SUMMARY:2021 SPRING | The Modern American City: Past\, Present\, and Future
DESCRIPTION:Dole Fellow Patrick Tuohey\nRead more about Dole Fellows >> \nThis program is made possible through the generosity of Newman’s Own Foundation \n  \n  \nThe Shifts that Shape Our Cities\, Demographic Trends\n2/24/2021 \n \nPlease join us for our first Discussion Group of the semester\, “The Shifts that Shape Our Cities\, Demographic Trends.” This program is the first of our Spring Discussion Groups series\, “The Modern American City: Past\, Present\, and Future.\nOur Spring Discussion Groups Fellow\, Patrick Tuohey\, welcomes Wendell Cox as his special guest for this week.

He earned a BA in Government from California State University\, Los Angeles\, and an MBA from Pepperdine University. \n  \nTrends in Municipal Growth and Finance\n3/3/2021 \n \nCities are the engines of state and national economies\, yet in many places\, taxes and public debt are at the highest levels they’ve ever been. Are the increased costs justified by the returns on public investment in the areas of public safety and infrastructure? \nPlease join us for the second installment of our Spring 2021 Discussion Groups series\, “The Modern American City: Past\, Present\, and Future.” Our Spring Fellow Patrick Tuohey welcomes University of North Carolina\, Chapel Hill Professor Whitney Afonso\, and Kansas City-based architect Dennis Strait for a conversation on what finance and budgeting look like at the local level and how these fields have adapted with time. \n  \nSegregation\, Race\, and City Policy\n3/10/2021 \n \nBeginning in the 1920s\, state and federal policy aided and abetted the segregation of Americans through housing policies\, zoning ordinances\, economic development\, and urban revitalization. Although much of these aims have been discarded\, the policies are still with us. This discussion will identify which remnants are still with us and how cities can finally put them to rest. \n“Segregation\, Race\, and City Policy” will feature our special guests\, Edward J. Pinto and Mark Treskon. Edward J. Pinto is an American Enterprise Institute (AEI) resident fellow and director of AEI’s Housing Center. The Center monitors the US markets using a unique set of Housing Market Indicators.

His current projects include an evaluation of financial coaching programs and a study measuring the effects of arts-related initiatives on community development. Treskon has published peer-reviewed articles and book chapters on community-based planning\, home lending policy advocacy\, and the arts economy. \n  \nSubsidies in the City\n3/17/2021 \n \nThe competition among cities to woo Amazon’s new headquarters brought national attention to the use and abuse of economic development subsidies\, but the practice is not new. In fact\, the value of such subsidies is staggering and seems to show no signs of slowing. This discussion would help quantify the amount of subsidies\, how cities benefit\, and how public policy can be changed to improve outcomes for taxpayers. \nPlease join us for the fourth installment of our Spring 2021 Discussion Groups series\, The Modern American City: Past\, Present\, and Future. Our Spring Fellow Patrick Tuohey welcomes guests Heywood Sanders\, Professor of Public Administration at the University of Texas-San Antonio\, and Michael Lefaive\, Senior Director of the Morey Fiscal Policy Initiative for the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. \n  \nEffective Housing Policy\n3/24/2021 \n \nHousing policy is again capturing the national spotlight. Local policies have restricted the development of new housing stock and as a result\, in places like San Francisco and Seattle\, housing prices have skyrocketed. But even smaller cities like Kansas City have seen the impacts. What are the underlying causes of the phenomenon\, how great are the impacts\, and what policies can help alleviate the problem? \n“Effective Housing Policy” will feature our host Patrick Tuohey\, as well as special guests Emily Hamilton and Kirk McClure. Hamilton is a Senior Research Fellow and Director of the Urbanity Project at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University\, and McClure is a professor emeritus of urban planning in the University of Kansas School of Public Affairs and Administration. \n  \nOpportunities in the Gig Economy\n3/31/2021 \n \nTechnology companies such as Uber and Lyft have created opportunities for individuals to leverage their cars\, and their downtime\, to earn money on the side. Airbnb and Vrbo have done the same through short-term rentals. While these are some of the more familiar companies in the so-called gig economy\, they are by no means the only ones. What is the future of the gig economy\, and how should cities be reacting? \nPlease join us for the sixth installment of our Spring 2021 Discussion Groups series\, “The Modern American City: Past\, Present\, and Future.” Our Spring Fellow Patrick Tuohey welcomes guests Steve King\, Partner at Emergent Research\, and Arun Sundararajan\, Harold Price Professor of Entrepreneurship and Professor of Technology\, Operations and Statistics at New York University’s Stern School of Business. \n  \nPoverty in American Cities\n4/7/2021 \n \nCities large and small are facing some existential issues\, as we’ve covered over the past several weeks. Often they are saddled with outdated approaches or just simply bad habits. How can cities and towns learn from their mistakes and develop public policy in a way that is sustainable? \nPlease join us for the final installment of our Spring 2021 Discussion Groups series\, “The Modern American City: Past\, Present\, and Future.” Our Spring Fellow Patrick Tuohey welcomes guest Jesús Gerena\, CEO of Family Independence Initiative\, and Angela Rachidi\, Rowe Scholar in poverty studies at the American Enterprise Institute\, for a conversation on urban poverty and how to combat it.

SUMMARY:John Boyd and Air Power Theory
DESCRIPTION:Brash. Brilliant. Pompous. Ground-breaking. The list goes on but fails to capture the drive\, the talent\, the intellectual horsepower\, or the creativity of Colonel (R) John Boyd\, USAF. There are many scholars and Boyd fans who contend that Boyd is the greatest military theorist that you have never heard of\, but should have. Throughout his storied\, if tumultuous career\, Boyd developed a well-earned reputation for identifying problems of air combat\, aircraft design\, and military strategy and generating powerful solutions\, which usually challenged the system\, existing norms\, and business as usual\, but always advanced military theory and ideas. This presentation will explore John Boyd the person\, his intellectual processes\, and his ideas to better understand his contribution to strategy and warfighting. \nDuring the event\, submit your questions for Mr. Johnson to dolequestions@ku.edu for the question-and-answer portion of the program. \nThis program is closed-captioned for the hearing impaired. \nThis special program will be live-streamed to the institute’s YouTube channel and to its website\, www.doleinstitute.org.

SUMMARY:Denis Mahan and the Foundations of American Theory
DESCRIPTION:During the first half of the nineteenth century\, no military thinker arguably had more impact on the United States Army than Denis Hart Mahan. By the time he graduated at the top of his class at West Point in 1824\, Mahan had become a protégé of Superintendent Sylvanus Thayer\, whose wide-ranging reforms would win him recognition as “Father of the Military Academy.” In 1830\, Mahan accepted appointment as Professor of Civil and Military Engineering at West Point and carried his mentor’s work forward in the decades that followed. Mahan’s writings and influence on the officers who\, after surviving “Old Cobbon Sense’s” classroom\, would dominate the Army nearly to the end of the 19th century made him one of the most important figures in the evolution of American warfare. This talk will describe Mahan’s life\, his role in shaping the military academy\, the ideas that he promoted in the army\, and his place in the American military experience. \nSubmit your questions for Dr. Rafuse to dolequestions@ku.edu for the question-and-answer portion of the program. \nThis program is closed-captioned for the hearing impaired. \nThis special program will be live-streamed to the institute’s YouTube channel and to its website\, www.doleinstitute.org.

DESCRIPTION:The third installment of the series “A Conversation on Race” will feature the President of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum Bob Kendrick\, Scout for the New York Yankees Darryl Monroe\, and will be moderated by Senior Associate Director of the Institute\, Dr. Barbara W. Ballard. \n“Since the founding of the first professional baseball league in this country\, racism has been a persistent problem\,” said Director Bill Lacy. “For the third episode of ‘A Conversation on Race\,’ we will discuss the color barrier in baseball and the courageous men who broke through. Bob Kendrick is the ideal guest to explore this topic and we look forward to what will be a fascinating and insightful evening.” \nThe program will explore the factors that made Major League Baseball a flashpoint for civil rights in 1947\, more than a decade before the marches and rallies of the 1960s. The event streams the day before Jackie Robinson Day\, in which all Major League Baseball players wear jerseys with his number “42.” This program will discuss the man who became the focus of a nation as he walked on the field as the first professional black athlete in the U.S. to shatter the color barrier. \nBob Kendrick was named President of the NLBM in March of 2011. Kendrick has been responsible for the creation of several signature museum educational programs and events including the Hall of Game\, which annually honors former MLB greats who played the game in the spirit and signature style of the Negro Leagues. Kendrick has become one of the leading authorities on the topic of Negro Leagues Baseball history and its connection to issues relating to sports\, race\, and diversity. \nDarryl Monroe graduated from Lawrence High School in 1990 and went on to play baseball at KU from 1991-1994 where he was a member of the 1993 College World Series team. He was drafted in the 9th round by the Detroit Tigers in 1994 and played 4 years of minor league baseball with the Tigers and the Independent Minor Leagues.

He was the diplomatic advisor to the Minister of Defense from 1999 to 2002 and he went on to be First Secretary at the Belgian Embassy in Berlin. From 2003 to 2007\, Régibeau returned to Brussels as Head of the Private Office of the Minister of Defense.

SUMMARY:Donn Starry\, Active Defense\, and Airland Battle
DESCRIPTION:After the Vietnam War\, the US Army refocused itself on its primary peacetime mission since the end of the Second World War: the defense of NATO. However\, the Army leadership had to face the reality that the US Army was not capable of accomplishing this mission. In 1973\, the US Army did not have the trained personnel\, the technology\, or the fighting doctrine to defeat the Warsaw Pact forces led by the Soviet Union\, should those forces decide to invade the West. Over the next fifteen years that situation changed dramatically as the US Army and its NATO allies rebuild their capabilities first to counter a Soviet-led invasion of the West\, and by the end of the Cold War\, defeat the Warsaw Pact. Central to this rebirth of capability was the US Army warfighting doctrine of “Airland Battle.” General Donn Starry was at the center of the intellectual effort that created the Airland Battle doctrine\, and the training programs and technology that enabled it. The effectiveness of the Army’s efforts was a major contributor to the end of the Cold War\, and the great allied victory in Operation Desert Storm that followed immediately afterward. \nSubmit your questions for Dr. Louis DiMarco to dolequestions@ku.edu for the question-and-answer portion of the program. \nThis special program will be live-streamed to the institute’s YouTube channel and to its website\, www.doleinstitute.org. Due to continuing concerns regarding the novel coronavirus pandemic\, the program will only be available online. Follow the Dole Institute on Facebook\, Instagram\, or Twitter for updates regarding this and future programming. \n

SUMMARY:The Six Secret Teachings of Jiang Ziya
DESCRIPTION:The Six Secret Teachings of Jiang Ziya (Ta’i Kung) is the oldest of China’s Seven Military Classics. This foundational work from the Shang Dynasty (1600-1046 BCE) period purports to have originated more than five centuries before Sun Tzu (544-496 BCE). The six teachings are a record of conversations between Jiang and the future Zhou Kings Wen and Wu on defeating the Shang Dynasty. This book on civil-military relations\, organizing\, manning\, and fighting forces\, is attributed to Jiang Ziya\, who is purported to be China’s first general officer and strategist. This presentation explores the key themes and military advice offered in the six books\, with comparisons to Sun Tzu and suggestions on how this work might influence a modern Chinese Way of War. \nDr. Geoff Babb was commissioned from Bowdoin College in Brunswick\, Maine in 1973 as a US Army Military Intelligence Officer. After serving in the Defense Intelligence Agency as a ground forces analyst\, he was assigned to Monterey\, California\, Hong Kong\, and Beijing for language and area studies. He was then assigned to Joint and Army Headquarters in Hawaii. In 1991\, he joined the Command and General Staff College faculty at Fort Leavenworth. After retiring from the military\, he earned a Masters in East Asian Languages and Cultures\, and a Doctorate in History from the University of Kansas. He has published numerous book chapters and articles on China and Asia. He currently serves as a professor in the Department of Military History as its China hand. \nSubmit your questions for Dr. Babb to dolequestions@ku.edu for the question-and-answer portion of the program. \nThis special program will be live-streamed to the institute’s YouTube channel and to its website\, www.doleinstitute.org. Due to continuing concerns regarding the novel coronavirus pandemic\, the program will only be available online.

SUMMARY:President Juan Manuel Santos
DESCRIPTION:The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics at the University of Kansas will live-stream a special event featuring former Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos on Thursday\, June 10 at 7 p.m. CDT on the institute’s YouTube channel.\n“We are excited to welcome President Santos back to the institute\,” said Director Bill Lacy. “He will be discussing his new book about his work on ending the Colombian Civil War. His efforts to end the 50-year-long conflict led to him winning the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize.” \nIn his book The Battle for Peace\, Santos shares the lessons he learned about war and peace and how to build a successful negotiation process in the midst of a conflict where a resolution seemed impossible. While Santos is clear that there is no handbook for making peace\, he offers conflict-tested guidance on the critical parameters\, conditions\, and principles as well as rich detail on the innovations that made it possible for his nation to find common ground and a just solution. \nCopies of Santos’ book are available for purchase through the University Press of Kansas: https://kansaspress.ku.edu/978-0-7006-3066-0.html \nJuan Manuel Santos was president of Colombia from 2010 to 2018 and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2016. Prior to becoming president\, Santos had a long career of public service in Colombia\, including as minister of foreign trade\, minister of finance and public credit\, and minister of national defense. Santos prepared for these roles by attending the University of Kansas\, through postgraduate studies at the London School of Economics and Harvard University\, as a Fulbright Fellow at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy\, and in the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University. He is founder and chairman of the board of Compaz Center of Resources for Peace\, which works for the empowerment of victims\, the consolidation of peace\, the reduction of poverty and inequality\, and the defense of the environment in Colombia and the planet. \nThis special program will only be live-streamed to the institute’s YouTube channel and its website\, www.doleinstitute.org. Follow the Dole Institute on Facebook\, Instagram\, or Twitter for updates regarding this and future programming. \nThe KU Alumni Association features Santos on its current cover of Kansas Alumni\, its quarterly magazine\, and highlights an excerpt from his book. The magazine is available at kansasalumnimagazine.org. \nThis program is co-sponsored by the University Press of Kansas and the KU Alumni Association.

SUMMARY:Mikhail Tukhachevsky\, Soviet Theory\, and Operational Warfare
DESCRIPTION:After WWII\, many historians\, as well as military theorists and leaders\, focused on the German ability to restore mobility to warfare\, especially at the operational level\, in the early years of the war. Popularized as “Blitzkrieg\,” the Germans were often portrayed as the pioneers of this new form of warfare—far ahead of all other nations in 1939-40. However\, this view overlooks the tremendously far-sighted Operational doctrine of the Soviet Union that had reached a high degree of development. Building on some earlier Tsarist era examples (Suvorov\, Brusilov)\, a crop of Soviet military leaders emerged from their own Civil with fresh ideas for the future of warfare. Along with other prescient theorists (for example\, Frunze\, Svechin\, Triandifillov\, and Isserson)\, Mikhail Nikolayevich Tukhachevsky developed a doctrine of the operational art that reached a high-point with the publication of the Red Army’s Provisional Field Regulations of 1936. The regulations posited a doctrine of deep battle far ahead of German doctrine at the time. Sadly for the Soviets\, most of the great wave of new thinkers\, to include Tukahchevsky\, were executed in Stalin’s purges before WWII\, and the doctrine was watered down. \nDr. Curtis S. King is an associate professor for the Staff Ride Team\, Combat Studies Institute\, Fort Leavenworth\, Kansas. He graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1982 with a B.S. in History and English Literature. After various assignments\, Dr. King returned to the Military Academy as an instructor in 1992. In 1998\, he became a professor at the Combat Studies Institute (CSI). While at CSI\, Dr. King received his Ph.D in Russian and Soviet history (1998) from the University of Pennsylvania and spent a 6-month tour in Sarajevo\, Bosnia (1999-2000) as a NATO historian. Dr. King retired from the Army in May 2002. In October 2002\, he was hired to the staff ride team of CSI as a civilian associate professor and is an adjunct professor at Kansas State University. He has published numerous articles and entries to edited works on a wide variety of military history topics. \nSubmit your questions for Dr. King to dolequestions@ku.edu for the question-and-answer portion of the program. \nThis special program will be live-streamed to the institute’s YouTube channel and to its website\, www.doleinstitute.org. Due to continuing concerns regarding the novel coronavirus pandemic\, the program will only be available online.

SUMMARY:Pre-World War I French Military Doctrine and its Consequences
DESCRIPTION:Ft. Leavenworth: Pre-World War I French Military Doctrine and its Consequences\nRichard Faulkner\nOctober 7\, 2021 | 3 p.m. \nIn the years prior to World War I\, the French military wrestled with how to defend itself against a larger\, more industrialized foe. Like the Great War’s other major combatants\, the French pre-war doctrine proved to be ill-suited to meet the realities of the 1914 battlefield. This lecture will examine the factors that influenced the French Army’s pre-war doctrine\, how the army envisioned fighting “the next great war\,” and how it adapted its tactical strategy from 1915 to 1918\, after its peacetime doctrine failed to secure France’s hope for victory in 1914. \nThe Ft. Leavenworth Series \nThe Ft. Leavenworth Series is an annual roster of lectures focusing on significant historical events\, usually with an emphasis on military history. Each lecture is presented by faculty from the United States Army Command and General Staff College in Ft. Leavenworth\, Kansas. Established by General William Tecumseh Sherman in 1881\, the CGSC is the graduate college for U.S. Army and sister service officers. The esteemed faculty and guests of the CGSC provide unique and captivating insights into the history of military conflict from the ancient to the modern ages at the Dole Institute of Politics. \nThe Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics is dedicated to promoting political and civic participation as well as civil discourse in a bipartisan\, philosophically balanced manner. It is located on KU’s West Campus and houses the Dole Archive and Special Collections. Through its robust public programming\, congressional archive and museum\, the Dole Institute strives to celebrate public service and the legacies of U.S. Senators Bob Dole and Elizabeth Dole.

SUMMARY:A Conversation on Race Part IV: The Extraordinary Life of Cyclist Major Taylor\, America’s First Black Sports Hero
DESCRIPTION:Investigative political reporter and author Michael Kranish will join us for our fourth installment of our A Conversation on Race series. He will discuss the life\, tribulations\, and career of Major Taylor\, the first American-born Black world champion in any sport\, fifty years before Jackie Robinson became a Major League baseball player. Kranish spent years collecting thousands of articles written about Taylor for his book\, “The World’s Fastest Man: The Extraordinary Life of Cyclist Major Taylor\, America’s First Black Sports Hero\,” in which he tells the story of how Taylor overcame insurmountable odds to become a world-class athlete during the Jim Crow era. Taylor’s trailblazing accomplishments had widespread impact across society and are relevant to conversations we are having about African American athletes today. \nThis program includes a book sale and signing with the author.
