Read MoreThe United States is divided over politics, and each major political coalition advances a distinct constitutional vision that aligns with its policy goals. Conservatives interpret the Constitution to protect religion, limit gun control, and obstruct federal administrative governance while allowing state-level regulation of moral questions like abortion. Progressives see a mirror-image constitution that advances social […]
Read MoreIn a world largely shaped by Silicon Valley tech giants, the BRICS countries—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, now expanding to new members —are emerging as influential players in the realm of digital policy and innovation. With 40% of the world’s population and a quarter of global GDP, the BRICS nations command substantial resources, […]
