Show notes

RealClear Cyber Today host Andrew Walworth discusses the future of cyber conflict and the quickly evolving world of cyber strategy with New York Times National Security Correspondent David Sanger, author of the new book The Perfect Weapon: War, Sabotage and Fear in the Cyber Age. In an era marked by increasingly aggressive use of cyber weapons by a range of adversaries, US policymakers have been slow to develop a coherent strategy for their use, even as America deploys its own cyber arsenal against foreign targets. In an in-depth interview, Sanger discusses how the US is already both an aggressor and defender in a multitude of cyber conflicts, and why it is vital that American policymakers develop strategies and norms regarding cyber weapons and their use.

Episode 5: Reforming the Administrative State Jul 26, 2017

Show notes

In this fifth episode, Tony talks with Elaine Kamarck of the Brookings Institution and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. A founding director of the Clinton administration's National Performance Review, she makes a case for reforming rather than abandoning the administrative state by improving Congressional oversight, making agencies more efficient, and clarifying what we think the federal government should and should not be doing in the first place. Their discussion touches on the erosion of congressional power, civil service reform, and the impact of technology on the federal bureaucracy.

Episode 4: Empowering the Administrative State Jul 19, 2017

In this fourth episode, Tony talks with Nicholas Bagley, a professor of law at the University of Michigan, who argues that contemporary critiques of executive power miss the mark. What we really need, he thinks, is not more “judicial review” of administrative actions, but more “judicial humility.” Their discussion touches on the nature of regulatory oversight, the role of the courts, and today’s political dysfunction.

His most recent book, Valuing Bureaucracy: The Case for Professional Government, makes a positive case for the administrative state. Their discussion touches on prospects for bureaucratic reform as well as the constitutional and practical implications of federal agencies’ increasing reliance on private-sector contractors.

Episode 2: Confronting the Administrative Threat Jul 05, 2017

Show notes

The Future of the Administrative State is a weekly podcast, hosted by RealClearPolicy editor Tony Mills, that explores the virtues and vices of administrative power in the era of Trump.

In a discussion that touches on the monarchical concept of absolute power and German political philosophy, Hamburger explains why he thinks the administrative state not only violates the separation of powers, but also threatens Americans’ civil liberties.
