Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security
The Atlantic Council’s flagship International Security Program was relaunched as the Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security in September 2012. The Scowcroft Center continues the Council's long-standing focus on NATO and the transatlantic partnership, while also studying 'over the horizon' regional and functional security challenges to the United States, its allies, and partners. The Scowcroft Center works collaboratively with the Council's other regional and functional programs to produce analysis with a global perspective. The Center will honor General Brent Scowcroft’s legacy of service and embody his ethos of non-partisan commitment to the cause of international security, support for US international leadership in cooperation with allies and partners, and legacy of mentorship to the next generation of leaders. General James L. Jones is the Center’s founding chairman and Ellen Tauscher, George Lund, and Virginia A. Mulberger serve as the vice chairs. Barry Pavel, holder of the Center’s Arnold Kanter Chair, will lead the program’s day-to-day activities as its director.Work within the Scowcroft Center orients around the following seven practice areas:
| Transatlantic Security | Strategic Foresight Initiative |
| Cyber Statecraft Initiative | Emerging Defense Challenges Initiative |
| Middle East Security Initiative | Asia Security Initiative |
| Brent Scowcroft Leadership Network |

Robert A. Manning | May 13, 2013

South Korean President Park Geun-hye’s summit with US President Barack Obama certainly had its share of symbolism: the first foreign trip of the ROK’s new first woman President, 60th anniversary of the US-ROK alliance, and US-ROK messages to North Korea, to Japan and China.
