America's Extraordinary Economic Gamble The ascent of Elon Musk Germany’s miserable coalition Winter Olympics: slope-a-dope Guerrilla drones FEBRUARY 10TH–16TH 2018 Running hot America’s extraordinary economic gamble Only 1 in 10 organizations can deliver all of their strategic initiatives successfully! See what Leaders are doing at www.brightline.org/eiu-report Strategy has little value until it is implemented. In a world where disruption can happen overnight, moving rapidly from strategy design to delivery is critical. To understand why many organizations fail to bridge the gap between strategy design and delivery, Brightline Initiative commissioned The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) to conduct a global multi-sector survey of 500 senior executives from companies with annual revenues of $1 billion or more.

  • How the Political Red Lines Disappeared: a Modern History of American Democratic Norm Decline
    Wesleyan University The Honors College How the Political Red Lines Disappeared: A Modern History of American Democratic Norm Decline by Peter Wallace Dunphy Class of 2018 A thesis submitted to the faculty of Wesleyan University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts with Departmental Honors in Government and American Studies Middletown, Connecticut April, 2018 1 “Well, when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.” - Richard Nixon 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Hillary Clinton once said it takes a village to raise a child. I think it took closer to a metropolis to write this thesis. I would be remiss if I did not first thank Professor Logan Dancey for serving as my thesis advisor. The most rewarding part of writing a thesis was cultivating an intellectual relationship with Professor Dancey. Thank you for providing me with academic, professional, and emotional encouragement throughout this year-long process. If anyone high up in the Government Department is reading this, I hope this serves as a strong recommendation to give Professor Dancey tenure. Throughout the year, I also had the immense pleasure of working with the Congressional Politics and Elections Lab to workshop theses and independent research. This group of fantastic scholars, Emma Solomon, Carly King, Tess Counts, and Sam Prescott, both provided incredible feedback while also serving as a fantastic way to spend every Tuesday night. Appreciation beyond words must be given to Frank Tucci, who has continued to support me throughout this entire endeavor, no matter how annoying it must have been to hear me talk about democratic norms for an entire year.
