The term “Anarchism” typically calls up visions of bomb-throwers, terrorists and social chaos. This view is a caricature. Anarchist thought has a long and insightful history and is currently in the midst of a revival, both in theory and in practice. Our course will look briefly at the history of anarchist thinking. That done, we will explore some of the ways looking at the political past with an “anarchist squint” (as one scholar puts it) yields interesting, and sometimes uncomfortable, insights into our own political views – whether left, right, or center!

From the start of the Top Secret Stealth Fighter Project, it was shrouded in secrecy. Few people knew of the project and even fewer were chosen to work on the special aircraft. As the project moved from testing to operational status, the public occasionally heard stories of strange aircraft that flew over the Nevada Desert only at night. These stories grew into myths. Even though some were true, others were complete science fiction.
Come hear about this special aircraft and sneak a peek behind the curtain of secrecy that to this day has surrounded the F-117A Nighthawk.

Neoliberals argue that government should promote economic growth by unleashing the power of market competition through lower taxes, reduced regulation, and expanded free trade and immigration. Neoliberalism became America's dominant policy framework under President Reagan; President Clinton's declaration that "the era of big government is over" certified its victory. However, in the face of rising income inequality, China's assault on manufacturing jobs, and the Great Recession, the Left and Right alike have begun to assail Neoliberalism as an unjust and ineffective governing philosophy. This course explores the strengths and weaknesses of this increasingly controversial approach, and considers possible alternatives.

The 27th annual Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP27 for short) was a much-anticipated global conference held in November 2022. The key challenge of COP27 was funding: how the developed nations would help developing countries make the transition to a zero-carbon economy, while still progressing in economic and social development. In this session we will discuss what worked at COP27, what went wrong, and how the world community is revising its climate strategy in light of the post-COP27 reality.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 provides hundreds of billions of dollars to fund climate action initiatives by local and state governments. As such, the IRA represents a potential turning point in America's response to the climate crisis. In this session, we will look at the projects that states and localities have initiated to take advantage of IRA funding. We will pay particular attention to initiatives in Georgia, including our ACC government plan to take Athens to 100% clean and renewable energy.

A large majority of Americans across the political spectrum are concerned about the future of American democracy. Somewhat paradoxically, a large majority also question American democracy&'s present ability to address the country's fundamental challenges and the needs of ordinary citizens. Bob will present the case that conventional liberal and conservative approaches to public policy that have guided America since the end of WWII are both hopelessly exhausted. They will sketch fresh approaches and also suggest what fresh approaches could be too dangerous.
