The editor’s note recalled a line from the very first journal’s opening reflection. “We stand on the edge of a world we barely recognize,” wrote the first editor-in-chief in 2000. Since that statement was written, Kennedy School students experienced September 11, economic recessions, multiple wars, increasing partisanship, and now a pandemic. To say we have been forged would be an understatement. Since this journal began, our world has been on edge and undergoing rapid change. The fundamental policy question of our time—perhaps of all time—is whether or not we are going to live together in concord. This question has animated the public activities of humans since government-by-citizen began thousands of years ago. After COVID-19, it is as relevant to our political divides as the divide between the Optimates and Populares of Ancient Rome. Our task then is to boldly strike forth, out into this new world, and ensure that all have an equal seat at the table. In this emerging decade, lawmakers and leaders must solve public challenges with each other instead of at the expense of each other. The alternative is to divide ourselves up—to put our heads down, write off who we are told to ignore, and only accept what policies we are told to support. We are proud to have worked with our fellow managing and associate editors on this 21st edition of the Kennedy School Review. In the pages ahead, you will find policy ideas that span a wide range of ideological viewpoints and intellectual traditions. Our authors explore classical liberalism and health policy, the rise of vehicular homelessness, youth movements in Peru, and many other exciting policy areas. We also publish exclusive interviews with Kennedy School scholars and professors who answer questions about regaining trust in the media, where the US–China relationship is headed, and what is to be the future of the Republican Party and American politics. This should be our goal at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government: to include, to listen, to understand, to consider, and then to put forth the best ideas that can build a brighter, more prosperous future for our country and the world. Yes, the world we stand on the edge of now is one we barely recognize. But in this time of uncertainty there is also great opportunity.

Today, a number of insightful people still see the shimmer of how China and the U.S. can cooperate. The intelligent choice for matching opponents when making close chase on the running track of human history is to focus on improving themselves rather than tripping over one another.

On behalf of our chairman, Senator Roger Wicker, and our co-chairman, Representative Chris Smith, I am pleased to welcome you to today’s screening of “Trafficked.” Human trafficking remains an entrenched, but not an intractable, problem in the United States and around the world.

Since the 1990s, members of the Helsinki Commission, especially our co-chairman, Representative Chris Smith, have been very active in combating human trafficking.

Beneath these particular intersections lies a crucial truth—slavery is a global business that thrives on the callous exploitation of the labor activity of a vast and highly vulnerable subclass of people whose brutalization is tacitly accepted by every participant in the global economy, from corporations to consumers. I am deeply gratified to edit Social Inclusion’s second issue on human trafficking and modern slavery.

    Pendle Sculpture Trail in an Atmospheric Woodland Setting

    Walk distance: It is approximately 1 mile to get to the trail from Barley Car Park including one uphill stretch and one steep path. Once in Aitken Wood, which is situated on a slope, you could easily walk another mile walking around. Please wear stout footwear as there can be some muddy stretches after wet weather. Allow around 2 to 3 hours for your visit. See back cover for details on how to book a tramper vehicle for easier access to the wood for people with walking difficulties. Visit the Pendle Sculpture Trail in an atmospheric woodland setting. Art, history and nature come together against the stunning backdrop of Pendle Hill. Four artists have created a unique and intriguing range of sculptures. Their work is inspired by the history of the Pendle Witches of 1612 and the natural world in this wild and beautiful corner of Lancashire. A Witches Plaque Explore the peaceful setting of Aitken Wood to find ceramic plaques by Sarah McDade. She’s designed each one individually to symbolise the ten people from Pendle who were accused of witchcraft over 400 years ago. You’ll also find an inspiring range of sculptures, large and small, which are created from wood, steel and stone, including Philippe Handford’s amazing The Artists (as pictured here left to right) are Philippe Handford (Lead curving tree sculptures.
