Lessons for 2012

  • War Powers.  James Baker and Warren Christopher led the Miller Center’s National War Powers Commission.  The unanimous report calls for the replacement of the 1973 War Powers Resolution with the proposed War Powers Consultation Act. 

  • Transportation Policy. Five former U.S. Secretaries of Transportation have worked with the Miller Center to draw attention to the nation’s transportation challenges in a new report, building on consensus recommendations of the country’s transportation experts.

  • In Uncertain Times. Leading scholars consider how policymakers react to dramatic developments on the world stage. Few expected the Berlin Wall to fall in 1989; no one anticipated the devastation of 9/11. Policy had to adjust to an inter­national arena completely transformed.

  • Miller Center - ABC News Debates. The Miller Center partners with “This Week” on the fourth season of its acclaimed debate series. The latest debate asked if the economic recovery is built to last. Four additional broadcasts will take place prior to Election Day.
