Each week, the Belfer Center welcomes government officials, policymakers, and experts from around the world to share their insights and diverse views on critical current issues. These guests present on topics of major importance to the Center – from the Iranian nuclear program and the nuclear stockpile in Russia to the crisis in Darfur and reduction of climate disruption in the oceans.

Center faculty and fellows, along with Kennedy School students and scholars from the greater Boston community, exchange ideas, insights, and questions, and brainstorm with speakers on policy approaches and potential solutions to global challenges. These weekly conversations contribute significantly to the Belfer Center’s mission of advancing policy-relevant knowledge about international security and other vital areas where science, technology, and international affairs intersect.

Worst of the Worst: Dealing with Repressive and Rogue Nations

"This volume makes an unparalleled contribution to the growing and vital field of measurement and human rights. [The book] offers a useful categorization and assessment of repressive and 'rogue' states, allowing us to measure the extenet of repressive state behavior more accurately. His [Rotberg] work should embolden external critiques and facilitate more transparent and accountable foreign policy."

--Sarah Sewall, Director, Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, Harvard University
