STATEMENT
My goal is to bring an international dimension to the Policy Center. I also aim to provide insight into the world views, or theories, that underlie public policy making. Because almost all purposeful actions are guided to some degree by theories about how the world works (or how it should work), to understand policymaking we must be able to understand, and judge, these theories.
