Guinea ’s Coup Is The Latest Example Of Risks From U.S. Military Aid
A. Trevor Thrall andJordan CohenOn September 5, 2021, an American ‐trained military officer inGuinea ’s armed forces led a coup d ’état to oust President Alpha Condé. Though far from the only coup initiated by forces with American training, this coup marks the first time that someone has led a coupwhile taking that training. American officials have tried to distance the United States from the coup by saying that it is “inconsistent with U.S. military training and education” andsuspending military support to Guinea. Weak excuses like this, however, cannot obscure the truth: U.S. military assistance ...

PROP ’s Disproportionate Influence on U.S. Opioid Policy: The Harms of Intended Consequences
ConclusionDespite being turned back from an effort to bluntly reduce opioid prescribing by the FDA in 2013 based on a lack of scientific evidence for its position (17,18), PROP has had a disproportionate effect on opioid policy in the Untied States for almost a decade. PROP found a willing federal regulatory partner in the CDC, and while PROP may not have “secretly written” the 2016 CDC Pain Guidelines (75), they certainly enjoyed disproportionate representation on CDC’s review panels and Core Expert Group (23-25) in a process that lacked transparency (22, 23, 26, 27). When the CDC admitted that its Pain Guideline ha...

Employer Liability Is Not an Adequate Solution to Qualified Immunity
Jay SchweikertIn the wake ofDerek Chauvin ’s conviction for killing George Floyd, policing reform continues to be debated in Congress, and a bipartisan group of legislators ismaking progress toward a solution on the key issue ofqualified immunity. Last week,Republican Senator Tim Scott proposed, as a possible compromise, the idea of shifting financial responsibility away from individual officers and onto police departments themselves. Though his public statements and news reports don ’t provide many details at this point, they seem to suggest a view that qualified immunity should not preclude plaint...

Immediate Solutions for Migrant Children
Conclusion: Long-Term Solutions NeededThe Biden administration has options to reduce illegal entries by unaccompanied children. First, it should immediately rescind Title 42 to allow children to cross with their parents without fear of immediate expulsion and homelessness in Mexico. Second, it should stop separating “unaccompanied” children from extended family members like aunts, uncles, and grandparents and release them together to free up space for truly unaccompanied children. Third, it should restart processing asylum applicants—particularly families and unaccompanied children—at ports of entry to prevent ille...

Navigating Norms for the New Space Era
To make better progress on global norms for responsible behavior in space, the U.S. defense and intelligence communities might first consider reaching a consensus among themselves on what these norms should be.

Antidumping, China and “Deindustrialization”
Scott LincicomeWhether it ’s due to the “China Shock” or “deindustrialization, ” a common refrain from those seeking to support American manufacturers and workers via U.S. trade restrictions and subsidies is that these groups have been the helpless victims of “unfettered trade” and “free‐market fundamentalism.” As I’ve explained in a series ofrecentpapers, however, this narrative ignores (among other things) the panoply of U.S. laws that already exist to boost the manufacturing sector — laws that, despite their frequent and continued use, just haven’t worked very well in terms of increasing U...

American Compass Shouldn ’t Reject the Economics of Immigration
ConclusionCass and the other writers at American Compass can ignore economic theory, economic evidence, and the huge volume of peer ‐reviewed and non‐peer‐reviewed research on the economics of immigration as much or as little as they choose. But they cannot get away with telling the world that it is “paper thin” and focused almost entirely on a “massive influx of Cuban refugees in Miami in 1980.” I do not hope to change Cass’s mind, but hopefully I can at least convince him and some other readers of American Compass that there is a lot more to the economics of immigration than research about Mi...
