October 26, 2012
The Michael S. Ansari Africa Center and Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security launched the Atlantic Council’s Counter-Piracy Task Force (CPTF) report, Managing the Global Response to Maritime Piracy.

The event featured a keynote speech by Andrew Shapiro, assistant secretary of state for political-military affairs. Barry Pavel, director, Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security, and J. Peter Pham, director, Michael S. Ansari Africa Center, presented the report and participated in a Q&A session with the audience.
