legislation, less stringent regulations, political appointments, government
contracts or tax credits-to name a few forms of payback. So where is all this
money coming from? Who's giving it? Who's getting it?

Rewriting Europe’s Narrative: Nearly a decade of
austerity in member states has undermined the European Union's economic
promise, strained the bonds of solidarity, and paved the way for a resurgence
of toxic ideologies. If the EU is to survive, it needs a new collective
identity – and the ability to intimidate others.
The Threat to Western Democracy Starts at Home: The
Western liberal order is not in crisis because of Russian disinformation
campaigns and electoral interference. Western democracies must take
responsibility for a crisis that, ultimately, is homegrown – nurtured by its
leaders’ own failure to confront effectively the challenges of globalization.
Will the Foreign-Policy Establishment Learn From Trump’s
Election Victory? The elites have reinforced a global order in which the
“winners” are protected and the “losers” are ignored.
