Conservative Us Federal Fiscal Policy In The 21st Century: Competing Ideologies And Consequences, David W. Bolton
Helms School of Government Spring Public Policy Conference
The year 2000 brought upon the American public satisfaction and anxiety simultaneously. After a decade of real fiscal prosperity resulting from the Reagan Revolution and the internet and housing market bubbles under Bill Clinton, uncertainty over lacking financial securities was high. The election of George W. Bush to the presidency at first offered hope for a potential return to more traditional, stable financial markets, but with challenges from perceived Y2K computer bugs, repercussions to world financial markets due to the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, and the resultant Great Recession, neo-conservativism was losing support from the American electorate for …
Weaponization Of Election Law, Phil Kline
Weaponization Of Election Law, Phil Kline
Helms School of Government Spring Public Policy Conference
The Select Congressional Committee investigating January 6, justified much of its action on factual claims that President Trump encouraged a violent effort to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. This claim is unsupported, and the action of the committee involved unprecedented efforts violating citizen privacy while mining information for the weaponized Biden Department of Justice. Moreover, the legal actions and challenges of the 2020 election supported by President Trump mirrored the actions of democratic party allies in their opposition to Trump’s election in 2016. My paper outlines the errors of the January 6 committee and the parallels between Trump 2020 …

Slowing The Decline: How Restoring Congress’S Capacity To Compete With The Executive Branch Can Help Restore The American Republic, Elizabeth Gillanders
Helms School of Government Spring Public Policy Conference
Aristotle is one of the most influential figures both in the realm of philosophy and political science. In one of his most well-known works, The Politics, he explores various forms of government and how they will eventually decline. It is Aristotle’s prerogative that nothing can stop the decline of a state from happening, but citizens can attempt to slow it down if they understand how to spot the symptoms. One of these symptoms includes a major concentration of power in a single ruler (known as the One) as opposed to allowing the people (the Many) to rule. This paper seeks …

Tackling Violent Extremism And Terrorism In Ghana: Approaches And Strategies Adopted By Non-State Actors, Peter Joilah Lambon
Helms School of Government Spring Public Policy Conference
Globally, non-state actors have played crucial roles in supporting the state in key areas of national security and defense. The recent spread of violent extremism and terrorism within the West African-sub-region, particularly within the Sahel region, has called for a renewed spirit of partnership and cooperation between state and non-state actors in tackling these emerging threats. This is evidenced in the sporadic nature of attacks carried out by jihadists and terrorist cells across the Sahel region. Ghana’s close door neighbor’s, Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, are currently being threatened by violent extremists and terrorist’s cells within the Sahel region. There …

Helms School of Government Spring Public Policy Conference
Building upon a paper presented at the 2024 Liberty Spring Conference, ‘The 5 Disruptions And How Does The U.S. Prepare For Managing Them’, this paper looks to create a framework that instantiates the 3 recommendations from that paper: Adapting a Civilizational Approach, Embracing Chaos Theory and Maintaining a Whole of Gov’t approach. Protecting Freedom in the Great Power Era requires States to compete across many venues since these States have greater resources and abilities to employ those resources. Complex environments are dynamic and induce uncertainty in decision making. Peer competitors create their own strategic paths and adjust their strategic decision …

Chinese Strategic Cognitive Warfare Use Of Tiktok And Social Media, Johnny B. Davis
Helms School of Government Spring Public Policy Conference
The 21st century is the era of cognitive warfare and messaging, reshaping warfare, diplomacy, and economics.
