Through their internships, these students gain valuable experience and insight in public policy, communications, and administration. “I learned about so many different aspects of communications work,” noted Emily Simmons, an intern from Pennsyl vania State University, who worked with Grace Terzian, Hudson’s Vice President for Com- munications, and Rachel Currie, Hudson’s Managing Editor. This year, two Hudson interns, Jawanshir Rasikh, an Afghan Ful - bright student at James Madison Uni versity, and Mariam Sabri, a student at Mt. Holyoke College from Karachi, Pakistan, organized a sem- inar that brought together students from Pakistan and Afghanistan to dis cuss the many challenges and opportunities facing their nations, which have often had thorny relations. The panels covered such key issues as militant Islamist groups, democracy and the establishment of the rule of law, education, poverty, and the future of moderate Islam in both countries. Hudson’s internship program is run by Hudson Research Associate and Communications Coordinator Ioannis Saratsis, who began at Hud son as an intern. “Hudson’s interns are exposed to a wide variety of topics and scholars and have proved vital in helping Hudson accomplish its mission of providing innovative re search,” Saratsis says.

(Applause.) We have a truly distinguished panel, who will offer their reflections shortly, but before we get underway I should note that this is Hudson Institute’s 50th anniversary year, and to mark this occasion, the Institute has begun a 50th anniversary seminar series, and today’s exceptional Book Forum is the second event in this series.

  • WHY COMPETITION in the POLITICS INDUSTRY IS FAILING AMERICA a Strategy for Reinvigorating Our Democracy
    SEPTEMBER 2017 WHY COMPETITION IN THE POLITICS INDUSTRY IS FAILING AMERICA A strategy for reinvigorating our democracy Katherine M. Gehl and Michael E. Porter ABOUT THE AUTHORS Katherine M. Gehl, a business leader and former CEO with experience in government, began, in the last decade, to participate actively in politics—first in traditional partisan politics. As she deepened her understanding of how politics actually worked—and didn’t work—for the public interest, she realized that even the best candidates and elected officials were severely limited by a dysfunctional system, and that the political system was the single greatest challenge facing our country. She turned her focus to political system reform and innovation and has made this her mission. Michael E. Porter, an expert on competition and strategy in industries and nations, encountered politics in trying to advise governments and advocate sensible and proven reforms. As co-chair of the multiyear, non-partisan U.S. Competitiveness Project at Harvard Business School over the past five years, it became clear to him that the political system was actually the major constraint in America’s inability to restore economic prosperity and address many of the other problems our nation faces. Working with Katherine to understand the root causes of the failure of political competition, and what to do about it, has become an obsession. DISCLOSURE This work was funded by Harvard Business School, including the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness and the Division of Research and Faculty Development. No external funding was received. Katherine and Michael are both involved in supporting the work they advocate in this report.

More specifically, it examines the controversial performances of two separate authorities that deal with transportation problems. One involves a fail- ure to detect terrorists breaching security at Logan Airport; the other entails a bitter dispute that arose over the delay in raising tolls on the turnpike to pay for the Big Dig project. With both in mind, this study describes the countervailing pressures that converge on the executive branch of state government as it con- fronts the prospect of holding these two authorities accountable.
