Competing on Innovation Capacity

A technologically advanced economy wants to stay competitive by investing in AI, advanced chips, research universities, and private computing infrastructure. Map the full innovation ecosystem needed to turn scientific strength into commercial leadership: talent pipelines, energy supply, regulation, capital formation, and global market access. Which policies help a country move from being a strong manufacturer to becoming a durable innovation hub, and what bottlenecks most often limit that transition?

Managing Pollution and Health

View

Air pollution does not affect every community in the same way, and its health impacts can change with weather, age, and baseline medical risk. Build an analysis of how environmental exposures translate into public health emergencies. What kinds of data should governments collect to identify high-risk groups, and what interventions work best: emission controls, warning systems, hospital preparedness, or urban planning? Discuss how policy should balance long-term prevention with short-term medical response.

Incentives and National Service

View

A government wants to reduce draft evasion and improve compliance with national service, but harsher penalties can also intensify resentment, inequity, or avoidance behavior. Analyze how military manpower systems stay legitimate in modern societies. Compare punishment-based, incentive-based, and trust-based approaches, and explain which combinations are most likely to work across different social groups. Include the political, ethical, and administrative risks of each model.

Foreign Policy Through Delegations

View

When a smaller democracy sends a cross-party delegation to a major partner, the trip is about more than symbolism: it can signal internal unity, reassure allies, and open channels for trade, security, and technology cooperation. Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of bipartisan or cross-party diplomacy. When does it build credibility, and when can it blur accountability or create mixed messages? Use real-world examples and propose a framework for deciding when such visits are most effective.

Preparing for Extreme Weather

View

A coastal society faces stronger typhoons, heat waves, and shifting rainfall patterns that strain transportation, health systems, and disaster response. Design a practical resilience strategy that combines early warnings, public communication, urban design, and emergency logistics. Which measures deliver the biggest reduction in harm per dollar, and how should priorities differ for dense cities, rural communities, and critical infrastructure providers?

Balancing Defense Modernization

View

A democratic government wants to modernize its defense posture with new surveillance tools, drones, and cyber capabilities, but it also needs to prevent leaks, avoid escalation, and preserve civilian oversight. Analyze the trade-offs involved in building a more capable security apparatus: What institutions, procurement practices, and oversight mechanisms reduce risk without weakening readiness? Compare at least three approaches a country could use to improve deterrence while maintaining legitimacy.

The Social Life of Institutions

View

Compare how cultural change shows up in everyday institutions such as schools, office districts, markets, television, and entertainment industries. Focus on the forces that change how people relate to authority, nostalgia, family, work, and community in modern society. Then identify which changes are likely to endure and which are temporary responses to economic or technological pressure.

Competing in AI Hardware Sectors

View

Analyze how AI demand reshapes competition across semiconductors, memory, and specialized chips. Compare the advantages of firms that control critical hardware with the advantages of firms that control software, models, or customer relationships. Then evaluate what governments and companies can do to reduce dependence on foreign suppliers while still staying connected to global technology leaders.

Why Research Becomes National Capability

View

Explore how a country builds durable technological capability through universities, research publications, graduate training, and industry-linked talent pipelines. Use examples from robotics, semiconductors, and AI to compare the roles of academic prestige, applied research, and corporate hiring in strengthening an innovation ecosystem. Then design a strategy for converting strong research output into more startups, patents, and globally competitive products.

Competing in Global Innovation Networks

View

Analyze how companies and research institutions can use global conferences, trade shows, and overseas offices to build partnerships, attract customers, and enter new markets. Compare the strategic value of partnership-building versus direct product sales for science- and technology-heavy sectors. Then suggest a framework for deciding when a company should prioritize collaboration, licensing, co-development, or market expansion.

Building Industrial AI Systems

View

Examine how AI is being applied to industrial monitoring and failure detection in environments where leaks, outages, or defects can be costly and dangerous. Compare the technical requirements, data challenges, and deployment constraints of industrial AI with consumer AI products. Then outline what makes an industrial AI system trustworthy enough for safety-critical use, and what kinds of regulations or standards might be needed.

Designing Earlier Disease Detection

View

Analyze the broader opportunity and tradeoffs of using blood-based biomarkers, genetic signals, and other minimally invasive tests to detect diseases earlier. Compare the potential benefits for patients, clinicians, insurers, and public health systems with the risks of false positives, overdiagnosis, privacy concerns, and unequal access. Then propose a realistic roadmap for how a healthcare system could adopt earlier-detection tools responsibly.
