CACI Forum with the Jamestown Foundation

We have learned from Paul Goble that he has experienced medical complications and has therefore been admitted to the hospital for observation. Because of this, he will not be able to travel to Washington for the Forum and associated events on Monday.
 
CACI will reschedule the Forum as soon as we receive an "all clear" from Paul Goble. 
 
Meanwhile, his many friends send him warm wishes for a quick return to his normal routine.

CACI Forum

"The Ukraine Crisis, the Northern Distribution Network, and Continental Transport"

On June 10, CACI Forum's guest speaker, Dr. Andris Spruds, co-editor of an important new book on the Northern Distribution Network linking the Baltic and Afghanistan, will discuss the future of this network, including its prospective commercialization beyond 2014.  He is joined by Dr. S. Frederick Starr, a chapter contributor to the book.  Attendees are invited to participate in a wide-ranging discussion exploring the broad impact of events in Ukraine on this continental corridor, and on the emerging network of transport, trade, and security alliances in the Caucasus and Central Asia.
