India: Police Suspended Amid Public Outcry after Gang Rape of Dalit Woman.  Five senior police officers on Friday were suspended for attempting to destroy evidence in the alleged gang rape and murder of a 19-year-old Dalit woman that has triggered mass protests across India.  The police cremated the body against the wishes of her family and religious custom.  This case among other brutal rapes and murders of young girls in Dalit over the past month has provoked outrage and exposed the ongoing use of sexual violence as a tool of oppression and revenge against lower caste communities in India.  Al Jazeera CNN The Guardian

AEI'S KAREN YOUNG:  WOMEN, WAR & WINNING CONFLICT

KAREN YOUNG:  AEI
Half of the National Security Council's leaders are reportedly women, according to 
​The Federalist. "Twelve of the 24 directorates are led by women now, including three of the six regional directorates that cover the world," says the article, which mentions five of them:
  • "Dr. Deborah Birx is the physician and diplomat serving as head of the coronavirus response";
  • "Allison Hooker is the senior director in charge of Asia";
  • "Elizabeth Erin Walsh has been NSC's senior director for African affairs";
  • "Sue J. Bai is deputy assistant to the president and principal deputy legal adviser to the NSC";
  • And "Julia Nesheiwat is the senior director for homeland security affairs."
I recently interviewed author and former CIA officer Tracy Walder, author of The Unexpected Spy: From the CIA to the FBI, My Secret Life Taking Down Some of the World’s Most Notorious Terrorists and am eager to read Sarah Carlson's new book, In the Dark of War: A CIA Officer's Inside Account of the U.S. Evacuation from Libya, which comes out this Tuesday. This new bunch of authors follows in the footsteps of former CIA officer Nada Bakos, who I interviewed last summer about her book, The Targeter: My Life in the CIA, Hunting Terrorists and Challenging the White House. It's refreshing to get a whole different perspective on what it means to serve the country as a spy from a whole new generation (and gender) of authors.

Ryan Streeter | National Review
Conservative policymakers need to rediscover that there is much more to the American economy than managers and workers. Dynamism is not a given, and if we do not intentionally cultivate it at the community level all across the country, the future will be bleaker for managers and workers alike.  Read more.

The start of the new year was tempered and made somber and more serious by the loss of AEI’s great friend Gertrude Himmelfarb. Known to family and friends as Bea Kristol (1922–2019), she was a national treasure and a highly valued member of the AEI family for more than three decades.  Full Story

Rereading Thucydides: Where are the Women? 
By Kate Tollenaar, Strategy Bridge: "In 1994, John Keegan wrote, “If warfare is as old as history and as universal as mankind, we must now enter the supremely important limitation that it is an entirely masculine activity.”"
'I Run Wargames. Too Often, I Am the Only Woman in the Room
'
RAND's Becca Wasser designs, runs, and manages wargames for U.S. military and government officials. In wargaming, you have to learn by doing, she says. But women face significant barriers to entering—and advancing in—the field. Why is it important to have gender diversity in wargaming? Without women leaders, designers, or players in these games, opportunities to uncover new and innovative strategies are falling by the wayside. Plus, she says: "If women have a place on the battlefield...then I have a place in wargaming." Read more »
