The 2015 Global Peace Index reveals a divided world, with the most peaceful countries enjoying increasing levels of peace and prosperity, while the least peaceful countries spiral into violence and conflict.
www.visionofhumanity.org
Explore the state of world peace on the interactive Global Peace Index map.
Researchers at the Institute for Economics and Peace have analysed 23 indicators to gauge the absence of violence or the fear of violence in 162 countries over the past eight years.
Globally, levels of peace remained stable over the last year, however the world is slightly less peaceful than it was in 2008.
Since last year, 81 countries have become more peaceful, while 78 have deteriorated.
Many countries in Europe, the world’s most peaceful region, have reached historically high levels of peace. This is largely due to reduction in the number of homicides, decrease in military expenditure, and the withdrawal of forces from Iraq an Afghanistan. 15 of the 20 most peaceful countries are in Europe.
The Middle East and North Africa is now the world’s least peaceful region for the first time since the Index began, due to an increase in civil unrest and terrorist activity.
This has led to a sharp rise in the number of refugees and Internally Displaced People (IDPs).
Globally the intensity of internal armed conflict has increased dramatically, with the number of people killed in conflicts rising over 3.5 times from 49,000 in 2010 to 180,000 in 2014.
The economic impact of violence reached a total of US$14.3 trillion or 13.4% of global GDP last year.

Every year, the Global Peace Index (product of the Institute for Economics and Peace) attempts to determine the level of peacefulness of 162 world´s largest countries. Measuring the countries’ peacefulness is a complex process based on evaluating a wide range of indicators. There are 22 indicators in total, including things like number of external and internal conflicts, relations with neighboring countries, political instability, terrorist activity, number of homicides per 100,000 people, number of jailed persons per 100,000 people, nuclear and heavy weapons capability and many more. Since 2007 when the project was launched, Iceland has always been the safest and most peaceful country in the world. In this year´s TOP 5 peaceful countries, Iceland (this year´s score 1.189) was followed by Denmark (1.193), Austria (1.200), New Zealand (1.236), and Switzerland (1.258). In these countries, as well as in those which ranked close by, you should not worry about your safety. But let us have a look at the other end of the chart. These 25 countries have been listed as the most dangerous countries in the world and definitely should not be among your vacation destinations.

January 15, 2015 | On January 15-16, the Religious Freedom Project hosted a British Council workshop on religious understanding. The event consisted of five panel discussions, two roundtables, and three other breakout sessions. In addition to a host of university professors—representing Georgetown, George Washington, the University of Minnesota, the University of Florida, and University of Leeds—this event welcomed representatives from US Department of State, World Bank, Institute for Global Engagement, Institute for Economics and Peace, American Academy of Religion, and Atlantic Council.
The keynote panel, led by Brian Grim and Alex Thurston, addressed religious dynamics in the Horn of Africa. Subsequent panels covered topics including: the interaction of religious and political priorities in the region; barriers to religious engagement; religion and development; and policy makers’ engagement with religious leaders.
A roundtable discussion concluded each day. The first addressed historical policy decisions that were not sufficiently attentive to the role and influence of religion. The second addressed how to broaden the conversation from protecting religion from discrimination to include opportunities for economic and social development.

Alicia Eggert + Safwat Saleem: The FutureAlicia Eggert + Safwat Saleem: The Future
The Future: an installation by TED Senior Fellows Alicia Eggert + Safwat Saleem, TED2015, Vancouver The Future illuminates the overall state of peace or conflict around the world. Each light bulb represents one of the world’s 206 sovereign states; bulbs representing states at peace are lit, while bulbs representing states in conflict are unlit. By intentionally simplifying complex issues and representing peace and conflict as binary on/off states, The Future is designed to instigate conversations and create awareness about conflicts across the globe that affect billions of people. The Future may look rather grim and dark at this particular moment in time, but our hope is that the project inspires people to reflect on what can be accomplished to make the world brighter and more peaceful. Determinations regarding the peace or conflict status of individual sovereign states are made using data culled from the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) and warsintheworld.com.

The Future: an installation by TED Senior Fellows Alicia Eggert + Safwat Saleem, TED2015, Vancouver The Future illuminates the overall state of peace or conflict around the world. Each light bulb represents one of the world’s 206 sovereign states; bulbs representing states at peace are lit, while bulbs representing states in conflict are unlit. By intentionally simplifying complex issues and representing peace and conflict as binary on/off states, The Future is designed to instigate conversations and create awareness about conflicts across the globe that affect billions of people. The Future may look rather grim and dark at this particular moment in time, but our hope is that the project inspires people to reflect on what can be accomplished to make the world brighter and more peaceful. ... -

What Can Data Tell Us About Trends in Terrorism?
What Can Data Tell Us About Trends in Terrorism? Please join us as we announce the findings of the inaugural Global Terrorism Index. The first-ever Global Terrorism Index (GTI) provides a metric for policymakers to track terrorism and its related factors in order to inform a practical debate about the future of terrorism. It presents a new methodology to assess the countries which have been most impacted by terrorism and highlights the countries that have seen the largest growth and reduction in terrorism activity over the last 10 years. The GTI tracks changing trends in terrorism over time, as well as analyzing its different dimensions in terms of geographic activity, methods of attack, organizations involved and its national context.

Applying Peace Economics in Dangerous Places: A Book Launch
Date: October 23, 2012 Creating a sound economic policy and a stable macroeconomic framework is essential to societies recovering from violent conflict, yet few practitioners have the background needed to apply economic concepts effectively. USIP's new publication titled "Peace Economics: A Macroeconomic Primer for Violence-Afflicted States" provides a concise but broad overview of practical ways that sound macroeconomic fundamentals could be used to build stability in states that are affected by violent conflict. The discussion extends beyond economic principles into the wider realm of social reconstitution, social contract, and social capital. Co-authors, Jurgen Brauer and J. Paul Dunne, examine recent case studies and illustrate the applicability of concepts presented in the book. Mo... -

The 2015 Global Peace Index reveals a divided world, with the most peaceful countries enjoying increasing levels of peace and prosperity, while the least peaceful countries spiral into violence and conflict.
www.visionofhumanity.org
Explore the state of world peace on the interactive Global Peace Index map.
Researchers at the Institute for Economics and Peace have analysed 23 indicators to gauge the absence of violence or the fear of violence in 162 countries over the past eight years.
Globally, levels of peace remained stable over the last year, however the world is slightly less peaceful than it was in 2008.
Since last year, 81 countries have become more peaceful, while 78 have deteriorated.
Many countries in Europe, the world’s most peaceful region, have reached historically high levels of peace. This is largely due to reduction in the number of homicides, decrease in military expenditure, and the withdrawal of forces from Iraq an Afghanistan. 15 of the 20 most peaceful countries are in Europe.
The Middle East and North Africa is now the world’s least peaceful region for the first time since the Index began, due to an increase in civil unrest and terrorist activity.
This has led to a sharp rise in the number of refugees and Internally Displaced People (IDPs).
Globally the intensity of internal armed conflict has increased dramatically, with the number of people killed in conflicts rising over 3.5 times from 49,000 in 2010 to 180,000 in 2014.
The economic impact of violence reached a total of US$14.3 trillion or 13.4% of global GDP last year.

Every year, the Global Peace Index (product of the Institute for Economics and Peace) attempts to determine the level of peacefulness of 162 world´s largest countries. Measuring the countries’ peacefulness is a complex process based on evaluating a wide range of indicators. There are 22 indicators in total, including things like number of external and internal conflicts, relations with neighboring countries, political instability, terrorist activity, number of homicides per 100,000 people, number of jailed persons per 100,000 people, nuclear and heavy weapons capability and many more. Since 2007 when the project was launched, Iceland has always been the safest and most peaceful country in the world. In this year´s TOP 5 peaceful countries, Iceland (this year´s score 1.189) was followed by Denmark (1.193), Austria (1.200), New Zealand (1.236), and Switzerland (1.258). In these countries, as well as in those which ranked close by, you should not worry about your safety. But let us have a look at the other end of the chart. These 25 countries have been listed as the most dangerous countries in the world and definitely should not be among your vacation destinations.

January 15, 2015 | On January 15-16, the Religious Freedom Project hosted a British Council workshop on religious understanding. The event consisted of five panel discussions, two roundtables, and three other breakout sessions. In addition to a host of university professors—representing Georgetown, George Washington, the University of Minnesota, the University of Florida, and University of Leeds—this event welcomed representatives from US Department of State, World Bank, Institute for Global Engagement, Institute for Economics and Peace, American Academy of Religion, and Atlantic Council.
The keynote panel, led by Brian Grim and Alex Thurston, addressed religious dynamics in the Horn of Africa. Subsequent panels covered topics including: the interaction of religious and political priorities in the region; barriers to religious engagement; religion and development; and policy makers’ engagement with religious leaders.
A roundtable discussion concluded each day. The first addressed historical policy decisions that were not sufficiently attentive to the role and influence of religion. The second addressed how to broaden the conversation from protecting religion from discrimination to include opportunities for economic and social development.

On January 15-16, the Religious Freedom Project hosted a British Council workshop on religious understanding. The event consisted of five panel discussions, two roundtables, and three other breakout sessions. In addition to a host of university professors—representing Georgetown, George Washington, the University of Minnesota, the University of Florida, and University of Leeds—this event welcomed representatives from US Department of State, World Bank, Institute for Global Engagement, Institute for Economics and Peace, American Academy of Religion, and Atlantic Council.
The keynote panel, led by Brian Grim and Alex Thurston, addressed religious dynamics in the Horn of Africa. Subsequent panels covered topics including: the interaction of religious and political priorities in the region; barriers to religious engagement; religion and development; and policy makers’ engagement with religious leaders.

The Future: an installation by TED Senior Fellows Alicia Eggert + Safwat Saleem, TED2015, Vancouver
The Future illuminates the overall state of peace or conflict around the world. Each light bulb represents one of the world’s 206 sovereign states; bulbs representing states at peace are lit, while bulbs representing states in conflict are unlit.
By intentionally simplifying complex issues and representing peace and conflict as binary on/off states, The Future is designed to instigate conversations and create awareness about conflicts across the globe that affect billions of people. The Future may look rather grim and dark at this particular moment in time, but our hope is that the project inspires people to reflect on what can be accomplished to make the world brighter and more peaceful.
Determinations regarding the peace or conflict status of individual sovereign states are made using data culled from the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) and warsintheworld.com.

What Can Data Tell Us About Trends in Terrorism?
Please join us as we announce the findings of the inaugural Global Terrorism Index.
The first-ever Global Terrorism Index (GTI) provides a metric for policymakers to track terrorism and its related factors in order to inform a practical debate about the future of terrorism. It presents a new methodology to assess the countries which have been most impacted by terrorism and highlights the countries that have seen the largest growth and reduction in terrorism activity over the last 10 years.
The GTI tracks changing trends in terrorism over time, as well as analyzing its different dimensions in terms of geographic activity, methods of attack, organizations involved and its national context. The index explores significant correlations with other socio-economic indicators.
The GTI scores 158 countries from 2001 to 2011. Produced by the Institute for Economics and Peace, the GTI is based on data from the Global Terrorism Database (GTD), which is collected and collated by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) headquartered at the University of Maryland.

Date: October 23, 2012
Creating a sound economic policy and a stable macroeconomic framework is essential to societies recovering from violent conflict, yet few practitioners have the background needed to apply economic concepts effectively. USIP's new publication titled "Peace Economics: A Macroeconomic Primer for Violence-Afflicted States" provides a concise but broad overview of practical ways that sound macroeconomic fundamentals could be used to build stability in states that are affected by violent conflict.
The discussion extends beyond economic principles into the wider realm of social reconstitution, social contract, and social capital. Co-authors, Jurgen Brauer and J. Paul Dunne, examine recent case studies and illustrate the applicability of concepts presented in the book.

TRANSCRIPT
B: Hi my name is Ben and this is my co host Allen and we’re rebooting the Runlist
A: What does ISIS want?
A: What do you want from us ISIS?! What?!
B: Calm down man, calm down down we’re on air right now
A: Sorry I freaked out I’ve just been up all night thinking about ISIS and it’s driving me crazy.
B: Ok but we have a show to do today did you figure out what ISIS wants from us
A: I think so, I’m gonna be quick so stay with me.
B: ok
A: Isis heavily depends on recruiting new individuals from all over the world to boost its ranks. According to thinktank Institute for Economics and Peace over 30,000 foreign fighters have joined ISIS since 2011, a quarter of whom are from what we consider “western nations”
These foreign fighters are also some of the most violent and extreme members of ISIS
B: Yea because they actually traveled all the way to syria or iraq... you go to be pretty to crazy do that. So it’s like adding Jet Fuel to the fire.
A: Right and in order to continue to attract these foreign fights, ISIS’s recruitment message is that they have established a Caliphate and it’s amazing place where Muslims can live unharassed and happy… but in order to preserve their paradise they need to make jihad against us, or else they’ll murdered and slaughtered by the West.
B: Which is a complete lie.
A: Yeah but think about it like this when you and me are reading about the November 13th attack on Paris that killed 129. People in the Muslim community are reading about how hate crimes against Muslims have increased by 400% in the UK.
B. Remember that woman who was shoved into an oncoming train in the London Underground.
A: Exactly relatively speaking hate crimes and mass murder terrorist attacks are on a completely different level.
B: But for the Muslim community it strikes closer to home, especially when they themselves have been victims of these attacks
A: Right and every time we firebomb a mosque or shove a hijab wearing woman into an train, we are playing directly into ISIS propaganda, which depends on one thing an aggressor they can rally around.
B: During the recent London Tube Knife attack the suspect was heard yelling “This is for Syria, my muslim brothers!”
A: He was most likely talking about the UK airstrikes that just started a few days before that attack.
B: So basically ISIS wants western militaries to put boots on the ground to escalate the fighting
A: Yea it's like fighting fire with fire, the more ISIS fighters we kill the more martyrs we create which strengthens their message which leads to more people joining ISIS.
B: But we can’t just stop bombing ISIS and let them operate freely.
A: No definitely not we need to continue to apply military pressure against them, but that’s not the end game, that’s something we’ll talk about on another episode.
B: So what does ISIS want from us?
A: Simple they want non-muslims and muslims to hate each other. They want us to fear each other, not understand each other and eventually kill each other. Isis is a group that feeds off of hatred and fear. And it’s creating this huge ball of angry black Hatred and its engulfing the world
B: Right so the next there is an attack and you find yourself full of rage, Don’t play into Isis’ hands, don’t fuel their message by alienating innocent Muslims in the west
A: Just take a deep breath and let those emotions go.

The 2015 Global Peace Index
Is the world becoming more peaceful or are we deteriorating into violence and conflict? What are the global and regional trends in peace? What are the main factors that build peace and how can we prevent violence in the future? The Global Peace Index explores these questions, analyzing recent trends in militarization, safety and security, and ongoing conflict.

"Boom Bust" AT&T;’s surveillance and Amazon’s bruising culture
Over the weekend, we learned that telecommunications giant AT&T; provided extensive assistance to the NSA while the agency conducted surveillance on any and all internet traffic passing through the US. We already knew that AT&T;, just like many other telecommunications companies, had worked with the agency, but now we’re learning about the extent to which the company may have shown, as one document put it, the “extreme willingness to help” the government. Ameera David weighs in. Then, Ameera and Erin Ade talk about a recent report in The New York Times about what it’s like to work at Amazon. The article highlights instances of employee abuse which many claim were systemic to the organization. It also prompted a public response from founder Jeff Bezos.

"Boom Bust" Chinese market meltdown and the secret Greek Plan B
In 2009, then-California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger mandated a plan by which Californians getting tax refunds and other vendors owed money by the state received IOUs instead of US dollars. Why is this relevant in 2015? Apparently former Greek finance minister was tasked to do the same thing for Greece, using the California experience as a model. Boom Bust’s Edward Harrison weighs in. Then, Edward is joined by Marshall Auerback – research associate at Levy Economics Institute and fellow at Economists for Peace and Security. Marshall tells us why Chinese stocks are falling and gives us his take on if we’re seeing capital flight out of China. After the break, Bianca Facchinei takes a look at the concern over the health of US stock markets as gains stumble. According to JonesTrading, only ... -

Careers in Public Policy and the Think Tank World
Justin Wolfers, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, took part in the Think Tank Diversity Consortium's (TTDC) first Careers in Public Policy event on May 9, 2015, at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (CEIP). As part of the TTDC's mission to increase diversity in the think tank and public policy arena, the event was held to offer high school and first-year college students in the Washington area an opportunity to learn from researchers at internationally known organizations how to prepare for a career in public policy. Wolfers's key advice was to become an expert on one specific issue rather than mediocre in several fields. While economics is not the only option, policymakers are especially interested in advice from economists. Beyond the think... -

Patrick Jake "P. J." O'Rourke (/rʊərk/; born November 14, 1947) is an American political satirist, journalist, writer, and author. O'Rourke is the H. L. Mencken Research Fellow at the Cato Institute and is a regular correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly, The American Spectator, and The Weekly Standard, and frequent panelist on National Public Radio's game show Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!. In the United Kingdom, he is known as the face of a long-running series of television advertisements for British Airways in the 1990s.
He is the author of 20 books, of which his latest, The Baby Boom: How It Got That Way (And It Wasn’t My Fault) (And I’ll Never Do It Again), was released January 2014. This was preceded on September 21, 2010, by Don't Vote!-It Just Encourages the Bastards, and on September 1, 2009, Driving Like Crazy with a reprint edition published on May 11, 2010. According to a 60 Minutes profile, he is also the most quoted living man in The Penguin Dictionary of Modern Humorous Quotations.
P. J. O'Rourke was born in Toledo, Ohio, the son of Delphine Loy, a housewife, and Clifford Bronson O'Rourke, a car salesman.[1][2] He attended Toledo's DeVilbiss High School, graduating in 1965. He did his undergraduate work at Miami University, in Ohio, and earned an M.A. in English at Johns Hopkins University while a brother of the Alpha Delta Phi Literary Society. He recounts that during his student days he was a left-leaning hippie, but that in the 1970s his political views underwent a volte-face. He emerged as a political observer and humorist with libertarian viewpoints.
O'Rourke wrote articles for several publications, including The Rip Off Review of Western Culture an underground magazine/comic book in 1972, entitled A.J. at N.Y.U. and also for the Baltimore underground newspaper Harry and the New York Ace, before joining National Lampoon in 1973, where he served as managing editor among other roles and authored articles such as "Foreigners Around the World" and "How to Drive Fast on Drugs While Getting Your Wing-Wang Squeezed and Not Spill Your Drink." He received a writing credit for National Lampoon's Lemmings which helped launch the careers of John Belushi, Chevy Chase and Christopher Guest. He also co-wrote National Lampoon's 1964 High School Yearbook with Douglas Kenney. O'Rourke said later that Kenney brought comedy to the piece and he brought the organization. The Yearbook was a bestseller and some themes were later used in the movie Animal House.
Going freelance in 1981, O'Rourke began publishing in magazines such as Playboy, Vanity Fair, Car and Driver, and Rolling Stone. He became foreign-affairs desk chief at Rolling Stone, where he remained until 2001. In 1996, he served as the conservative commentator in the point-counterpoint segment of 60 Minutes.
O'Rourke was married to Amy Lumet, a daughter of movie director Sidney Lumet and a granddaughter of Lena Horne, from 1990 to 1993. Since 1995 he has been married to his second wife, Tina, and they have two daughters, Elizabeth and Olivia, and one son, Clifford. O'Rourke splits his time between the small town of Sharon, New Hampshire, and Washington, D.C.
O'Rourke has published 16 books, including three New York Times bestsellers. Parliament of Whores and Give War a Chance reached #1 on the New York Times Best Seller List. O'Rourke was a "Real Time Real Reporter" for Real Time with Bill Maher covering the 2008 Presidential Election.
O'Rourke revealed on September 28, 2008, that he has been diagnosed with treatable anal cancer, from which he can expect "a 95% chance of survival." His announcement is typical of his writing in that it handled a very serious subject within his humorous style.
In 2009, O'Rourke described the Presidency of Barack Obama as "the Carter administration in better sweaters".

We already knew that AT&T;, just like many other telecommunications companies, had worked with the agency, but now we’re learning about the extent to which the company may have shown, as one document put it, the “extreme willingness to help” the government. Ameera David weighs in.
Then, Ameera and Erin Ade talk about a recent report in The New York Times about what it’s like to work at Amazon. The article highlights instances of employee abuse which many claim were systemic to the organization. It also prompted a public response from founder Jeff Bezos.
Afterwards, Bianca Facchinei takes a look at why a non-profit filed a notice of intent to file a lawsuit against Soylent, the venture-backed meal replacement company. The group claims that Soylent failed to notify customers about dangerous levels of lead and cadmium.

wn.com/Boom Bust At T’S Surveillance And Amazon’S Bruising Culture
Over the weekend, we learned that telecommunications giant AT&T; provided extensive assistance to the NSA while the agency conducted surveillance on any and all internet traffic passing through the US. We already knew that AT&T;, just like many other telecommunications companies, had worked with the agency, but now we’re learning about the extent to which the company may have shown, as one document put it, the “extreme willingness to help” the government. Ameera David weighs in.
Then, Ameera and Erin Ade talk about a recent report in The New York Times about what it’s like to work at Amazon. The article highlights instances of employee abuse which many claim were systemic to the organization. It also prompted a public response from founder Jeff Bezos.
Afterwards, Bianca Facchinei takes a look at why a non-profit filed a notice of intent to file a lawsuit against Soylent, the venture-backed meal replacement company. The group claims that Soylent failed to notify customers about dangerous levels of lead and cadmium.

In 2009, then-California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger mandated a plan by which Californians getting tax refunds and other vendors owed money by the state received IOUs instead of US dollars. Why is this relevant in 2015? Apparently former Greek finance minister was tasked to do the same thing for Greece, using the California experience as a model. Boom Bust’s Edward Harrison weighs in.
Then, Edward is joined by Marshall Auerback – research associate at Levy Economics Institute and fellow at Economists for Peace and Security. Marshall tells us why Chinese stocks are falling and gives us his take on if we’re seeing capital flight out of China.
After the break, Bianca Facchinei takes a look at the concern over the health of US stock markets as gains stumble. According to JonesTrading, only six companies including Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Netflix, and Gilead make up over half of the value gains of the Nasdaq from this year.
Afterwards, Edward is joined by Erin Ade to talk about Israeli drug maker Teva Pharmaceuticals agreeing to acquire the generic drug division of Allergan for $40.5 billion in cash and stock.
And in The Big Deal, Edward and RT correspondent Manuel Rapalo discuss the federal probe into the practices of 5 major US airlines after allegations of price gouging following the deadly Amtrak train derailment in Philadelphia this May.

Ronald Ernest "Ron" Paul (born August 20, 1935) is an American physician, author, and politician, who is a former Republican congressman, two-time Republican presidential candidate, and the presidential nominee of the Libertarian Party in the 1988 U.S. presidential election.
Paul served as the U.S. Representative for Texas' 14th and 22nd congressional districts. He represented the 22nd congressional district from 1976 to 1977 and from 1979 to 1985, and then represented the 14th congressional district, which included Galveston, from 1997 to 2013. On three occasions, he sought the presidency of the United States: as the Libertarian Party nominee in 1988 and as a candidate in the Republican primaries of 2008 and 2012. Paul is a critic of the federal government's fiscal policies, especially the existence of the Federal Reserve, the tax policy, the military–industrial complex, and the War on Drugs. Paul was the first chairman of the conservative PAC Citizens for a Sound Economy[2] and has been characterized as the "intellectual godfather" of the Tea Party movement.[3][4]
A native of the Pittsburgh suburb of Green Tree, Pennsylvania, Paul is a graduate of Gettysburg College and the Duke University School of Medicine, where he earned his medical degree. He served as a flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force from 1963 to 1968. He worked as an obstetrician-gynecologist from the 1960s to the 1980s.[5] He became the first Representative in history to serve concurrently with a son or daughter in the Senate when his son, Rand Paul, was elected to the U.S. Senate from Kentucky in 2010.[6]
Paul is a Senior Fellow of the Mises Institute,[7] and has been an active writer, publishing on the topics of political and economic theory, as well as publicizing the ideas of economists of the Austrian School such as Murray Rothbard and Ludwig von Mises during his political campaigns. Paul has written many books on Austrian economics and classical liberal philosophy, beginning with The Case for Gold (1982) and including A Foreign Policy of Freedom (2007), Pillars of Prosperity (2008), The Revolution: A Manifesto (2008), End the Fed (2009) and Liberty Defined (2011).
On July 12, 2011, Paul announced that he would forgo seeking another term in Congress in order to focus on his presidential bid.[8] On May 14, 2012, Paul announced that he would not be competing in any other presidential primaries but that he would still compete for delegates in states where the primary elections have already been held.[9] At the 2012 Republican National Convention, Paul received 190 delegate votes. In January 2013, Paul retired from Congress but still remains active on college campuses, giving speeches promoting his libertarian vision.
In January 2013, a group of grassroots supporters offered the RonPaul.org domain to Paul, after hearing that Paul regretted not owning the site, also offering the mailing list of (but not the domain name) RonPaul.com, for $250,000.[196] In February, Paul filed a complaint with the World Intellectual Property Organization, a UN organization he has called to be disbanded, asking the agency to confiscate the domain names RonPaul.com and RonPaul.org from the group.[197] In May, WIPO rejected Paul's complaint[198] and declared him guilty of reverse domain hijacking[199] for filing a frivolous complaint against the group.[200][201]
In April 2013, Paul founded the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity, a foreign policy think tank that seeks to promote his non-interventionist views.[202] The institute is part of his larger foundation Foundation for Rational Economics and Education.
In the same month, he began to offer the Ron Paul Curriculum, a homeschool online curriculum developed by Gary North and taught from a "free market and Christian" perspective; it is free from grades kindergarten–5 and available to paid members from 6–12.[203]
In June 2013, Paul criticized the NSA surveillance program and praised Edward Snowden for having performed a "great service to the American people by exposing the truth about what our government is doing in secret".

Michael Walzer (/ˈwɔːlzər/; March 3, 1935) is a prominent American political philosopher and public intellectual. A professor emeritus at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton, New Jersey, he is co-editor of Dissent, an intellectual magazine that he has been affiliated with since his years as an undergraduate at Brandeis University. He has written books and essays on a wide range of topics—many in political ethics—including just and unjust wars, nationalism, ethnicity, Zionism, economic justice, social criticism, radicalism, tolerance, and political obligation. He is also a contributing editor to The New Republic. To date, he has written 27 books and published over 300 articles, essays, and book reviews in Dissent, The New Republic, The New York Review of Books, The New Yorker, The New York Times, Harpers, and many philosophical and political science journals.
Michael Walzer is usually identified as one of the leading proponents of the "communitarian" position in political theory, along with Alasdair MacIntyre and Michael J. Sandel. Like Sandel and MacIntyre, Walzer is not completely comfortable with this label.[citation needed] However, he has long argued that political theory must be grounded in the traditions and culture of particular societies and opposed what he sees to be the excessive abstraction of political philosophy. His most important intellectual contributions include Just and Unjust Wars (1977), a revitalization of just war theory that insists on the importance of "ethics" in wartime while eschewing pacifism; the theory of "complex equality", which holds that the metric of just equality is not some single material or moral good, but rather that egalitarian justice demands that each good be distributed according to its social meaning, and that no good (like money or political power) be allowed to dominate or distort the distribution of goods in other spheres; and an argument that justice is primarily a moral standard within particular nations and societies, not one that can be developed in a universalized abstraction.
In On Toleration, he describes various examples of (and approaches to) toleration in various settings, including multinational empires such as Rome; nations in past and current-day international society; "consociations" such as Switzerland; nation-states such as France; and immigrant societies such as the United States. He concludes by describing a "post-modern" view, in which cultures within an immigrant nation have blended and inter-married to the extent that toleration becomes an intra-familial affair.
Walzer was first employed in 1962 in the politics department at Princeton University. He stayed there until 1966, when he moved to the government department at Harvard. He taught at Harvard until 1980, when he became a permanent faculty member in the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study. In spring 2014, he taught at Harvard Law School as Caroline Zelaznik Gruss and Joseph S. Gruss Visiting Professor in Talmudic Civil Law.[3]
In 1971, Walzer taught a semester-long course at Harvard with Robert Nozick called "Capitalism and Socialism". The course was a debate between the two philosophers: Nozick's side is delineated in Anarchy, State, and Utopia (1974), and Walzer's side is expressed in his Spheres of Justice (1983), in which he argues for "complex equality".[4]
Walzer is a member of the editorial board of the Jewish Review of Books and an Advisory Editor at Fathom: For a deeper understanding of Israel and the region.
In April 2008, Walzer received the prestigious Spinoza Lens, a bi-annual prize for ethics in the Netherlands. He has also been honoured with an emeritus professorship at the prestigious Institute for Advanced Study.

Justin Wolfers, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, took part in the Think Tank Diversity Consortium's (TTDC) first Careers in Public Policy event on May 9, 2015, at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (CEIP). As part of the TTDC's mission to increase diversity in the think tank and public policy arena, the event was held to offer high school and first-year college students in the Washington area an opportunity to learn from researchers at internationally known organizations how to prepare for a career in public policy.
Wolfers's key advice was to become an expert on one specific issue rather than mediocre in several fields. While economics is not the only option, policymakers are especially interested in advice from economists. Beyond the think tank sector, Wolfers suggested international institutions, media and publishing, and academia as other rewarding options for young scholars interested in pursuing a career in public policy.
Human resource directors from the Peterson Institute for International Economics, the Brookings Institution, and CEIP cochaired the event.
