The Quest for Competence | Decadence Or Renewal?

The Hoover Institution hosted "Decadence or Renewal? Envisioning Competent Government in America", a workshop bringing together participants from across the political spectrum to develop an agenda to revive confidence that democratic government can actually work.

Mid-20th century America spectacularly succeeded in reforming government to meet the challenges of its day. How? What does it mean to build government competence? What kind of professional training do leaders need? What are the habits of thought and action that need to be developed and cultivated? This panel of experts, with experience in government, academia, and the private sector, will discuss the substantive things that must be done to build a culture of government competence to address the challenges of this era.
