Migration – the temporary or permanent movement of people from one place to another.
Migration impacts on population change. It is difficult to account for this population change as much migration is illegal and not accounted for. The government often underestimate the number of migrants to help boost support, while the press often overestimate the number of migrants to sell sensational news articles.
Migration is a common phenomenon. The world is shrinking. The world is becoming a global village. Country boundaries and barriers no longer restrict people movement.

What led to the government shutdown for 16 days in 2013?
Because of our form of government, policy actors must be able to come to agreement. Is it an acceptable negotiating strategy to threaten government shut down?

Federalism
US government structure
Established in the 10th amendment:
“The powers not delegated to the US (federal government) by the Constitution . . . are reserved to the states or to the people.”
Shared policy making by state and federal governments
Evolution
Federalism is our form of government - Has to do with what states and federal government can make policies about.
Has been a concern since our nation’s founding. During Civil War, Lincoln had to assume a larger federal role to eradicate slavery. The states had much power.
Historically – roles were clearly states: education and transportation federal: national defense, trade
Policy capacity varies so much at state level.
‹#›
Federalism (cont’d)
Dual Federalism (historical)
Clear separation of responsibility
States: education and transportation
Federal: national defense and trade
Cooperative Federalism (contemporary)
Responsibility of states vs. federal government has blurred
Results of This Balance of Power
What are the advantages?
Distributed power across wide range of parties
Both houses of Congress and the President must agree – policies are vetted
The “people” and other actors have a great deal of input
What are the disadvantages?
Often a slow process
Gridlock
Downturn of public opinion
What are the advantages and disadvantages of distributing the power across many different policy actors?

Policy Gridlock Occurs
Complex issues, sharp differences in ways to approach them
What are some issues right now that seem to be gridlocked?

Mark Turner, David Hulme & Willy Mccourt, Governance, Management & Developmen...Dadang Solihin
This extensively revised edition of the authors' successful textbook Governance, Administration and Development updates its framework and analysis in light of the changed context of the twenty-first century. It continues to provide a comprehensive introduction to public policy and management in developing countries and transitional economies while also taking account of changes in the theory and practice of development management since the first edition. The authors emphasize the role of the state within development, paying careful attention to contemporary approaches and to changing attitudes towards the state. This involves examining the nature of the policy process, civil service reform, planning and decentralization, as well as showing the changing nature of the state's involvement in promoting economic development and its engagement with civil society.
The article aims to trace the dynamics of contention in austerity-driven Slovenia, explain why it ended, through the processes of demobilization, despite the protest movement’s initial successes, and verify the explanatory power of Charles Tilly
and Sidney Tarrow’s theoretical framework of demobilization. The analysis applies the
method of source analysis, conceptual qualitative content analysis, and the conceptual
framework of contentious politics. In doing so, it addresses the research problems of the
dynamics of contention in Slovenia and why the contention resulted in demobilization.
The article argues that after mass mobilization an upward scale shift appeared. The shift
moved the contention beyond its local origins in Maribor, touched on the interests and
values of new subjects, and involved a shift of venue to sites where the demands might
have been met by state institutions. The dynamics of contention was a cycle of active
and passive contentious episodes. The movement identity shift and successful recognition of its claims influenced the performances and episode sequence. The processes of
demobilization started when people stopped attending protests, organizing particular
performances, and implementing innovations to modular performances instead. Demobilization occurred when most of the protesters became discouraged from protest
through boredom and a desire to return to everyday routines.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

13. Decentralization
• Government decentralization reform
• Academic decentralization initiative, February 24
– call for academic input
– Roger Myerson and Daron Acemoglu, Gerard Roland, Daniel
Treisman, Sergei Guriev, Paul Rodrik Grergory
– signed by more than 100 academics
13
15. Benefits of decentralization
• better local economic decisions
• counterintuitively, lower stakes in secession
• selection and training of national-level politicians
15
16. Focal issue
• Decentralization as means of preventing dictatorship
• Solution to the problem of non-existing institutions
16
20. Recentralization
• Article 118 of the proposed constitution deals with decen-
tralization
– extremely vague
– keeps state administrations and creates local executive
councils
– details to worked out by law
• Financial resources?
20
21. Legitimacy
• The process is as important as substance of the reform
– The reform will not be backrolled only if it is understood
and protected by public
– Lower level politicial leaders, with ability to mobilize sup-
port, should feel ownership over the reform
– Convention and endorsements
21
24. Corruption
• ok if free press (Leesman and Markwardt 2009)
• not ok if more complex governing structure (Fan, Lin, and
Treisman 2009)
• Ukraine benchmark?
24
26. Strong national parties
• strong national parties are the key for
– smaller interregional conflict (Brancati 2006)
– better local public goods (Enikolopov and Zhuravskaya
2007)
• Ukraine - party of regions?
26
27. Decentralization as conflict mitgation strategy
• ethno-federalis works ok (Charron 2009)
• regional level inequality leads to civil conflict (Deiwiks, Ced-
erman, and Gleditsch 2012)
• armed clientilism (Eaton 2006)
• depends on what kind of decentralization (Siegle and O’Mahony
2010)
– increased support of local leaders, local expenditure, and
employment - good
– higher local taxes and higher local bureaucracies - bad
