The Importance and Impact of the Strategic Partnership between the US and South Korea

Thursday, November 21, 2024 from 11:30 am – 2 pm

Jenny Town, Kevin L. Miller and Iliana Ragnone

This panel is cohosted by the Santa Fe World Affairs Forum, the Santa Fe Community College and the Stimson Center. It is sponsored by the Korea Foundation

US national security in the Asia-Pacific hinges on its bilateral alliances with Pacific Rim countries. South Korea is and has been a crucial part of this relationship since the end of World War II. Today, the US-South Korea alliance remains a cornerstone to peace and stability throughout the Pacific. It may well become even more so globally. We have more troops stationed in South Korea than in any other Asian country including neighboring Japan. Many US veterans have served in South Korea and US active duty military continue to head that way. This relationship has kept North Korea, China and Russia at bay. Over the years, South Korea has prospered economically as it moved from dictatorship to democracy. The US – nationally and locally – has quietly benefited from those changes.

Now, as geopolitical winds shift, the Korean Peninsula is again in the international spotlight – most recently with North Korea’s recent decision to supply weapons and troops to aid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. How will this impact South Korea’s role geopolitically and how will leadership decisions in both the US and South Korea affect US national security strategy in addressing this and other significant global issues.

The Panelists:

Jenny Town is a Senior Fellow at the Stimson Center and the Director of Stimson’s Korea Program and 38 North. Her areas of expertise include North Korea, US-DPRK relations, US-ROK alliance relations and extended deterrence, and Northeast Asia regional security.

Far-Right Extremism is still on the Menu: Trends in the Violent Far-Right Movement

Friday, October 18, 2024 from 12 noon – 2 pm

Michaela Millender

Nearly four years after the insurrection on January 6, far-right violent extremist groups and militias have recalibrated, adapted, and proliferated. The convergence of far-right ideologies and conspiracy theories which created a perfect environment for the attack on the US Capitol is not only present today but has deepened alongside social polarization. This talk will examine the current trends within the violent far-right movement both in the US and globally, and the potential future outlook.

Michaela Millender is a Research Analyst at The Soufan Center. Her research focuses on far-right extremism and terrorism, the destruction of cultural heritage, and the intersection of global security with migration, humanitarian access, and multilateral institutions, such as the United Nations. Prior to joining The Soufan Center, Michaela served as a research analyst at the Global Disinformation Index, as well as for the United Nation’s UN75 Initiative which produced the report “UN75: The Future We Want, the UN We Need”.

She also spent several years working in the non-profit sector where she provided support in cross-cultural communication, leadership development, grant management, and event coordination. Michaela was awarded a Master of Science in Global Affairs from New York University’s Center for Global Affairs and her B.A is from the University of Oklahoma’s College of International Studies in International and Area Studies with a minor in Italian language.

Evolution of the Mexican Drug Cartels Including Trafficking of the Latest Synthetic Drugs – Fentanyl and Methamphetamine

March 16, 2023

Mike Vigil

Mike Vigil grew up in Espanola and was an undercover DEA agent in Colombia and Mexico infiltrating Pablo Escobar and Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman’s drug cartels.

He was the former Chief of International Operations for the Drug Enforcement Administration, one of the most highly decorated agents within the agency and responsible for numerous multinational operations, the largest involved 36 countries. Vigil was made an honorary General by the government of Afghanistan and given the key to the city of Shanghai by China. He was given an Admiral’s sword by the former president of the Dominican Republic, Hipolito Mejia. He was also responsible for developing global intelligence sharing platforms.

After graduating from New Mexico State University, he joined the DEA academy in Washington, D.C., in 1973 at the age of 22.

For most of his 31 year career, his job was to infiltrate Latin America’s drug cartels, posing as a Mexican drug trafficker. During his time with the agency, Mike Vigil never told his Española family about his dangerous work. But in a 370-page autobiography titled DEAL, he described some of his riskiest missions. In addition to DEAL, he has written Metal Coffins: The Blood Alliance Cartel, Narco Queen, and The Land of Enchantment Cartel.

In the 1980s, he said that he sat next to Colombia’s drug kingpin Pablo Escobar at soccer games. “The reason I wrote the book is to leave a legacy behind for my family,” Vigil said. “It’s also, secondarily, an education tool for people to see what the drug trade is really all about.”

DEAL starts with an anecdote of an undercover operation in the Mexican state of Sonora in the 1970s, when Vigil went undercover to meet two drug traffickers who worked for Guadalajara cartel leader Rafael Caro Quintero. In 1985, Quintero tortured and killed a DEA agent. As Vigil waited to exchange his fake money with the traffickers for three tons of marijuana, a Mexican federal agent with him got impatient, pointed his gun at one of the drug traffickers, blowing Vigil’s cover. “The trafficker shot [the agent] twice in the head, and I remember seeing a spray of blood coming out of his head,” Vigil recalled. The drug trafficker also shot at Vigil twice, but he missed. And so it went throughout his incredible and risky career south of the border.

Download PowerPoint Presentation Here

SFWAF program with Jeff Bingaman, former US Senator, New Mexico discussing his new book “BREAKDOWN: LESSONS FOR A CONGRESS IN CRISIS”.

“I will explain the main points I make in the book, both about the problems I saw develop in the workings of Congress, and about the increased pressures members of Congress face as they try to act in the public interest. I will also discuss eight of the challenges Congress tried to deal with—where we succeeded and where we failed.”

Jeff Bingaman was born on October 3, 1943. He grew up in the southwestern New Mexico community of Silver City. His father was a chemistry professor and chair of the science department at Western New Mexico University. His mother taught in the public schools.

After graduating from Western (now Silver) High School in 1961, Jeff attended Harvard College and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in government in 1965. He then entered Stanford Law School where he met, and later married, fellow law student Anne Kovacovich.

Upon earning his law degree from Stanford in 1968, Jeff and Anne returned to New Mexico. They have one son, John.

After law school, Jeff spent one year as a New Mexico Assistant Attorney General and eight years in private law practice in Santa Fe. He ran for Attorney General of New Mexico in 1978 and served four years in that position. In 1982 voters elected him to the United States Senate. At the end of his fifth term, he chose not to seek re-election and completed his service in the Senate on January 3, 2013.

At the time of his retirement from the Senate, he was chair of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee. He also served on the Finance Committee, the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee and the Joint Economic Committee.

China and the Americas: Risks and Rewards

April 14, 2021

Eric Farnsworth

China’s entry in the Americas represents the single biggest shift in hemispheric affairs this century. Much of Latin America now counts China as its first or second trade partner, and investment has increased dramatically. The covid pandemic has accelerated China’s efforts across the region further. Meanwhile, the United States has increasingly warned emerging markets worldwide of the risks of “corrosive capital” and the implications of economic and political linkages with Beijing. Why the concern? And what do policy makers, observers, and citizens need to know about China’s continued regional embrace?

Eric Farnsworth has led the Washington office of the Council of the Americas and the Americas Society since 2003, during which time the stature and influence of the organization has grown significantly. He maintains an important thought leadership and advocacy role across the broad range of issues affecting the Western Hemisphere, including U.S. relations, economic development, trade, and energy; Asia-Latin American relations and global governance issues; security; and democracy. He is a widely-sought after conference speaker and media commentator, and has published numerous articles and opinion pieces in leading newspapers and policy journals.

Mr. Farnsworth began his career in Washington with the US Department of State. During his time in government he served in positions of increasing responsibility in the foreign policy and trade communities, from Western Hemisphere Affairs at State to the Office of the US Trade Representative, culminating in a three and a half year appointment as the senior advisor to the White House Special Envoy for the Americas. In this capacity he played an important role in developing and implementing the administration’s policies toward the Western Hemisphere.

Previously, Mr. Farnsworth was managing director of Manatt Jones Global Strategies, an advisory and strategic consulting group. He also worked in the global public policy division of Bristol-Myers Squibb, and in the US Senate with Sam Nunn (D-GA) and the US House of Representatives with John Edward Porter (R-IL). In 2016 he was decorated by the King of Spain for his work to promote bilateral and regional relations.
