“Hegemony ... is about the successful cultivation of consent from subordinated groups or states, which requires material concessions and ideological projects capable of convincing subordinates,” writes Lee Jones. americanaffairsjournal.org/2025/05/trumps…

“Will the future be defined by integration or fracture, by planetary entanglement or by a return to spheres of influence? These questions remain unresolved, and perhaps unresolvable,” writes Jacob Dreyer. americanaffairsjournal.org/2025/05/chinas…

“It should be clear that a tariff-first strategy for reindustrialization is not going to succeed. Purely ‘protectionist’ measures like tariffs work best when there is a domestic industry to protect,” writes Julius Krein. americanaffairsjournal.org/2025/04/the-le…

“So-called learning economies are going to be greater in a large-scale fabrication facility than on a small-scale production line,” write Kenneth Flamm and William B. Bonvillian. americanaffairsjournal.org/2025/05/solvin…

“America faces a surge in power demand that it is ill-prepared to meet. This new reality has only intensified both the need for grid reform and the difficulties of even understanding what needs reformation,” writes Emmet Penney. americanaffairsjournal.org/2025/05/democr…

“Reformers need more than complaints. To rebuild state capacity, reformers need an affirmative vision of what good procedure should look like,” writes Kevin Hawickhorst. americanaffairsjournal.org/2025/05/accoun…

“There is little need to steal through cunning espionage what can be obtained through little cost or effort in a vast and open data marketplace,” write Gavin Wilde and Justin Sherman. americanaffairsjournal.org/2025/05/data-b…

“Past a certain point of consumption, people become largely satiated, and their consumption should grow slower than before. [...] Consumer societies cannot tolerate this [...] consumption is seen as a prerequisite for GDP growth,” writes Philip Pilkington. americanaffairsjournal.org/2025/05/the-li…

“The self-flattering story Democrats have told themselves is that rising white racism explains the defection of white working-class voters. But that simple story was always undercut by data,” writes Richard Kahlenberg. americanaffairsjournal.org/2025/05/renewi…

“Neither is entirely successful in their attempts, for the same political changes they seek to understand have a way of resisting the categories imposed on them,” writes David Polansky in his review of recent books by Zack Beauchamp ([email protected]) and Quinn Slobodian. americanaffairsjournal.org/2025/05/democr…
