Taylor Provides an Update on Russia's War with Ukraine on Campbell Conversations
“In general, not a huge amount of change,” says Brian Taylor, professor of political science. “Russia is on the front foot now because Ukraine is running out of ammunition, especially artillery. And this has to do with the hold up on the U.S. military assistance package in the U.S. Congress over the last half year.”

I thought Russia would have managed to seize and hold more territory than they did. ...That’s because Russia fought worse than I thought they would and Ukraine has fought much better," says Brian Taylor, director of the Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs.

Sultana Discusses the UN Climate Change Conference (COP28) with BBC Newshour, CBC Radio, NY Times
"One of the challenges that's coming out of the COP is a focus on language rather than actual politics," says Farhana Sultana, professor of geography and the environment. "So we can talk about abated/unabated [fossil fuels], whether there's possibilities for different forms of use, which source it's coming from. But I think what we really need to focus on is the overall production."

"President Biden promised a 'whole of government' approach to the climate crisis after taking office.

Conversations in Conflict Studies- A New Model of Collaborative Governance: Deliberative Policy Analysis and Deliberative Think Tanks
400A Eggers Hall
Add to: Outlook, ICal, Google Calendar
Guest Speaker: Ya Li, Visiting Research Professor and Fulbright Scholar, Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University. Deliberative policy analysis (DPA) is a specific kind of policy inquiry based on a public deliberation and dispute resolution process involving relevant parties and citizens, aiming to provide insights for policy makers or collaborative partners. Compared with mainstream policy analysis, DPA can better adapt to the requirement of collaborative governance or the demand of policy analysis in a networked society. A major research problem in this field is how to render DPA more operable. Deliberative think tanks (DTT), or deliberative consulting institutes, might work as an effective organizational solution for DPA practice. The speaker will present a brief introduction to DPA, including its principles and promises, and discuss the ideas and conceptual models of the DTT. A recent case of DPA practice in a collaborative governance context will be introduced. Some future research issues regarding DTT will also be discussed.
