Aisha Ahmad Thinks Policy Matters
"As scholars, we uncover hidden patterns that shape our social world, and discover new answers to the persistent problems we face. Remember, knowledge without action is injustice, but action without knowledge is criminal. The job of policymakers is therefore to take scholarly insights and turn them into practical steps to bring about a better world. "

Stefanie von Hlatky Thinks Policy Matters
"Policy matters because it helps establish priorities in international politics. Even if it is not always the case, defence and security policy should be guided by coherent foreign policy principles. Budget, capability and personnel needs can then be tied to specific policy objectives rather than politicized."
