A new article by Korbel Prof. Ilene Grabel asks what can Albert O. Hirschman teach us about economics—and the crisis of liberal democracy? Her new paper explores how a distinctly Hirschmanian mindset can help us understand today’s emerging post-American, post-liberal global financial order.

Africa's Road to Prosperity
Africa is the world’s fastest-growing region, yet it still grapples with extreme poverty. How can African countries leapfrog traditional development phases and generate sufficient employment for their rapidly expanding labour force? In Africa’s Road to Prosperity, futurist and Africa analyst Jakkie Cilliers looks at the main forces that will shape the continent’s economic and political future. Large investments in infrastructure and energy efficiency are essential, as is improved regional trade integration. But African countries will only be able to modernise their economies if the...

What if the U.S. population peaks 50+ years earlier than expected? Recent immigration policy shifts and data on fertility and mortality suggest the peak could arrive within the next decade or two. Collin Meisel at Korbel's Pardee Institute takes a look into this likely future in @thehill.com

If immigration declines, tomorrow’s economy will need an offsetting boost in technology or capital — something we can simulate.

War on Iran during nuclear negotiations undermines the US’s ability to talk peace around the world − and the effects won’t end when Trump leaves office
Conducting military strikes against a nation that is engaged in negotiations to reduce its nuclear capacity has set a dangerous precedent.
