On behalf of the Council on Foreign Relations
(CFR), I invite you to participate in the final session of the
Winter/Spring 2013 CFR Academic Conference Call series on Thursday,
April 25, from 9:00 – 10:00 AM in WY 226. Adam Segal,
CFR's Maurice R. Greenberg senior fellow for China studies, will
discuss U.S.-China relations through the lens of cybersecurity issues.
Dr. Segal is an expert on security issues,
technology development, and Chinese domestic and foreign policy, and
currently leads CFR's Cyberconflict and Cybersecurity initiative. His
recent book "Advantage: How American Innovation Can
Overcome the Asian Challenge" looks at the technological rise of Asia.
Dr. Segal was the project director for a CFR-sponsored Independent Task
Force on Chinese military modernization. Before coming to CFR, he was an
arms control analyst for the China project
at the Union of Concerned Scientists, where he wrote about missile
defense, nuclear weapons, and Asian security issues. Dr. Segal has been a
visiting scholar at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Center
for International Studies, the Shanghai Academy
of Social Sciences, and Tsinghua University in Beijing.
