Charlie English, The CIA Book Club: The Secret Mission to Win the Cold War with Forbidden Literature
During the Cold War, a program sponsored by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) coordinated the secret distribution of books to key individuals, libraries, research institutes, cultural organizations, and universities and schools in six Warsaw Pact countries (Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, and eventually the Soviet Union) from mid-1956 through 1991. The “forbidden books,” over time, found their way to much of the wider…
Symposium on Shakespeare and Governance
Do Shakespeare’s plays teach students and practitioners of public administration important lessons about public ethics today? Contributors to this symposium explore that question by taking a careful look at some of Shakespeare’s most important and intriguing works. Despite their age, these plays may sharpen modern perceptions of the interpersonal, social, and political contexts that animate ethical decision-making in public organizations
Why Hotspur Can’t Take a Joke: Temperament and Leadership in Shakespeare’sHenry IV, Part 1
Attention should be given to the temperament, passions, and character integral to good leadership. Accordingly, Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part 1 provides a useful study of leadership and temperament. The framework of the play places the future Henry V—Prince Hal—between the comic Falstaff, on the one hand, and the ill-tempered Hotspur, on the other. Even more, Shakespeare sets up a comparison and contrast between Hal and Hotspur as a means of warni…

Leadership by Example: Cervantes's Deathbed Novel,Los trabajeros de Persiles y Sigismunda
Cervantes's deathbed novel, The Trials of Persiles and Sigismunda: A Northern Story, uses the pilgrimage of the two eponymous protagonists to show them as exemplars of the virtues not only necessary for ordinary life, but also those qualities essential to true leadership. The novel constitutes Cervantes's final written words, barely completed in partial rough draft before he expired, and accordingly might be considered his last words on the ideas…

Rethinking the Values of War: The Trojan Battle Deliberations in Troilus and Cressida
The concept of honor is a prominent value in martial behavior and military decisions. It may be pursued for good or for ill, and the role it plays depends upon how well it is governed by strong character, especially the virtues of courage, magnanimity, and prudence as defined and illustrated by the Greek philosopher Aristotle and the Greek historian Thucydides. Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida, set in the context of the Trojan War, shows by neg…

by the attributes set forth here. They are passive, parochial, and initially uncommitted to political science. Yet, in the face of the important challenges that will confront them once they leave higher education, it is crucial that they become more active problem-solvers, open their horizons to other parts of the world, and develop a sense for how politics is important to human beings everywhere. We must do a better job of training thinkers and …
