For all its ability to activate political consciousness in young people and perpetually stimulate a personal need to be outwardly political—to be on the “right side of history” on every issue—most of progressivism’s accomplishments on bread-and-butter issues are opaque. As both disaffected liberals and Marxists of a populist bent have contended, progressives have leveled radical critiques of society without fundamentally disturbing the concentration of economic power and cultural capital. The result is that progressive ideas have permeated society without opening up new horizons for real change. The unexpected turn toward industrial policy, though not a distinct priority for millennial progressives, was also significant. In a tacit admission of neoliberalism’s mounting failures, Biden telegraphed to the entire political and economic establishment that the Democratic Party wouldn’t hesitate to use government to steer economic growth and shape markets in ways that better serve society. The range of political-economic possibilities unmistakably widened under a president whose reputation had suggested nothing of the sort.
Don’t be Constrained by Entry Point – I’ve occasionally seen good people lose out on great career opportunities because they quibbled over a job title or reporting line. Clearly because they have no track record of generating consulting revenue, and don’t have a client network. Also remember that there are people at the consultancy who have been climbing the ladder through hard work, dedication and internal-networking who are also reaching out for the same role you want. Inevitably you may have to accept a job title or remuneration package which is slightly below your current trajectory, but this will be for a short period while you prove yourself. The consultancies are some of the best paying employers, and in Partnerships, job titles and equity can’t be just given away to anyone who asks for it, you have to earn both. Expert Track – Working for a consultancy used to be a steady progression toward becoming a Partner or Managing Director.
PRIME PRIMARY — Kansas will hold a presidential primary next March, rather than its typical caucus. The Kansas Reflector’s Rachel Mipro writes that it is estimated to cost up to $5 million for 2024, and officials hope the different method — which hasn’t been used in decades — will boost turnout. CATTLE CALL — Republican presidential hopefuls descended upon Iowa over the weekend for the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition’s spring kick-off event.

In a recent publication, Morin-Chassé et al. (Reference Morin-Chassé, Bol, Stephenson and St-Vincent2017) present the results of 19 experiments testing the efficacy of replacing yes or no options with FSRIs (see Table 3). In Figure 1, Case IDs 1 to 5 present five additional experiments fielded as part of the same project.Footnote 3 The lines below report the same results as those published before by Morin-Chassé et al. The first is the average effect size of (−7.27 pp); the second is based on the combination of all individual survey responses (−6.82 pp). In addition to seconded observers, ODIHR may recruit a limited number of funded LTOs and STOs from eligible countries through its Diversification and Sustainability funds provided as voluntary extra-budgetary contributions by OSCE participating States. Experts are selected through an open recruitment procedure, based on their qualifications and experience according to the responsibilities and requirements stipulated in the terms of reference for each position.
Dark arts of politics: how ‘Team Jorge’ and Cambridge Analytica meddled in Nigerian election
Mr Kishor is India’s best-known political consultant and strategist, though he dislikes the description. He is seen as a high-profile handler of politicians and an astute tactician who has perfected the art of winning elections and influencing people. Service Offering Diversification – No longer are the strategy consultancies satisfied with handing over the client relationship to another consultancy once implementation phase commences. Vice versa, the restructuring and turnaround consultancies, and the management consultancies, are keen to position themselves to capture the tip-of-the-spear strategic assignments. This convergence of service offerings across consultancy-types provides alternative career paths for career-consultants, and new entry points for experienced executives with no prior consulting experience. The next day, it became clear that Barrow was going to pull off an astonishing win, ending decades of state-sponsored intimidation and human rights abuses that many Gambians had been fighting against for years. When all the votes were counted, Barrow had secured 43.3 percent of the total, compared with Jammeh’s 39.6 percent share.
Subianto’s running mate is outgoing leader Widodo’s son, prompting speculation of a dynasty in the making. Either winner, though, would mark a continuation of the corruption-tainted politics that have dominated Indonesia since the end of the Suharto dictatorship in 1998. Another leader seeking to retain power is El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, who has won widespread support since using emergency powers for an aggressive crackdown on ultra-violent street gangs. That said, front-runner William Lai, who is currently Taiwan’s vice president, has promised to strengthen the island’s defense, and a victory by him could heighten cross-strait tensions. The opposition Nationalist Party, or Kuomintang, is more amenable to Beijing than Lai’s Democratic People’s Party. Read more about Content Analysis here. Taiwan’s elections for president and the 113-member legislature take place Saturday under intense pressure from China, which makes the outcome important to much of the Asia-Pacific region, as well as to the U.S. It’s an unprecedented third consecutive term for the DPP, which got its start in the 1980s by activists and lawyers seeking formal independence for Taiwan.
The short answer is that while Bidenomics has many laudable elements, the administration and congressional Democrats have failed to make progress toward a new, more equitable social contract. This failure owes not just to contingent developments like the war in Gaza or the perennial zealotry of GOP budget hawks.
BFMTV host Rachid M’Barki sacked over influence claims linked to ‘Team Jorge’
Ruling-party candidate Lai Ching-te emerged victorious in Taiwan’s presidential election on Saturday and his opponents conceded, a result that will chart the trajectory of the self-ruled democracy’s relations with China over the next four years. Much of the problem pertains to the space—geographic, social, professional, and ideological—that progressives have occupied since Obama’s 2008 election. As the difficult recovery of the 2010s wore on, progressives in search of opportunity were further pulled into blue coastal cities, where grassroots activism was more likely to provide a ladder to the professional networks afforded by liberal civil society. Over time, this enmeshment with the winners of the knowledge economy would undermine the larger realignment project. At the same time, as Julius Krein has observed, “when it comes to actual governance, Democrats’ performance, particularly in progressive states and cities, is somewhere between weak and abysmal.” Most on the left are inclined to disregard such external critiques. But few progressives can point to any Democratic-controlled city where they enjoy influence and claim success on basic metrics of poverty, housing, residential and educational segregation, and other developmental outcomes.
Because of its kaleidoscopic agenda, progressivism suffered from an incoherence that made it all the more assimilable to the status quo. By parroting themes such as intersectionality and “dismantling patriarchy,” cultural and economic elites muffled more pointed attacks on the largest owners of capital and their high managers. At the same time, progressives’ embrace of maximalist positions on a range of complex social and cultural issues ultimately ran counter to efforts to forge a new economic consensus. This dynamic fatefully undermined progressives’ identification with the labor movement. Many of them were intimately familiar with the ways in which neoliberalism had removed economic security from ordinary people’s grasp. Yet their identitarian obsessions and purity tests didn’t alter perceptions that progressivism had little to do with New Deal-style goals like inclusive economic development and upward mobility.
The core team is composed of 10 to 15 international experts, depending on the size of the mission and the specific needs of the OSCE participating State to which a mission is deployed, and includes both analysts and operations experts. The world is radically moving towards a governance system where every individual has a voice and all are held accountable. There is simply no shying away from the technology that can be harnessed to achieve a government “of the people, for the people, and by the people”. Having successfully used EVMs over the years at such a large scale with little to no error, India is now moving towards becoming a ‘techno-democracy’. The reform of its electoral system has been truly innovative and revolutionary in reshaping governance that can be replicated in other democracies. The success of the EVMs in India warranted a comprehensive audit mechanism to verify the votes cast. In 2013, the Election Commission of India formally incorporated Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) machines in the electoral systems.
