SUMMARY:Alternatives to Incarceration in Latin America and the Caribbean
DESCRIPTION:Drug laws and the region’s untenable prison crisis are at the center of the drug policy debate in Latin America and the Caribbean. The incarceration of low-level drug offenders for exceptionally long sentences has left the region’s prisons bursting at the seams; the impact is not only felt by those incarcerated\, but also by their families and communities. Cutting edge research by the Colectivo de Estudios Drogas y Derecho (Research Consortium on Drugs and the Law\, CEDD) and the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) sheds new light on the problem and efforts to address it through alternatives to incarceration. \nThe latest investigation carried out by CEDD\, which brings together researchers from 9 Latin American countries\, shows that despite the lively debate taking place across the region\, the number of people incarcerated for drug offenses continues to grow. The SSRC’s Drugs\, Security and Democracy (DSD) Program is carrying out an investigation on drug courts in Latin America and the Caribbean. The research to date offers an analysis and critique of drug courts as a public policy option that is increasingly under consideration by Latin American and Caribbean countries\, and the lessons to be learned from the U.S. experience. The session will conclude with a discussion of other alternatives to incarceration\, including measures taken prior to the initiation of a criminal proceeding.

SUMMARY:2017 College and University Fund for the Social Sciences Conference
DESCRIPTION:The inaugural gathering of the College and University Fund for the Social Sciences brought together representatives from the then thirty-five institutional members of the Fund for a full day to discuss opportunities and challenges for the social sciences on their campuses and more broadly\, and to explore the concerns of the SSRC’s recently launched To Secure Knowledge Task Force. Born from the SSRC’s essential obligation to support the infrastructure of social research\, the College and University Fund community discussed the current state of social science research\, the integrity and accessibility of data and national statistical systems\, and the institutional arrangements necessary for social research and policy knowledge. \nThe members of the Fund will meet every eighteen to twenty-four months to explore important topics in the social sciences.

SUMMARY:Abe Global Houston | Confronting Climate Change: What Can the US and Japan Contribute to Creating Sustainable Societies?
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nPlease click here to view a video of the event. \nEnergy-intensive production has been both a leading contributor to climate change as well as one of the keys to modern economic growth over the last several centuries. In the post-WWII era\, the “economic miracles” of Asian growth—starting with Japan\, and followed by South Korea\, Taiwan\, China\, and now increasingly India—have lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. At the same time\, these “economic miracles” have created huge pollution problems which have adversely affected the health of millions of people while speeding up the effects of climate change. \nSome early developers from this group—including Japan—have made efforts to clean up their air and water\, created more energy efficient economies\, lowered their carbon footprints and contributed to initiatives to slow global warming. The Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster forced Japan to take even more aggressive action to reduce energy consumption and lessen its impact on the global environment. In contrast\, the United States\, as a sizeable nation-state both in its geographic area and economy\, is one of the world’s largest polluters and recently made recent headlines when it withdrew from the Paris Agreement negotiated at the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21). \nPutting into place effective measures to curtail climate change while creating sustainable societies requires international cooperation. The series of extreme weather events in the US this fall are only the most recent disasters to remind us of climate change’s threat to our economy\, our society\, and our individual daily lives. \nOver the last 25 years\, the Abe Fellowship Program has supported a number of fellows whose research projects address the issues related to climate change and environmental degradation. For this event\, a selection of these expert fellows addressed strategies for limiting carbon emissions while sustaining growth\, to what extent renewable energies can contribute in slowing climate change\, and other issues pertinent to climate change and sustainable societies. \n  \nA new initiative of the Abe Fellowship Program\, the Abe Fellows Global Forum (Abe Global) is designed to bring Abe Fellow research and expertise on pressing issues of global concern to broader audiences. Abe Global will host several events each year in partnership with academic and civic organizations throughout the United States. The Abe Fellowship Program is a partnership between the Social Science Research Council and the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership. \nFlooding from Hurricane Harvey Image Credit: SC National Guard/Flickr (All rights reserved)
