Just Security’s Reinvention Blueprints asks a simple but urgent question: how should U.S. government institutions be structured to serve the public and meet today’s challenges – some longstanding, others particular to a moment of severe disruption, and many both?
Each of the authors in this series lends their deep expertise on a government institution, system, or program to identify specific governance challenges and set out concrete proposals for how to rebuild – not just to repair what is broken today, but to rethink what U.S. government institutions should be designed to do and how best to achieve these outcomes. Taken together, these will form a growing set of Reinvention Blueprints that policymakers, reformers, and the public can act on.
New Blueprints will be published on a rolling basis; please check back frequently as they are added to this page.
