Transitional Justice at 40: A Critical Appraisal
Omar G. Encarnación (Bard College)
In some cases, holding old political regimes accountable for their crimes has hindered countries’ transitions to democracy and eroded the rule of law.

The Return of Inflation
Barry Eichengreen (University of California, Berkeley)
Economists who thought deflation was a greater danger than rising prices did not foresee the unprecedented supply-side disruptions wrought by a pandemic and a war.

The Climate Risk of Green Industrial Policy
Joanna I. Lewis (Georgetown University)
Proliferating state interventions to promote local green industries in response to China’s dominance in the field could slow the global clean energy transition.

The Dark Arctic
Mia M. Bennett (University of Washington)
While climate change melts the circumpolar North, unscrupulous operators are exploiting resources and vulnerable populations in a region where monitoring and regulation are sparse.

An Aging World Relies on Migrant Care Workers
Cati Coe (Carleton University)
To care for older adults at home, Western societies have turned to migrant workers in arrangements that often amount to domestic servitude.

PERSPECTIVE
Can Affirmative Action Survive on the World’s Campuses?
Laura Dudley Jenkins (University of Cincinnati)
Despite a backlash against race-based preferences in the United States and elsewhere, some countries continue to prioritize access to higher education for disadvantaged groups.

BOOKS
Will AI Slay the Poverty Dragon?
Anirudh Krishna (Duke University)
The latest technologies could help the world’s poorest people, but the history of previous innovations that raised similar hopes shows that thoughtful policies are also needed.
