SUMMARY:Understanding the Conflict in Sudan
DESCRIPTION:.\n\n\nFor more than two years\, Sudan has been in the throes of a violent civil war following attempted civil-military rule. Fighting has been intense between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF)\, a paramilitary group with origins in the Janjaweed militia that was previously accused of atrocities in the war-ravaged Darfur region. \nThe war has been taking on a new dimension as additional actors have appeared on the geopolitical scene. Countries such as Egypt\, Turkey\, Iran\, Qatar\, Russia\, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have all been accused of supporting one side or the other of the conflict depending on their strategic interests. Join Perry World House as we seek to explain some of the background of this entrenched conflict\, who the key players are and what are their motivations in Sudan\, and what we expect to see in the short-\, medium-\, and long-term. \n\n\n \nSPEAKERS\nAli B.

Hassan & Carina E. Ray (Eds.)\, Cornell University Press\, 2009. \nMark Malloch-Brown has had a long career in international affairs\, development\, business\, and communications.

SUMMARY:"Smartphone Democracy" (Francois Brochet) book discussion
DESCRIPTION:This book explains how 20th century “representative democracy” changed into 21st century “direct democracy” in Europe. NYC also just changed\n\n\nIf you have noticed that smartphones have radically changed our social activity over the last two decades\, do you think that smartphones have radically changed our political activity as well? Francois Brochet does. In Smartphone Democracy\, he carefully deconstructs patterns of smartphone use as well as their effects on political systems. He concludes that no matter how hard we try\, 21st-century political processes cannot be replaced by the previous 20th-century norms that were used to generate the familiar patterns of our representative democracies. \n \nWe have slowly developed new habits that derive from our quick reactions to smartphones. Over a couple of decades\, these habits have made voting on a yearly (or four-year basis) too slow for the multitudes. The result is a political change seen in the phenomenal growth of global populist movements often characterized by millions of internet users liking\, sharing\, tweeting\, “truthing”\, re-tweeting\, or “re-truthing” their preferences. And all of this informational sharing is under the control of a charismatic leader whose data analysts help shape decisions made by governments. \n \nThe iphones and social platforms that were invented in the early 2000’s quickly spread throughout the world. There are currently 7.4b smartphones in use and 5.4b social media users worldwide. Beginning in 2007\, Barack Obama and his knowledgeable tech team first used only texting to collect 2.2m volunteers who then interacted with 10 million voters. This resulted in his gaining 3 million donors and a vast majority of support among both 18-30 year-old voters and Black/Hispanic voters which led to his victory in the 2008 presidential election. His “Yes We Can” slogan was picked up in Spain by the Podermos (meaning “We Can”) movement in 2014 and by the end of 2015 that left-wing populist movement won 20.7% of the Spanish votes cast (5.1m) using digital techniques. \nSince 2002\, populist politics have been developing and spreading through many countries. In Italy and Hungary\, the voting for the populist leaders is currently larger than the voting for the traditional parties’ leaders (58% and 54% in 2022). \nIn the United States\, populism is usually thought of as a right-wing phenomena (based on the use of social media platforms by the Republican party)\, but on November 5th Zohran Mamdani’s left-wing populism made him the new mayor of New York (a city with more economic power than Canada). He gathered 104\,000 volunteers who made 4.4m phone calls and knocked on 3.1m doors which led him to obtain just over 1m votes and win the election. A few days later\, he used Blue Sky Social to collect 50\,000 resumes so that he could hire people for his upcoming mayoral administration. \nAdditionally\, California Governor Gavin Newsom began to use left-wing populism based on social platforms last summer. At first he just imitated the Trump tweet-clash style using all capital letters\, but since then his Press Office team has been maintaining a constant presence on Twitter/X and he has now become the leading contender for the 2026 elections. \nThe “smartphone democracy” methods that Brochet describes have become standardized wherever they are used and are fairly easy to understand. They are best summarized in another book (The Engineers of Chaos: How the engineers of chaos multiply anger and frustration using their algorithms by Da Empoli\, 2025) which offers a quick and somewhat blunt analysis: \n“A process of microtargeting is used to mine anger and resentment about certain political topics which then get channeled into political energy. \nEmotional content is prioritized over rational discourse on the platforms which then amplify polarization and replace traditional political debate with strong emotions like anger\, fear\, and resentment (often about hot topics like immigration). \nThe logic of the political actions which become catalyzed by the platforms involves three simple operations: \n1) identify both hot topics and fractures that divide public opinion\, \n2) push the most extreme positions and make them clash with each other\, and \n3) project this confrontation back onto the public as a whole. \nThese three operations then generate anger and frustration which overheat the general atmosphere.” \n \nThis book discussion will offer a 25-minute presentation about the ideas in Smartphone Democracy with questions and comments invited. The remaining time will be devoted to breakout groups and a general discussion. Join us for an engaging experience.

SUMMARY:Rep. Joanna E. McClinton\, Speaker of the PA House
DESCRIPTION:Join PA House Speaker Joanna McClinton for a candid conversation on the state budget\, democracy\, and expanding opportunity in Pennsylvania.\n\n\nOur next PCCP Policy conversation on Thursday\, December 18th will feature PA House Speaker Joanna McClinton\, fresh off of a long State budget impasse that ended last week. And for those who missed it\, we had a great conversation on Friday\, November 14th with Scott Stephenson\, the President of the Museum of the American Revolution\, as we anticipate watching the Ken Burns 12 hour docu-series and next year being the center of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. \nPennsylvania Speaker of the House Joanna McClinton was first elected in 2015 to serve communities in west and southwest Philadelphia\, as well as Yeadon and Darby in Delaware County. \nAs a state lawmaker she has made history three times! First in 2018 when she became the first woman and first African American to be elected as House Democratic Caucus Chair\, and again in 2020\, when she was the first woman elected House Democratic Leader in the institution’s 244-year history. In 2023\, McClinton was elected Speaker of the Pennsylvania House – the first woman to serve in that position in the nation’s oldest legislature. \nA lifelong resident of southwest Philadelphia and graduate of Grace Temple Christian Academy\, she became active in her community while completing an internship with radio station WDAS. Later\, she studied Political Science and Leadership in Global Understanding at La Salle University. After earning her degree\, she enrolled at Villanova University School of Law\, interning at Regional Housing Legal Services\, the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office and the Defender Association of Philadelphia. \nShe was an assistant public defender for seven years and became assistant chief of the East Zone during her last year\, helping attorneys with case preparation. \nIn 2013\, Speaker McClinton combined her passion for public service and law by becoming chief counsel to state Sen. Anthony Hardy Williams\, where she worked behind the scenes to develop policy and legislation; organize expungement fairs and public policy forums; and assist constituents. \nSpeaker McClinton has earned several distinctions for her commitment to public service including City and State PA’s 40 Under 40\, Power of Diversity: Black 100\, and Above & Beyond lists\, the Barristers’ Association of Philadelphia’s Outstanding Young Lawyer of the Year award\, Fun Time Magazine’s Women of Influence Award\, the PRE-K for PA Champion award\, the Lucien E. Blackwell Guiding Light Community award\, the Black Gala Women of Excellence\, and the University of Pittsburgh’s Institute of Politics’ Elsie Hillman Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in Public Service. She was named to Politico Recast’s Power List 2022\, and as a NewDeal Rising Leader in 2023. \n\n\n_____________________________________________ \nPAYMENT OPTIONS: After you register below\, you will see options for making your payment by credit card\, check\, or payment at the door.
