populism in both the U.S. and in Europe, reflect long-standing challenges since the end of the Cold War rather than entirely new ones

Thursday, February 2, 2017, 7–8:30 pm

The Fog of Cybersecurity

Dr. Jessica Beyer, Research Scientist in the Henry M. Jackson School for International Studies and author of the book, Expect Us: Online Communities and Political Mobilization.

“Our daily life, economic vitality, and national security depend on a stable, safe, and resilient cyberspace. Cyberspace and its underlying infrastructure are vulnerable to a wide range of risk stemming from both physical and cyber threats and hazards. 
Sophisticated cyber actors and nation-states exploit vulnerabilities to steal information and money and are developing capabilities to disrupt, destroy, or threaten the delivery of essential services.”
 Department of Homeland Security website (November 15, 2016)

What are the key factors involved in protecting ourselves against cyber-hacking and other cyber-threats?

How do we determine where cyber-attacks originate?

In the absence of knowing the source of a cyber-attack, how do we respond?

What is the international cybersecurity landscape?

Thursday, November 17, 2016; 7:00 – 8:30pm, Shoreline Community College, 16101 Greenwood Ave N, Room 9208 (campus maps)

Great Britain and the European Union
  • Robin Twyman, Consul (Business and Government Affairs), United Kingdom, Seattle Office
  • Phillip Shekleton, Lecturer, Foster School of Business, University of Washington

The historic vote that took place on June 23 in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to leave the European Union (“Brexit”) has generated uncertainty about Great Britain’s future, that of Europe, and about the post-1945 global order.

Does this historic referendum signal that Britain has chosen to retreat into a “Little England” status, or does it signal a desire to redefine its role on the world stage?

Join us for a lively discussion of developments in Great Britain, and their implications for European unity and the “special relationship” between Great Britain and the U.S.

Traditional images of agricultural have barns, farm animals, irrigation equipment, and most important, big fields. These images will continue to dominate discussions of agriculture.

But indoor agriculture, or urban farming, is exploding. Consumer demands for food grown closer to where it is consumed, a growing concern about food system security, the steady pressure of population growth have all contributed to finding new ways, using technology, to grow food.

Along with new technologies will come new ways of thinking about agriculture and food

Economic sanctions on Iran would be lifted once the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) certified that Iran has restricted its sensitive nuclear activities.
