Salzburg Global Seminar 2010 Salzburg Global Fellowship Events
The Salzburg Global Seminar is excited to make its first announcement of events for its Fellows in 2010 and ask for feedback and suggestions from Fellows on the events as they are being planned. We hope that Fellows interested in the topics proposed will contribute to these programs by making suggestions about subtopics to be addressed under the main topics listed and also potential partners and speakers for these events.

We will continue to update this list with additional events as planning progresses. If you would like to submit a suggestion for a Fellowship event, please let us know! Though resources for planning such events are limited, the Seminar is happy to hear from you regarding ways in which we can bring together Fellows and supporters worldwide to continue seeking solutions to today's global challenges.

Mobilizing Democracy to Tackle Climate Change

The Do's and Don'ts of Intervention
June 4-7, 2010 - Klingenthal, France
What principles should govern the behaviour of external actors – military and civilian – deployed to help countries in conflict or post-conflict situations achieve peace and stability? The last two decades have seen the rise and fall of doctrines around liberal intervention, including suppositions about consequences for security, managing reconstruction, and exit. This event, hosted by the Goethe Foundation, will look to explore these and other questions and ask what lessons can be applied to a present case, Afghanistan.
