WILSON CENTER NEWS
Gala to Honor Lee H. Hamilton, President and Director
On October 5, the Woodrow Wilson Center will host a Gala to honor Lee H. Hamilton, who will step down as its president and director later this year. This event, which will take place at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., will pay tribute to Hamilton for his leadership of the Center in the first decade of the 21st century and celebrate his many legacies as one of the most highly respected statesmen in the United States today.
As Lee Hamilton Steps Down, Colleagues Reflect on his Contributions
This fall, after 12 years of esteemed leadership, Lee H. Hamilton will step down as the Woodrow Wilson Center's president and director. His colleagues agree the Center has become a more vibrant and relevant institution under his leadership.
The Golden Age of Hamilton
When he arrived after 34 years of distinguished service in the U.S. House of Representatives, Lee Hamilton found the Center mired in problems of funding and governance. Assisted by a few talented Hill colleagues, Hamilton led the effort to resolve some of these problems and sharpened the focus of the Center's research to more policy-relevant topics, writes Senior Scholar Sam Wells.
Netanyahu's the Key
Of all the questions hovering over the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations in Egypt, the most intriguing and consequential are these: who is Benjamin Netanyahu, and is he willing to break his sacred taboos on issues like Jerusalem and borders to reach a historic agreement with the Palestinians? As important as Obama and Abbas are to the negotiations, Netanyahu is the key, writes Public Policy Scholar Aaron David Miller.
Tackling Youth Unemployment in Kenya
Kenya's youth unemployment rate stands at 65%, among the highest in the world. OSI New African Voices Scholar Margaret Wamuyu Muthee explains why Kenya must either find a solution before its 2012 elections fast-approaching or risk renewed violence.
