Friday 12 February 2010 (17h30 to 19h00)
The Centre for Conflict Resolution (CCR), Cape Town, South Africa, invites you and members of your organisation to the public dialogue seminar "South Africa and Cuba: The Legacy of Cuito Cuanavale".
The University of Pennsylvania "Global Go To Think Tank Rankings" for 2009, a comprehensive ranking of 6,305 think tanks worldwide in nearly 170 countries, was launched at the United Nations in January 201. For the second consecutive year, the survey ranks the Centre for Conflict Resolution (CCR) as the leading think tank in Africa, and the only African organisation listed in the top 50 non-US think tanks globally. The report was written by James McGann of the University of Pennsylvania.
One year after the US president's historic election, CCR Executive Director, Dr Adekeye Adebajo, asks whether Obama is in danger of abandoning the great expectations that brought him to power and sacrificing his vision of a peaceful and caring United States upon the altar of political pragmatism.
CCR's Annual Report 2007-2008 is a comprehensive overview of the work of the Centre for Conflict Resolution during the last two years. Highlights of the report include a 40-year history of CCR, its ranking as Africa's leading think tank in 2008, and messages of congratulations and support from partners and stakeholders.
CCR's latest policy advisory group seminar report, titled "Taming the Dragon? Defining Africa's Interests at the Forum on China-Africa Co-operation (FOCAC)", examines how Africa's 53 states define and articulate their geo-strategic interests and policies for engaging China within FOCAC, which held its fourth summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, in November 2009.
