In enacting these changes, the institute is refocusing its mission on providing real-world solutions to problems facing democratic governance, officials said. “We aim to turn the Institute into the world??s leading center for understanding the reciprocal relationships between the quality of the institutions and practices of democratic governance and the persistence of urgent social problems,” Ash Institute Director Anthony Saich, who is currently in China, said in the press release.

Specifically, the U.S. should do everything possible to persuade Beijing to take action about Darfur. Looking south, the U.S. must remember Latin...
