The Hoover History Lab hosted a Book Talk with Dan Edelstein - A Revolution to Come: A History of an Idea from Thucydides to Lenin on Tuesday, April 29, 2025 from 11:30 am - 1:00 pm PT. Revolution! How did an event once considered the greatest of all political dangers come to be seen as a solution to all social problems? Political thinkers from Plato to America's John Adams viewed revolutions as a grave threat to society and advocated for a constitution that prevented them by balancing competing interests and forms of government. The Revolution to Come traces how since the 18th century a modern doctrine of historical progress drove a belief in revolution's ability to create just and reasonable societies. SPEAKER Dan Edelstein is the William H. Bonsall Professor of French, and Professor of Political Science and History (by courtesy) at Stanford. He studied at the University of Geneva (BA) and the University of Pennsylvania (PhD).  Revolution to Come is his fourth book on European intellectual and political history.

Poland has become an increasingly important actor within the European Union. After years of democratic backsliding, it`s democracy is consolidating again under Prime Minister Donald Tusk who took office in 2023. In 2025 Poland will face presidential elections and Poland will also be chairing the Council of the European Union. Poland is a stance supporter of Ukraine after it was invaded by Russia in February 2024. It hosts a large number of Ukrainian refugees and is rapidly building up its defense capabilities in order to deter a hostile Russia. What geopolitical role is Poland pursuing in an increasingly multipolar world? How will the election of Donald Trump shape the future of European Security and how does Poland perceive it`s role within the European Union? With Ukraine and Moldova having candidate status for EU accession, what can be expected from Poland in this context? How important is democracy and peace for Poland? Is Poland able to bridge different perceptions of EU countries about the future of the Union?

 It's an odd world. Many of our most pressing political problems, particularly global warming, are long term, and yet we are still confined to the here-and-now of national politics to determine policy. This is the issue that Thomas Hale, an Oxford Professor of Public Policy, addresses in his interesting new book, LONG PROBLEMS: Climate Change and the Challenge of Governing across Time. For the self-styled “transnationalist” Hale, long problems like climate change are best addressed not just by international organizations like the United Nations, but also by new local political initiatives like citizen assemblies. He may well be right. But Hale's long-term transnationalism is a hard political sell in our short-term nationalist age of Trump, Modi and Le Pen. Thomas Hale is a professor in public policy at the University of Oxford Blavatnik School of Government. Hale's research explores how we can manage transnational problems effectively and fairly. He seeks to explain how political institutions evolve–or not–to face the challenges raised by globalization and interdependence, with a particular emphasis on environmental, economic, and health issues. He holds a Ph.D. in Politics from Princeton University, a master's degree in Global Politics from the London School of Economics, and an AB in public policy from Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School. A U.S. national, Hale has studied and worked in Argentina, China, and Europe. Hale leads the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

Countries around the world are stepping up efforts to combat climate change but mountainous challenges loom. That's according to the guest on the latest episode of Grid Talk.Host Marty Rosenberg speaks with David Waskow, director of International Climate Initiatives at the World Resources Institute. Waskow says non-governmental organizations (NGOs), are shoulder to shoulder with national governments' stepped-up engagement.“We're both making a lot of progress and have enormous challenges ahead of us,” said Waskow.According to Waskow the work is just beginning.“I think one thing we haven't taken into account is the depth of transformation that we need.”Some countries are making notable progress. “The surge in renewables in India is just quite remarkable and there over 100 gigawatts at the moment I believe, and continuing to grow rapidly,” he said. And he's talking about massive societal transformations.“We are moving quickly on EVs but all the evidence is that we're not only going to have to do EVs at a massive scale, we're also going to have to shift to other modes of transport than passenger vehicles.”AS the Director of WRI's International Climate Initiative Waskow is focused on international cooperation that catalyzes and supports action on climate change at the national level in developed and developing countries Prior to WRI, David directed climate change policy at the development organization Oxfam America, where much of his work focused on the impacts of climate change on vulnerable communities. He has graduate degrees from the University of Chicago and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University; his undergraduate degree is from Brown University.

The Saving Elephants podcast has welcomed a wide array of incredible guests who are on forefront of the conservative political movement.  But most of the guests discuss conservatism from the perspective of a theory or set of principles or idea.  Few have had the opportunity to enact political conservatism as a practice.  And few ex-politicians have been as successful as former Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels in advancing conservatism as a practice.  While Daniels is reticent to label his approach “conservative” or identify as part of red team vs. blue team, his practices in executive offices from the governor's mansion to serving in presidential administrations to leading a university have all displayed a strong tinge of conservative prudence and small-government grit.   Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis welcomes former Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels to the show to discuss his experiences as governor, advisor to Ronald Reagan, Director of OMB for George W. Bush, president of Purdue University.  His accomplishments in these offices and no-nonsense approach towards governing has earned him recognition among many on the Right.  Some leading conservatives—from George Will to Jonah Goldberg to Ross Douthat—have clearly stated he would have been their preferred presidential candidate in recent elections.  While Daniels isn't a presidential candidate then or now, his story provides a roadmap in our politically bleak wilderness for what qualities we should be looking for in a leader.   About Mitch Daniels from Purdue University   Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. is the 12th president of Purdue University and the former governor of Indiana.  He was elected Indiana's 49th governor in 2004 in his first bid for any elected office, and then re-elected in 2008 with more votes than any candidate in the state's history.  During his tenure, Indiana went from an $800 million deficit to its first AAA credit rating, led the nation in infrastructure building and passed sweeping education and healthcare reforms.   After a series of transformations, which included the biggest tax cut in state history, the nation's most sweeping deregulation of the telecommunications industry and a host of other reforms aimed at strengthening the state's economy, Indiana was rated a top five state for business climate and number one for state infrastructure and effectiveness of state government as Daniels exited office.  Indiana's business climate is now rated among the nation's best.   At Purdue, Daniels has prioritized student affordability and reinvestment in the university's strengths.  Breaking with a 36-year trend, Purdue has held tuition unchanged from 2012 through at least the 2022-23 academic year.  Simultaneously, room rates have remained steady, meal plan rates have fallen about 10%, and student borrowing has dropped 32% while investments in student success and STEM research have undergone unprecedented growth. It is less expensive to attend Purdue today than it was in 2012.   In recognition of his leadership as both a governor and a university president, Daniels was named among the Top 50 World Leaders by Fortune Magazine in 2015 and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2019.   Prior to becoming governor, Daniels served as chief of staff to Senator Richard Lugar, senior advisor to President Ronald Reagan and Director of the Office of Management and Budget under President George W. Bush.  He also was the CEO of the Hudson Institute, a major contract research organization.  During an 11-year career at Eli Lilly and Company, he held a number of top executive posts including president of Eli Lilly's North American pharmaceutical operations.   Daniels earned a bachelor's degree from Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and a law degree from Georgetown.  He is the author of three books and a contributing columnist in the Washington Post.  He and his wife Cheri have four daughters and seven grandchildren.  

Our guest for today's podcast is Soo Kim, Managing Partner and CIO of Standard General, an investment firm he started in 2007.  Soo also serves as Chairman of Bally's Corporation. Soo has been investing in special situations strategies since 1997, including as co-founder of Cyrus Capital Partners from 2005 to 2007 and at Och-Ziff Capital Management from 1999 to 2005, where he was a Principal and co-founder of its fixed income business. Before joining Och-Ziff, he was an analyst for the Capital Management Group at Bankers Trust Company from 1997 to 1999. Soo holds an A.B. from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University and is a graduate of Stuyvesant High School, one of the top public high schools in New York City.  I always learn a lot whenever I interact with Soo so I know the audience will get a lot from this conversation.  Joining me on the podcast as co-host is Mike Kim, CIO of Lalia Capital, a single family office focused on private investments.  Without further ado, here is our conversation with Soo Kim.

Cynthia's interests and research explore new ways to live, work, and lead in a knowledge-driven, interdependent, global culture. Dr. Jim Dennis served as president of McKendree University for more than 25 years. Under his leadership the former chairmain of the board said the following of his leadership while at the University - “The accomplishments achieved as a result of Jim Dennis' leadership have been nothing short of miraculous...Upon his arrival in 1994, he sought to breathe new life and vitality into this institution—and he has done so by every measure. The McKendree University community has been transformed by a more diverse faculty and student body, state-of-the-art facilities, a rich curriculum and presence in the arts, a focus on service, and graduating young men and women who are successful in every field and walk of life.” He also spent 27 years at the University of Southern California and is the co-founder of Cousins Camp (perhaps one of his greatest achievements).Quote From This Episode"There's nothing much better than having grandkids, having them nearby, interacting with them, and being a very small part of their lives. And they don't know, but they're a very big part of our lives...the sheer joy that one gets from interacting with five little kids who are starting on their journey of life and watching them develop and grow.

In this episode, host Dan Hesse talks with Admiral Mike Mullen, retired Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under two U.S. Presidents, about his unexpected career journey, the importance of mentors, how to lead during crises and how values shape our decision-making as a leader. Considered one of the most influential chairmen of the Joint Chiefs in history, Admiral Mullen oversaw the end of the combat mission in Iraq and the development of a new military strategy for Afghanistan, while promoting international partnerships, new technologies and new counter-terrorism tactics culminating in the killing of Osama bin Laden. That said, Admiral Mullen's first naval leadership assignment as a young officer did not go well. NOT AT ALL! Yet the lessons he learned, the leadership principles and skills he honed, and the focused persistence and perseverance he mastered as a result of that early failure—in great measure thanks to an exemplary mentor—led him to become the highest-ranking military officer in the country; Fast Company referred to Admiral Mullen as "a case study in 21st Century leadership." Now retired, Admiral Mullen teaches at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis and previously, for many years, taught at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of International and Public Affairs. In addition to his leadership and leader-forming mentorship, he is also known for his efforts on behalf of service members, veterans and their families. Find Show Notes below.

Die globalisierte Welt steht auf dem Kopf – spätestens seit dem russischen Angriffskrieg. In der 168. Folge von „bto 2.0 – der Ökonomie-Podcast mit Dr. Daniel Stelter“ geht es um die Deglobalisierung – angetrieben durch die Corona-Pandemie und den Krieg gegen die Ukraine. Die USA subventionieren unter dem Deckmantel des Klimaschutzes wichtige Schlüsselindustrien der Zukunft.

Antworten darauf im Gespräch mit Prof. Dr. Harold James, Wirtschaftshistoriker an der Princeton University und Professor für Internationale Politik an der Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

In this episode I have the honour to interview a Nobel Laureate who has devoted his life to understanding the way we think. His work has interesting links, not only to my new research topic of cognitive biases, but also on humanity's continuing self examination of consciousness and the mysteries of the mind. Berkely-trained psychologist Daniel Kahneman was corecipient of the Nobel Prize for Economics in 2002 for his integration of psychological research into economic science. His pioneering work examined human judgment and decision making under uncertainty. He was a lecturer (1961–70) and a professor (1970–78) of psychology at the Hebrew University, University of British Columbia, University of California Berkeley, and Princeton University where he was the Eugene Higgins Professor of Psychology and a professor of public affairs at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. Kahneman's groundbreaking nobel research showed that people's inferences of future probabilities are not strictly rational, but show various biases. In 2011 Kahneman received the Talcott Parsons Prize from the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for his contributions to the social sciences. Also that year he published the best-selling book Thinking, Fast and Slow, which highlights two different ways in which people make decisions. His other books included Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment. In 2013 Kahneman was awarded the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Teodora Miljojkovic, RevDem assistant editor, interviews Professor John Shattuck, international legal scholar, diplomat, human rights leader and previous CEU rector. In his early career, Professor Shattuck was a visiting lecturer at the Woodrow Wilson School of Politics at Princeton University and lecturer at the Harvard Law School. In the early post-Cold War years, Professor Shattuck, while serving as the US Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, had a key role in the negotiations of the Dayton Peace Agreement and he was instrumental in the establishment of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. Today, Professor Shattuck is a senior fellow at the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University and Professor of Practice at the Fletcher School at Tufts University. Teodora and Professor Shattuck discussed the book “Holding Together - the Hijacking of Rights in America and How to Reclaim Them for Everyone” by Professor Shattuck, Sushma Rahman and Matthias Riss from the Carr Centre for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University, which was published by The New Press. This followed the launch event for the book at the CEU in Vienna.

I met Gina Muñoz 20 years ago at the wedding of one of my husband's college friends on Martha's Vineyard.  As a Midwesterner who went to a state college, I remember feeling a bit intellectually insecure with these, albeit incredibly kind, Williams college grads.Sitting around a fire, listening to their belly laughs while they told stories of the good ol' days, Gina sat down next to me, leaned over, and said, “Hi, I'm Gina. So where did you go to college?”  Her question and awareness instantly transformed my feeling of being “other” into feeling accepted into the group.   This is one of Gina's great gifts in the world – she has an unassuming way of making anyone around her feel less alone, more accepted, and completely at ease.  As a gay, Mexican American woman who grew up in a Catholic family in Texas, she has a deep and empathic understanding of the many struggles that face those who are trying to find their place in the world. And she knows all too well that representation in mainstream society does not often reflect who those teens and adults identify as being on the inside and/or outside. Gina relocated to New York City over twenty-one years ago and has a diverse work background within the realms of law, healthcare, and education. For over fourteen years she has had a thriving solo law practice in NYC. In addition to her legal career, she is the Director of Provider Information at the Care Management Company of Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx. Gina also assists in teaching public speaking at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public Policy.But if you ask Gina where her heart and soul reside, it is in advocating, fundraising, and being the board president for The Trevor Project. The Trevor Project is the world's largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ+) young people.  They believe the LGBTQ+ community deserves a welcoming, loving world, and they wake up every day dedicated to making that a reality. In today's episode, Gina shares her coming out story and how, at a young age, she actively chose to not be what her parents, grandparents, or friends wanted her to be.  She said, “No, I was determined to be who I was and who I want to be.” This is an episode about showing up in your truth, overcoming hardships within your sexuality and families of origin, and knowing that everything you need to know lives inside of you. It is an honor to call Gina a friend and mentor who embodies the concept of learning to accept yourself in order to accept all those around you.Learn more about Gina Muñoz here.Learn more about Molly Carroll here.Get your free Body Emotion Map.Find me on Social: Instagram and Facebook

“Happiness is not an ideal of reason, but of imagination.” -Immanuel Kant   It is hard to believe that society's prescription for true happiness, “go to school, graduate, find a job, get married, have kids, retire” impacts the mindset as we get older- even when we know better. The lifelong exposure and deep (intention or unintentional) grip to these ideologies are strong. From day one we are bombarded with messages on how you should live and what should make you happy…   The problem is that most people aren't happy. A study by NORC at the University of Chicago finds that just 14% of American adults say they're very happy (2020, NBC News).   Marriage (or a committed relationship) is a MAJOR step in that happiness prescription- where it's no longer just about ourselves and our journey. SO, I am excited to welcome Dr. Peter McGraw to the T&T mic to unpack this conversation around that pivot point going from single to married and how maybe not everyone wants to pivot that way and in turn, deeply impacts our happiness as we know it.   Dr. McGraw is an expert in the interdisciplinary fields of judgment, emotion, and choice with a Ph.D. in quantitative psychology from The Ohio State University. You have recently seen him on the Today Show with Maria Schriver as well as a guest on The Joe Rogan Show and a contributor to major publications such as The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. McGraw is a fellow podcaster, his show, The Solo Life,  is a single person's guide to a remarkable life. McGraw states, “More and more people are becoming aware that marriage is an overprescribed path to a good life. An observation reflected in rapidly changing demographics. One-hundred and twenty-eight million American adults are unmarried, and 25% of Millennials are projected to never marry.”   Marriage is a wonderful thing IF that is authentically what you want. This is an awesome conversation about challenging status quo and getting to the roots of what actually makes us happy and further normalizing the idea of a solo life! If you feel like the weird one, always know you are not the only one haha… there is a whole community out there waiting for ya!   Highlights: The solo life. Read the stats if you don't believe us. Challenging status quo. Core values, self-care, and getting to actually know yourself. Maybe your ideal is somewhere in-between. Love. Faith. Following your heart. Communication and expectations. Nurture vs. nature. A new wave of happy.   Peter McGraw: McGraw is an expert in the interdisciplinary fields of judgment, emotion, and choice. His research has answered questions, such as “How do feelings affect the ways people spend money?,” “Can people feel happy and sad at the same time?,” and, “Why does the TSA suck?” His work has appeared in Management Science, Psychological Science, Journal of Consumer Research, Journal of Marketing Research, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, and Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes. McGraw received a B.A. in psychology and M.Ed. in educational psychology from Rutgers University and an M.S. and Ph.D. in quantitative psychology from The Ohio State University. His post-doctoral training was conducted at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School, where he was mentored by Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman. https://petermcgraw.org/ https://www.youtube.com/user/b9violations @petermcgraw   Connect with T&T: IG: @TurmericTequila Facebook: @TurmericAndTequila Website: www.TurmericAndTequila.com   Host: Kristen Olson IG: @Madonnashero Tik Tok: @Madonnashero Website: www.KOAlliance.com

Katherine is joined by Doug Mercado, head of the area office with the World Food Program in Romania, which is managing the delivery and distribution of food supplies to vulnerable communities in neighboring Ukraine. The impacts of Russia's invasion of Ukraine are felt internally, regionally, and globally, with agricultural production disrupted and access to food supplies limited because of damage to infrastructure and markets. At the same time, both Ukraine and Russia produce wheat and corn for the global market, but the conflict, along with sanctions on Russia, are limiting the distribution of grain globally and driving up prices. Doug's mission day to day? Bring food assistance to 6 million people inside Ukraine. This requires an expanding presence within Ukraine, establishing critical relationships with key institutions, ongoing support from donors, and negotiating with armed forces on the ground.   Douglas Mercado is the Head of the Area Office with the World Food Program in Romania, and a guest lecturer at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

                                                         Don Peppers is a best-selling author, blogger, widely-acclaimed keynote speaker and global CX authority. He speaks to us about how "Life is not a contest, no one takes “first place” ", how "You learn the most when you know the least", and why "Learn to live with yourself first ". Hosted by Duff Watkins. About Don Peppers A marketing futurist and accomplished trend spotter, Peppers has educated and motivated audiences worldwide with presentations and workshops focused on how businesses can compete in a dynamic, technologically fast-moving world. His latest book Customer Experience: What, How and Why Now (2016), provides insights and “how to” recommendations for building and maintaining a truly customer-centric business.   Peppers has written nine books with business partner Martha Rogers, collectively selling well over a million copies in 18 languages. Most recently Extreme Trust: Turning Proactive Honesty and Flawless Execution into Long-Term Profits (Penguin, 2016) uses real-world examples to show how rising customer expectations in a more transparent age have permanently altered the competitive landscape. And Managing Customer Experience and Relationships (Wiley, 2017) is the third edition of their graduate-level textbook, originally published in 2003. Peppers' and Rogers' first book, The One To One Future (Doubleday, 1993), put forward a paradigm-shifting idea about the business implications of interactivity that soon evolved into the global CRM movement. BusinessWeek said their book was the “bible of the new marketing,” while Tom Peters chose it as “book of the year” and Inc. Magazine's editor-in-chief called it “one of the two or three most important business books ever written.” Now, Don and Martha have once again joined forces to form CX Speakers, designed to deliver keynote presentations, workshops, and thought-leadership consulting focused exclusively on the customer experience and its related topics, which range from digital technologies, disruption, and innovation to customer metrics, social selling, customer success, customer advocacy, trust, and corporate culture.  Prior to founding Peppers & Rogers Group and then CX Speakers, Don served as the CEO of Chiat/Day's direct marketing unit and was a celebrated ad agency “rainmaker” – exploits he celebrates in his entertaining book Life's a Pitch: Then You Buy (Doubleday, 1995). Graduating from the U.S. Air Force Academy with a B.S. in astronautical engineering (seriously!), Don claims he was the only actual rocket scientist in the advertising industry. He also has a Master's in Public Affairs from Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School.  An avid runner and father of five, he is happily married.

Some of the most talked-about issues in Congress these days are not about the substance of policies or bills being debated on the floor. Instead, the focus is on the partisan conflict between the parties and the endless debate about whether individual members of Congress will break with party ranks on any particular vote. This behavior allows the parties to emphasize the differences between them, which makes it easier to court donors and hold voter attention.Some amount of competition between the parties is necessary in a healthy democracy, but have things gone too far?

Policymakers worry that “ungoverned spaces” pose dangers to security and development. Why do such spaces exist beyond the authority of the state? In a new book, Melissa M. Lee argues that foreign subversion undermines state authority and promotes ungoverned space. In this episode, Lee discusses the findings from her book, “Crippling Leviathan: How Foreign Subversion Weakens the State,” published by Cornell University Press. Lee is an assistant professor of politics and international affairs at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School. She specializes in the international and domestic politics of statebuilding and state capacity.

The United States would be wise to avoid further conflict with Iran, especially given America's history of war in poor countries with politically mobilized populations. If past conflicts serve as a guide, such armed intervention could attract a dangerous wrath of nationalists in these countries. This is one of many conclusions drawn from a new book published by Atul Kohli, David K.E. Bruce Professor of International Affairs at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School. In this episode, he discusses this and other findings from the book, "Imperialism and the Developing World: How Britain and the U.S. Shaped the Global Periphery," published by Oxford University Press.

Some argue that U.S. foreign affairs should be left to Congress and the President. But as more executive and legislative actions arise in this arena, is a judicial defense of fundamental rights needed? “Restoring the Global Judiciary: Why the Supreme Court Should Rule in U.S. Foreign Affairs,” turns old arguments on their head, making the case for a stronger judiciary role in U.S. foreign policy. The book was penned by Martin Flaherty, a long-time visiting professor at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School and a professor at Fordham Law School, who joins us on the show today.

Free markets and representative elections triumphed throughout the 20th century, giving rise to a robust form of democratic capitalism. Today, this is under threat due to insurgent populism, extreme polarization, and crippling income inequality.How did we get here, and where are we going next? Carles Boix traces the history of democratic capitalism and how it's evolving in his new book, “Democratic Capitalism at the Crossroads: Technological Change and the Future of Politics.” We discuss it on the show today.Boix is the Robert Garrett Professor of Politics and Public Affairs in the Department of Politics and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University.

Health care in America is expensive, but it doesn't have to be, according to the late Uwe Reinhardt, a leader in health care policy. Reinhardt provides an incisive look at the American health care system in a new book, “Priced Out: The Economic and Ethical Costs of American Health Care,” published by Princeton University Press. Tsung-Mei Cheng, health policy research analyst at Princeton and Uwe's partner in work and life, discusses the nuances of health care in this episode and why Uwe was so passionate about explaining (and fixing) this complex system.Reinhardt taught at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and Department of Economics for nearly 50 years. Throughout his career, he strongly influenced American health care, serving as an adviser to the White House and other governments.

In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that federal courts do not have to address partisan gerrymandering claims. Sharing his response to this news in the audio clip below is Nolan McCarty, Susan Dod Brown Professor of Politics and Public Affairs, at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.McCarty's research interests include U.S. politics, democratic political institutions, and political game theory. His new book, “Polarization: What Everyone Needs to Know,” publishes July 1 by Oxford University Press. Click play to listen below; a transcript follows.

Of course, the partisan manipulation of legislative district boundaries is deeply concerning in the extent to which it can dilute the representation of the supporters of the minority party. Yet, I do have some reservations about the extent to which federal courts should be intervening in these issues. The primary one is that partisan gerrymandering is somewhat hard to detect and measure. The Republicans obtain a significant advantage in legislative districting through a pattern of political geography where Democratic voters are highly clustered in urban areas while Republican voters are more spread out. Thus, neutral boundaries that create compact and contiguous legislative districts can lead to a disproportionate number GOP-held districts because Democratic votes get wasted in the cities. It can be very hard to distinguish this “natural” gerrymander from deliberate partisan efforts to rig outcomes. While there have been a number of efforts to measure partisan gerrymanders, I am not persuaded that any of them do a very good job. In my experience, the courts are not very good at adjudicating these statistical disputes. Thus, judges are likely to choose those measures that given them the outcome that conforms to their ideological or partisan interests.A second reason is that partisan gerrymandering may be necessary to obtain fairer partisan outcomes. Recall that republicans have a natural advantage because Democrats are clustered in the cities. The way to offset this effect is to break cities into multiple districts that contain significant suburb populations. But because doing so would violate existing districting criteria of minimizing the fragmenting of municipalities, a judges might strike such a plan down for partisan gerrymandering.Finally, given the growing polarization and partisanship among the federal judiciary, I think we need to be vigilant about having its power over these sorts of issues expand even more.Obviously, the decision means that the current plans will presumably remain in effect through 2022. It is possible however for plans to be struck down under state constitutions as happened recently in Pennsylvania.I would note however the plans in North Carolina and Michigan must be a curse for the GOP. A partisan GOP gerrymander is typically one in which the GOP gives its self a slight advantage in as many suburban districts as possible. If the GOP's decline in the suburbs continues its trend from 2018, several of those districts may flip blue.Although practical considerations give me some sympathy for the decision, I am troubled by what it says about the court. The decision was based on the doctrine of “political questions,” which holds that courts should not intervene in certain disputes involving the other branches of government. In theory, there is nothing inherently ideological or partisan about that doctrine. Yet, the votes on the Supreme Court followed a precise ideological pattern with all conservatives/Republicans supporting the majority opinion and all Democratic/liberal justices in the minority. But ironically, it is this judicial branch polarization which makes the political question doctrine an important one.
