DIFFICULTIES IN ADDRESSING INTERNATIONAL ISSUES OR ADVISING GOVERNMENTS ON SOUND POLICIES

From my perspectives, addressing international issues or advising governments on sound policies are incredibly hard. If any one found it easy, they are doing it wrong. It requires lot of analytical skills. For instance,

1. It requires serious fact checking.

2. It requires new or more persuasive arguments, persuasive arguments offers different perspectives.

3. It requires clear thesis backed by rigorously marshaled evidence.

4. It requires complete information and being wrong has been consequences.

5. It requires learning to right.

7. It requires paternalistic theory consistently with sound arguments

8. It requires collective responsibility in problem solving.

9. It requires good connections and opinions acceptable to leaders.
