Policy engagement
Our faculty and students engage with policymakers and explore a variety of international policy topics in their respective research. They offer commentaries and opinions, and they regularly conduct interviews with the media. Javed Ali, Kamissa Camara, John Ciorciari, Mel Levitsky, Susan D. Page, and Megan Stewart and others inform policy conversation, and engage students and the public through their expertise.
"This [leak of Pentagon documents] is a serious development and deeply troubling. And as someone myself who participated in the production of these intelligence materials in the Pentagon way back when when I started my government career, this is not something that anyone wants to see get revealed, certainly in this fashion. But at the same time, and I'm not trying to sugarcoat or minimize anything, I don't think this is a catastrophic failure either. And some of the media headlines have been a little sensationalist on that. So trying to take a measured approach and I think one of the more important questions is how did this happen rather than substantively or analytically what did they reveal?"
Have any questions?
