Claims by Richard Hanania (18)
Foreign Policy Lacks Accountability Feedback Loops
Self-interest distorts foreign policy more than domestic policy because foreign policy lacks the tight feedback loops and accountability mechanisms that discipline domestic outcomes, allowing special interests (generals, weapons manufacturers, foreign governments) to shape decisions without correction.
Authoritarian Governments and Fertility
Authoritarian governments may attempt to raise fertility through coercive or incentive-based pronatalist policies, but the question remains whether such regimes can actually reverse fertility decline given the deep cultural and economic drivers involved.
Money in Politics Debate for Foreign Policy
Limiting money in politics is debated as a remedy for special-interest capture of foreign policy, but the effectiveness and desirability of such limits are contested given that the underlying incentives may simply re-route influence through other channels.
Some Countries May Have Coherent Foreign Policy
While American foreign policy lacks coherence, some countries may have a more coherent foreign policy, suggesting that the degree of strategic coherence varies with a state's internal political structure rather than being absent everywhere.
Big Tech Is Liberal Due to Structural Forces
Big tech companies are predominantly liberal, and this leftward orientation is explained by structural and demographic factors—such as workforce composition and urban knowledge-economy selection—rather than by the inherent nature of technology.
