Many scholars, Conservatives and non-conservatives alike, have charged that academia has failed to provide enough diverse viewpoints in its teachings and publications. Such politization undermines the principles of honest inquire and academic rigor.
We are a Non-Partisan Public Policy Organization, a Research Center, and a Think Tank.
The Center is a gathering of scholars, experts and community stakeholders, that engage in research and dialogue in an effort to create practical policy recommendations and solutions to current local, national, and international challenges.

Ron DeSantis is right about Russia and Ukraine: It is a Territorial Conflict
Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida drew swift condemnations from establishment Republicans. They are wrong; the governor said what many have been blind and oblivious to, and these hawkish Republican critics have a warped, ill-informed view.
It is warped because DeSantis rightly said that the fight today is not about Kyiv; it’s about Crimea and Donbas, historically disputed territories and, therefore, not of vital interest to the United States.
Israeli Civil Society Has Displayed a Model of Resistance to Global Illiberalism
The deterioration of liberal democracy has become a global phenomenon and, one by one, countries in different parts of the world have fallen victim to assaults on liberal democracy. Israel is only the latest victim of an attempted attack on democracy.
Poetic Justice and Legal Justice: More on Authoritarianism and the Rule of Law
A great deal of literature, films, novels, histories and legends, myths and religious texts, the stories we tell each other in small gatherings on social media or online center on poetic justice. The bad guy or wrongdoer or evil character, seemingly getting away with terrible acts, time and again, to the consternation or even complicity of authorities, gets their rightful dues in the end.
Celebrating the Mediocre: Authoritarianism and the Rule of Law
It is difficult to be enthusiastic about the mediocre. Why is getting a C good? Why is making the team but riding the bench, being the eternal “spare,” a cause for happiness? We all want to be part of Lake Wobegon, as Garrison Keeler described it: belonging to a place where “All the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average .”We are not there, and that is not very reassuring. Perhaps worse yet, we are even more distressed when the mediocre is celebrated.
Joe Biden’s Venezuela Deal Is Risky But Worth Trying
A few months ago, the Biden Administration granted five U.S. oil companies limited authorization to resume pumping oil from Venezuela. The decision came after the Venezuelan government and the opposition reached a humanitarian relief agreement and to resume negotiations to resolve the country’s political crisis, focusing on Venezuela’s 2024 elections.
