  • 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.

Ultimately, the analysis here determined that there is not a statistically significant relationship between the income of the participant and their support for secession in California. However, the data analysis did yield that there is a correlation between an index of ‘Support for Secession’, ‘Interest in Secession’ and ‘Seriousness of Claim’ and income.

  • 10, George C. Marshall
    'The views expressed are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy or position of the US Air Force, Department of Defense or the US Government.'" USAFA Harmon Memorial Lecture #10 “George C. Marshall: Global Commander” Forrest C. Pogue, 1968 It is a privilege to be invited to give the tenth lecture in a series which has become widely-known among teachers and students of military history. I am, of course, delighted to talk with you about Gen. George C. Marshall with whose career I have spent most of my waking hours since1956. Douglas Freeman, biographer of two great Americans, liked to say that he had spent twenty years in the company of Gen. Lee. After devoting nearly twelve years to collecting the papers of General Marshall and to interviewing him and more than 300 of his contemporaries, I can fully appreciate his point. In fact, my wife complains that nearly any subject from food to favorite books reminds me of a story about General Marshall. If someone serves seafood, I am likely to recall that General Marshall was allergic to shrimp. When I saw here in the audience Jim Cate, professor at the University of Chicago and one of the authors of the official history of the U.S. Army Air Forces in World War II, I recalled his fondness for the works of G.A. Henty and at once there came back to me that Marshall once said that his main knowledge of Hannibal came from Henty's The Young Carthaginian. If someone asks about the General and Winston Churchill, I am likely to say, "Did you know that they first met in London in 1919 when Marshall served as Churchill's aide one afternoon when the latter reviewed an American regiment in Hyde Park?" Thus, when I mentioned to a friend that I was coming to the Air Force Academy to speak about Marshall, he asked if there was much to say about the General's connection with the Air Force.

  • Presidential Elections As a State Destabilization Tool in the Theory and Practice of the Russian Info-Psychological Operations in the 20Th and 21St Century
    VI. SELECTED ARTICLES IN ENGLISH 311 Michał Wojnowski Presidential elections as a state destabilization tool in the theory and practice of the Russian info-psychological operations in the 20th and 21st century The shaping of the contemporary model of indirect democracy has resulted with the need to develop mechanisms through which citizens could influence the membership of the Parliament, as well as other institutions representing the people. Elections are such a mechanism, as it is their function to take various state-level positions, from the local level, up to the position of the head of state, as well as to choose those who form collegial bodies, resolution-making bodies in boroughs, up to the legislative ones. The right to participate in duly organized elections belongs, to the basic human and civil rights. Elections in a democratic country are cyclic and competitive, which means that they must be organized at constant time intervals and that citizens need to have a guarantee of making a choice from independent political offers. The cyclic nature means that the government is legitimized to execute power for a limited period of time. Then they have to again undergo the verification of voters. The competition is all about providing conditions for the existence of the political opposition (based on the undisputable freedom of organizing for political parties) and the prohibition to eliminate it through the state-level means of coercion.1 Thus – the elections influence the total external and the internal state policy. Thus, the problems connected to the safeguarding of elections, understood as a political process, meaning a series of events taking place from the moment of decision on the announcement of elections to the announcement of election results, are of key significance from the perspective of national security and the security of military and political alliances, etc.2 This is confirmed by the communication of the European Commission of 12th September 2018, according to which: 1 M.

    USC Dornsife in the News Archive - 2016 December December 22, 2016 The Conversation published an op-ed by Khatera Sahibzada, adjunct lecturer in applied psychology, on the practical application of a 13th century Sufi saying to managerial feedback in the present. "As long as managers always ensure their feedback is unbiased, essential and civil, it’s almost certain to be effective and help an employee grow," Sahibzada wrote. The New York Times quoted Stanley Rosen, professor of political science, on the efforts of Chinese movie production companies to reach worldwide audiences with the film "The Great Wall." USA Today quoted Matthew Kahn, professor of economics and spatial sciences, on President-elect Donald Trump's economic goals related to China. UPROXX quoted Robert English, associate professor of international relations, Slavic languages and literature, and environmental studies, on the reasons Russian media may have reported on the opening of an embassy by the California secessionist group Yes California. December 21, 2016 The Korea Times published commentary by Kyung Moon Hwang, professor of history and East Asian languages and cultures, on why the current political turmoil in South Korea should not be considered a "revolution." Hwang argues the final steps towards true democratization will finally yield the benefits from the country's previous revolution. December 20, 2016 NPR Chicago affiliate WBEZ-FM highlighted research by Duncan Ermini Leaf of the USC Schaeffer Center, Maria Jose Prados of USC Dornsife 's Center for Economic and Social Research and colleagues on the long-term benefits of preschool.
