American conservatives hungry for victory are increasingly looking overseas for a political figure around which they can model their political movement. Many are gravitating toward one man in particular: Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

This is as wrongheaded as it is alarming. Orban not only has a concerning authoritarian tilt, but his brand of nationalism simply will not translate well to American voters.

For The New Atlantis, Algis Valiunas reconsiders the history of the decision to drop atomic bombs on Japanese cities at the end of the Second World War.

Scholars Rachel Morrison, Mary Rice Hasson, and Eric Kniffin submitted a public comment opposing the Department of Education’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that would establish a new regulatory standard for athletic participation under Title IX.

To shape policy, EPPC monitors and engages with federal agency actions. EPPC primarily engages in the rulemaking process by submitting written public comments and requesting meetings with government officials to provide input and specific suggested changes or improvements the agency must consider for its rulemaking. EPPC scholars also educate other organizations and individuals on how to effectively engage in the regulatory process and provide legal and policy expertise on various agency actions.
