Sié Chéou-Kang Center for International Security and Diplomacy

Welcome to the Sié Chéou-Kang Center for International Security and Diplomacy. In academic year 2025-2026, the Sié Center remains focused on programming for students, faculty, and the broader community, as well as faculty research. Our events this quarter highlight the terrible human costs and ongoing policy dilemmas of conflict, including Russia’s war in Ukraine; the recasting of the global economic order under the United States’ imposition of tariffs across the globe; the power of cultural diplomacy, through both sports and the arts, with a special event on the winter Olympics; and the domestic political and foreign policy implications for the United States and the world of a second term under President Trump. We are also planning student simulations and data workshops with esteemed practitioners and faculty, as well as programming this spring on nuclear proliferation, democratic erosion, and navigating a complex energy transition in the context of climate change. Please check back on our site regularly for updates!
