There's a reason India and the U.S. aren't better friends
Amit Seru is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and a professor of finance at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Washington and New Delhi still can't seem to become true allies. The reasons lie in a half-century of misaligned interests — and unless both countries confront that past and stop repeating it, the future will belong to others.

Rishi Sunak: A 21st-Century Democratic Alliance
The next decade will be one of the most dangerous yet most transformational periods the world has ever seen. Democratic market states must seize this moment and shape it. If they don't, it will be the axis of authoritarian states—China, Russia, Iran and North Korea—that takes advantage of this opportunity. The international order that has existed since the end of the Cold War is gone and won't return. Electorates have rejected it, and its limits have become all too apparent. Technology is transforming the world. Old-fashioned great-power competition is returning. In China the U.S. faces a credible economic, technological and military rival for the first time in 40 years. Economic, security and technology cooperation must go hand in hand in this environment. Neither standard free-trade agreements nor 19th-century-style military alliances are sufficient to the moment. We need to create a partnership that spans all of these areas, and I am delighted to be working with my colleagues at the Hoover Institution on this issue. The U.S. must realize that no country on its own can face down the axis of authoritarian states. But together, democratic market economies can outcompete any rival coalition and deliver peace and prosperity for their people. We can't expect to benefit from our friends' protection if we don't contribute ourselves. Europeans must be willing to make greater sacrifices for our own security. So the keystone of this new partnership must be for everyone to increase defense spending.

Harvard Explores New Center for Conservative Scholarship Amid Trump Attacks
Harvard leaders have discussed creating a program that people briefed on the talks described as a center for conservative scholarship, possibly modeled on Stanford's Hoover Institution, as the school fights the Trump administration's accusations that it is too liberal. The idea has circulated at the university for several years but gained steam after pro-Palestinian protests began disrupting campus in late 2023. Harvard has discussed the effort with potential donors, people familiar with the matter said. The cost of creating such a center could run somewhere between $500 million and $1 billion, a person familiar with Harvard's thinking estimated.
