Autore di The Future of Violence: Robots and Germs, Hackers and Drones—Confronting A New Age of Threat
Sull'Autore
John Diluiio Jr. (University of Pennsylvania) observes the failure of today's policymakers to address adequately the nation's long-range financial liabilities. William Galston (Brookings Institution) examines the implications of the rise of political parties and the ascent of "direct versus mostra altro representative democracy." Pietro Nivola (Brookings Institution) makes the case that the American political system actually acquitted itself comparatively well in contending with the recent Great Recession. R. Shep Melnick (Boston College) challenges the common presumption that the U.S. government is gridlocked. Jonathan Rauch (Brookings Institution) argues that America's political process continues to encourage useful compromise, much as Madison intended. Jack Rakove (Stanford University) ponders what Madison would think of the contemporary U.S. Senate. Martha Derthick (University of Virginia) contemplates the current federal government's extensive involvement in the concerns of states and localities. Eugene Hickok (former deputy secretary of education) discusses Madison's devotion to education and invites us to wonder how he might view the educational system's current condition. Lynn Uzzell (Robert H. Smith Center for the Constitution at James Madison's Montpelier) reflects on how Madison might have regarded the judicial role in resolving constitutional disputes such as those stirred by laws such as the Affordable Care Act. Benjamin Wittes (Brookings institution) and Ritika Singh {{Lawfare) look at the age-old tension between national security interests and safeguarding civil liberties. Benjamin Wittes is a senior fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution and a founding editor of Lawfore. He is the author of many books, including most recently The Future of Violence: Robots and Germs, Hackers and Drones-Confronting a New Age of Threat (Basic Books, 2015), coauthored with Gabriella Blum. Pietro Nivola is a senior fellow emeritus at the Brookings Institution. His most recent book is What So Proudly We Hailed: Essays on the Contemporary Meaning of the War of 1812 (Brookings Institution Press, 2012), coedited with Peter J. Kastor. mostra meno
