Editors’ Remarks
The Georgetown Public Policy Review is not just a journal. It is a gameplan.
Right now, our countries, our cities, and our governments are facing high stakes challenges: How do we respond to emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and prediction markets? If climate change is here, how do we mitigate the harm? Is it possible for countries to minimize economic shocks amidst shifting global trade policy? How should we navigate these questions in the face of war and international conflict?
The urgency is only escalating, and policymakers around the world are working to build and implement solutions that make sense of the chaos.
At the Georgetown Public Policy Review, we are doing the same.
In these pages, you will find actionable policy solutions from the new generation of public policy leaders. Whether analyzing market stabilization strategies in Latin America and the Caribbean, designing US social media regulations, or increasing the efficacy of international conflict negotiation… The authors of this volume are developing evidence-based solutions to the world’s most intractable problems.
In the previous edition, the editors explored the impact of the post- Covid landscape, positing “this may be the new normal – at least until the next one.” In the 31st volume of the Review, we think critically about this “new normal” and present actionable public policy solutions in the hope of a better tomorrow. We share outside-of-the-box ideas from new voices. Most importantly, we believe that thoughtful policy analysis still has the capability to move the needle towards positive change.
So, thank you for reading the 31st edition of the Georgetown Public Policy Review. In these pages, we think, we strategize, and we create a gameplan for navigating this chaotic world.
We hope you will, too.
