CFR Scholars Return from AfPak Region This morning CFR fellows Max Boot and Daniel Markey, both just back from trips to Afghanistan and Pakistan, discussed their recommendations for U.S. policy in the region, as well as Secretary of State Clinton's recent trip to Pakistan, with CFR.org's Editor Robert McMahon. Their discussion can be heard by clicking here after 4 p.m. ET today. On Monday, November 2, at 12:00 p.m. ET, Max Boot will chat live online with Politico.com's Fred Barbash on U.S. strategy in Afghanistan. To participate, visit this page shortly before noon to register and submit your question.     New Working Paper by the Squam Lake Group A new Working Group Paper assesses the holes in the United States' financial regulatory framework for handling those financial institutions deemed "too big to fail." The paper endorses legislation that would give authorities the power to resolve such institutions when they falter and require the creation of "living wills." Improving Resolution Options for Systemically Relevant Financial Institutions is the seventh in the Squam Lake Working Group series on financial regulation distributed by the Center for Geoeconomic Studies.     CFR Experts in the News China (10/29): Jerome Cohen asks "can contemporary Chinese political culture sustain a constitutional court?" in the South China Morning Post.
