EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In late spring 2016, the Arizona Legislature appropriated funding to Arizona State University to
create the School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership. The university has moved
swiftly to launch the new school, with all funding aimed at its creation. The School of Civic and
Economic Thought and Leadership adheres to the broad guidelines articulated in the
legislative intent and will house two current ASU centers: the Center for Political Thought and
Leadership and the Center for the Study of Economic Liberty. The centers – each with their
own funding from the university and private support – will coordinate their missions with the
new school to provide avenues for funded research, scholarly writing and community outreach.
The university created an advisory board with highly renowned scholars who have studied,
researched and written extensively about politics, history, philosophy, economics and
leadership. The advisory board will provide general advice and guidance on potential faculty
hires, conceptual vision and purpose, curriculum, and the mechanics of the school. In June
2016, we asked five of the nation’s preeminent scholars to serve and all agreed.
The advisory board has assisted in hiring a director for the school, Paul Carrese, who will
report directly to the dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, enabling the school to
function as a “single stand-alone academic entity.” The fundamental elements of the school
are already in place, including the theoretical outlines of a curriculum and the identification of
potential courses. These founding principles will guide faculty hiring and set the tone for
aggressive community outreach programs. Planning is underway to matriculate students into
courses in the fall of 2017. In fact, the Arizona Board of Regents approved the school on
September 22, 2016.
The university’s goal in creating the new school was simple: create an academically rigorous
school focused on grounding the next generation of national and international leaders in civic,
economic, political and moral thought. The works of time-honored thinkers, philosophers and
writers – who inform the broad and fundamental concepts of human civilization across
centuries – will serve as a source of inspiration for the school’s curriculum. The underlying
spirit of the school, though, will be guiding students to apply these concepts to contemporary
America while understanding how its values and institutions will be situated in the global
community across the 21st century.
Professor Mansfield, who crafted the mission statement included below, merges the past with
our present and the future, noting our obligations as educators: “Here we turn from the human
task of thinking for oneself to the civic vocation of contributing to our common life. As citizens
our students face the responsibilities of the nation and the work that will be theirs when their
time to lead arrives.”
In this document, we present a detailed status update of what we have accomplished since the
legislature acted. The key highlights include: biographical summaries of the scholars on the
advisory board and the new director, a mission statement, a strategic plan with benchmarks for
the first five years, the conceptual framework of the curriculum, an organizational structure, the
role of the research centers, a budget outline, location of the school, information demonstrating
the unique approach of the school compared to competitor universities around the country and
a plan for community outreach.
INTRODUCTION
The Arizona Legislature appropriated funding to create, launch and implement the School of
Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership at Arizona State University in the late spring of
2016. The legislative intent required the school to function as a “single stand-alone academic
entity” and house two current centers: The Center for Political Thought and Leadership and
The Center for the Study of Economic Liberty. The university embraced the idea
philosophically, conceptually and pedagogically, and have followed the legislative intent
diligently and carefully.
We present a detailed status update of our accomplishments in the four months since the
legislature acted. Our goal was simple and straightforward: create an academically rigorous
school with a curriculum focused on grounding the next generation of national and international
leaders in civic, economic, political and moral thought. We are using the works of great time-
honored thinkers, philosophers and writers as an anchor and starting point for the school’s
curriculum.
The school is unique among research-oriented universities in the nation because it provides
degree programs. We have taken a number of important steps to accomplish this goal, such as
receiving school approval from the Arizona Board of Regents on September 22, 2016.
ADVISORY BOARD
Our first step was to assemble an advisory board consisting of some of the very best scholars
who have studied, researched and written extensively about politics, history, philosophy,
economics and leadership. The role of the advisory board is to provide general advice and
guidance on potential faculty hires, conceptual vision and purpose, curriculum, and the
mechanics of the school. We asked five of the nation’s preeminent scholars in June 2016 and
all agreed to serve. In addition, we created the role of special advisor to provide further insight
into the applicability of the school’s curriculum to contemporary issues in American life. The
biographies of our advisors and special advisor are presented in Table 1.

MISSION STATEMENT
The advisory board has already assisted with the advancement of three key components of the
school: crafting the mission statement, guiding us to a talented school director and providing
insight on the school curriculum. Board member Harvey Mansfield, the William R. Kenan Jr.
Professor of Government at Harvard, wrote the school’s mission statement. Professor
Mansfield is unquestionably one of the nation’s premier political philosophers and
theoreticians. The mission statement is presented in Table 2.
TABLE 2: Mission Statement
A new school in Arizona State University should say why it exists and what it will do.
Universities in America today live in an atmosphere of a certain conformity of opinion and
suffer from an obvious lack of debate. Often there seems to be more open and vigorous
debate in American society and politics than where one should expect it, in the American
university. Yet the solution is not to bring in more politics and greater contention from
outside, thus disturbing the peace necessary in a university for study and scholarly inquiry.
This school seeks to introduce a new level of debate over the large questions of life that
always arise. These are questions of value: What is the best form of government? The most
efficient and just economy? The good life for an individual? And also basic questions of fact
and concept: Is science the only kind of knowledge? Does history have a direction and
purpose? Is moral choice a fact or delusion?
These questions do not have easy answers, and indeed the questions have always been
clearer than the answers. As a learning community of faculty and students, this school will
approach them in two ways. One way is to look beyond the time and borders of our present
society to the great thinkers who have contended for the high status of teachers of humanity.
Some, like Homer, Dante and Shakespeare, are known as literature; others, like Plato, Marx
and Nietzsche, known as philosophy. Both poets and philosophers make us aware that our
way of life is not the only way, and they combine to teach us how our way is distinctive and
how we ought to judge it.
The other way of studying the fundamental questions is to look within ourselves to the
American leaders, both intellectual and political, who have inspired us. Here we turn from the
human task of thinking for oneself to the civic vocation of contributing to our common life. As
citizens our students face the responsibilities of the nation and the world that will be theirs
when their time to lead arrives. We need to know what principles and institutions have made
us Americans and whether they need to be reformed or reasserted.
Since America was founded on certain ideas rather than a single race or nation, we need to
see what those founding ideas were. We need to see how they have guided our people to
live, and how we have changed, for better and worse. Ours is the most thorough and
enduring democratic society in history, and yet we debate its faults. We need to see how the
ideas of the Founding Fathers were both invoked and reformed through the succession of
leaders after them: by Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, Theodore and
Franklin Roosevelt, Martin Luther King and Ronald Reagan – and let’s not forget Mercy
Warren, Abigail Adams, Edith Wharton and Betty Friedan. Nor can we fail to mention the two
greatest books on America – “The Federalist” and Alexis de Tocqueville’s “Democracy in
America.”
In sum, our new school looks outward to humanity and inward to America. Its ambition is to
teach critical minds and to puncture complacency – and it tries to be both proud of genuine
greatness and humble about human imperfection.
DIRECTOR PAUL CARRESE
We have hired a director for the school, Professor and Director Paul Carrese, from the United
States Air Force Academy. He was identified by two members of the advisory board. He
begins his appointment officially on January 1, 2017, but he is actively consulting with us
during the fall of 2016. It is important to emphasize it is highly unusual to hire an academic
director this quickly. His biography and a snapshot of his academic writings are presented in
Table 3.
TABLE 3: Director Biography
Paul Carrese is professor of political science at the U.S. Air Force Academy, and co-founder
and former director of the Academy’s great-books honors program. He has been a Rhodes
Scholar at Oxford University, a post-doctoral research fellow at Harvard University, a
Fulbright Teaching Fellow at University of Delhi and a research fellow in the James Madison
Program in the Politics Department at Princeton University.
He is author of “The Cloaking of Power: Montesquieu, Blackstone, and the Rise of Judicial
Activism” (University of Chicago Press, 2003; paperback 2013) and “Democracy in
Moderation: Montesquieu, Tocqueville, and Sustainable Liberalism” (Cambridge University
Press, 2016). He has co-edited John Marshall’s “The Life of George Washington: Special
Edition” (Liberty Fund, 2001); “Constitutionalism, Executive Power, and the Spirit of
Moderation” (SUNY Press, 2016); and is currently co-editing “American Grand Strategy:
War, Justice, and Peace in American Political Thought” (Johns Hopkins University Press,
expected 2018).
He has published articles, book chapters and book reviews on political philosophy, American
political thought, constitutional law and jurisprudence, grand strategy, religion and politics,
and leadership and statesmanship. His occasional essays on American politics and foreign
policy have appeared in Commentary, The American Interest, The Claremont Review of
Books and Public Discourse. He has lectured or led seminars in many American universities
and colleges as well as in Canada, Great Britain, India and Israel. He earned his doctorate
at Boston College, and taught at Middlebury College before coming to the Air Force
Academy.

STRATEGIC PLAN AND BENCHMARKS
Director Carrese has already proposed a working draft of a 10-year strategic plan for the
school along with measureable benchmarks and outcomes. The plan is ambitious but doable.
Key staff will be hired during the fall of 2016. We will seek to hire several faculty members to
be in place by fall 2017 and plan to have put forward a sequence of courses by fall 2017.
Students will be able to matriculate in the school by fall 2017.
The working draft of the 10-year strategic plan and identifiable benchmarks are presented in
Tables 4 and 5.
TABLE 4: Strategic Plan
Ten-year goals, by Academic Year 2025-26 – internal and external; bold = six primary aims
1. Go big: recognized nationally as a center for scholarship, teaching, civil

discourse, and public comment on leadership and statesmanship, civic and
constitutional thought, and political economy – in both the broad tradition of
liberal education and about American life, thought and leadership; thus the school
would be seen as both an academic and public-intellectual resource, and leading hub
of discussion and debate, for not only Arizona but for the western region and the
country.
2. Well integrated into ASU’s academic mission and public service mission –
therefore a strong partner with various schools, programs and elements of the ASU
community; a vibrant “ASU faculty fellows” community as one element of this spirit.
3. Successful implementation of the several component elements and aims of the

school –from its academic/curricular program to its public outreach mission, toward
achieving a vibrant yet harmonious relationship between the two centers and the
other functional components of the school.
4. Attracting and supporting excellent faculty (scholars and teachers); visiting

fellows; prestigious advisory board members; staff – these people will define and
drive performance and presence/prestige of every other component of the school.
5. Attracting and supporting excellent undergraduates within ASU to the major,

concentration and “student fellows” programs – from Barrett, The Honors
College and beyond; assisting Honors and Admissions to recruit excellent
undergraduate students to ASU.
6. Attracting and supporting top masters and doctoral students into the graduate
program; for PhD, jointly with other ASU schools.
7. Strong relations with nationally prominent academic, civic, and public policy centers
and journals on liberal education, civic education, political economy, the American
founding, and leadership/statesmanship (to include grand strategy); through scholarly
networks, advisory board members, visiting fellows, donors, speakers and symposia
participants, publications.
8. Successfully assisting placement of undergraduate, master’s and Ph.D. students in

the next phases of their academic or professional careers; for undergraduates,
success in pursuing prestigious national and international fellowships.
9. Successful development program and campaigns to enrich academic stature and

civic mission of the school (e.g., endowed chair funded and held by world-class
scholar), to provide funding for competitive graduate student stipends.
10. Successfully managing any leadership transitions, e.g. director, asst. director, center
directors, advisory board.

SCHOOL CURRICULUM
The core curriculum is centered around great books and primary text that inform the broad and
fundamental concepts of human civilization across centuries. The important lessons in these
works continue to be applicable today and can be used to inform and understand
contemporary and future leadership behavior, approaches and strategies. The school will offer
a major and certificate organized around four themes:
1. the history of moral and political thought

2. the history of economic thought
3. American political and economic thought
4. the possibilities and problems of leadership
The major consists of 45 credit hours or 15 classes. There are 30 credit hours required for the
major. In addition, students must:
• complete two courses in each thematic area (6 credit hours)

• complete a capstone experience (3 credit hours)
• participate in an internship (3 credit hours)
There are 15 hours of electives distributed across the four thematic areas at the discretion of
the students.
Finally, there will be a curriculum for a certificate in core texts focused on the American
Founding. The certificate will require 24 credit hours or 8 courses. Students must complete two
courses in each of the four thematic areas.
POTENTIAL COURSES
The courses will be clustered according to the thematic areas of study. Many of the courses
listed below are already taught at ASU; however, in the school the core texts and books will
serve as the foundation for instruction.

ORGANIZATIONAL CHART
The organizational chart reflects the key role of the advisory board and the legislative intent to
fold the Center for the Study of Economic Liberty and the Center for Political Thought and
Leadership into the new school. Importantly, the director of the school reports directly to the
dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences capturing the spirit of the legislative intent to
create a school “as a single stand-alone academic entity.”
Plans are currently underway to hire two important staff members to begin work during the fall
2016 semester, an administrative assistant for Director Carrese and a budget office manager
to strategize and coordinate the school’s funding. Director Carrese will also launch several
faculty searches in the fall of 2016 and spring 2017 with the goal of having faculty in place by
fall 2017 when courses will begin and students matriculate in the school.

Finally, the organizational chart sets a course to create a program for visiting fellows modeled
after the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. Fellows may include faculty from across the
globe, highly visible journalists and columnists, directors and experts from research institutes,
centers and think tanks. Fellows will be in residence for various time intervals, for example a
week or as long as a year, and will take on a range of activities, such as teach, write and
participate in outreach programs including public lectures and forums. The College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences and Director Carrese have identified a number of potential fellows and their

RESEARCH CENTERS
Research centers play a number of functions at universities. At Arizona State University, our
centers facilitate the acquisition of funding to embrace research and scholarly publications,
promote interdisciplinary cooperation across schools and disciplines, provide studies and
commentary on contemporary and historical issues facing humanity and establish outreach
activities for the broader Arizona community.
The centers of Political Thought and Leadership and the Study of Economic Liberty are
established at ASU with their own funding streams from the university and private sources,
which will remain unchanged in the school. They are currently searching for funded research,
producing scholarly writing and delivering community outreach. They will coordinate these
activities with the new school. Table 6 provides relevant and key information for each research
center.
TABLE 6: Research Centers
Center for Political Thought and Leadership

Founded in 2014 by Donald T. Critchlow, the Center for Political Thought and Leadership at
Arizona State University seeks to train a new generation of leaders well-versed in the
principles of democracy. The center’s mission is to impart a deeper understanding of the
meaning of political liberty and economic well-being to the academic and larger public
community through undergraduate education, scholarly research and public events.
The basic goals and objectives of the Center for Political Thought and Leadership are to
provide a forum for national and international scholarship and research in political thought.
This scholarly/research mission is integrated into undergraduate education through the
undergraduate certificate program in political thought and leadership.
An equally important goal of the center is to provide a forum for international, national and
state leaders involved in public affairs, the legal community and the business community to
exchange and develop ideas about leadership and the meaning of leadership in their
respective fields within an academic setting. In this way, the center fulfills Thomas
Jefferson’s admonition for universities to combine academic knowledge with public practical.
Center for the Study of Economic Liberty

Founded in 2014, the Center for the Study of Economic Liberty is dedicated to serving
students and the public through research, education and community outreach on the most
pressing economic national and international economic policy issues.
Committed to the study of the role economic liberty and the free enterprise system play in
increasing opportunity and improving well-being, The Center for the Study of Economic
Liberty seeks to advance our understanding through independent thinking, scholarly debate,
factual argument, and clear, honest communication of research and policy findings. The
center is a non-partisan academic unit within the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona
State University.
BUDGET
The entirety of the budget, as appropriated and described in the legislative intent, “shall be
used only for the direct operation of the school and may not be used for indirect costs of the
university.” Arizona State University has adhered strictly to these guidelines. The three million
dollar proposed budget for the school is presented in Table 7. Director Carrese has been
funded within the budget.
The budget also includes funding for faculty hiring across professorial ranks, assistant,
associate and full, to match the needs of the curricular directions of the school. It is important
to hire a mix of scholars in order to meet the research and teaching needs of the school and to
immediately establish the school’s scholarly reputation. There is funding for fellows, as
described above, as well as an allocation of resources to launch graduate training.
Finally, there is considerable funding for outreach activities to highlight the successes of the
school and to increase its visibility among local, national and international communities. The
university, from President Crow’s office, is providing additional funding for these important
activities.

The university is providing immediate space in Discovery Hall for the school. Director Carrese
is operating out of this space and Figure 1 illustrates the space for the current home of the
school. There are plans to locate space in Coor Hall for the permanent location of the school.
Coor Hall currently houses a number of allied scholars who would interact with faculty in the
school, such as philosophers, political economists, political historians and political scientists.

NATIONAL PROGRAM COMPARISONS
The School for Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership is unique across the country
because it will offer undergraduate degrees immediately with the promise of graduate degrees
on the horizon. To be sure, there are a number of universities focusing on similar themes
located in research centers, foundations, institutes and programs. However, none have the full
array of undergraduate and graduate degrees, research-oriented faculty, fellows and
community outreach located in the School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH
A vital and important thrust for the School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership is
community outreach. Director Carrese’s strategic plan outlines a rich set of outreach activities
aimed at simultaneously connecting with the broader community while enhancing student
experiences, such as presenting forums, lectures and panel discussions on a wide range of
public policy issues relevant to local, national and global entities. His plan also outlines quick
implementation for a state-of-the-art home website for the school along with a newsletter
aimed at attracting new students and keeping interested community members abreast of
ongoing and future activities.
President Crow has allocated an extra $300k of funding per year from the university to help
maintain a vibrant outreach presence for the school. These funds were presented in the
budget discussion above.
The school will also partner with events currently scheduled in the Center for Political Thought
and Leadership and the Center for the Study of Economic Liberty. Both centers provide a
steady stream of monthly lectures and forums hosting politicians, scholars, journalists and
policy analysts. Community outreach is a key aspect of both centers’ missions and their
platforms will only be enhanced coordinating with the broader academic mission of the new
school.
Planning is currently underway for the marque event, to be held in spring 2017, to launch the
school in order to yield maximum visibility both inside the university and with the community at
large. Tentatively, the launch will be a set of connected events across a couple of days. The
official launch event will be incorporated into a breakfast setting in order to resonate with the
schedules of busy local dignitaries and public officials. This event will feature remarks by
President Crow and Director Carrese and an invitation has been extended to Governor Ducey
to speak as well. The same or next day there will be a public lecture by a keynote speaker and
some panel discussions led by members of the advisory board and/or potential visiting fellows.
In summary, community outreach is woven into the fabric of the new school. It is a key
component of Director Carrese’s strategic plan, there are additional funds available from the
university to heighten activities, it is currently underway in the two centers folding under the
school’s administrative structure and a launch event in the spring of 2017 will bring its mission
to a broader audience.

Virgil Sorr, George Mason University

Virgil Henry Storr is a senior research fellow and the Senior Director of Academic and Student
Programs at the Mercatus Center, a research associate professor of economics in the Department
of Economics, George Mason University and the Don C. Lavoie Senior Fellow in the F.A. Hayek
Program in Philosophy, Politics and Economics, Mercatus Center, George Mason University. He
holds a PhD in economics from George Mason University (Fairfax, Va.) and did his undergraduate
work at Beloit College (Beloit, Wis.).
Virgil’s first book on the Bahamas’ economic culture, “Enterprising Slaves & Master Pirates,” was
published by Peter Lang. In it, he argues that two ideal typical entrepreneurs dominate the
economic life in the Bahamas: the enterprising slave (encouraging Bahamian businessmen to work
hard, to be creative and to be productive) and the master pirate (demonstrating how success is
more easily attained through cunning and deception).
His “Understanding the Culture of Markets,” published by Routledge, explores how culture shapes
economic activity and describes how social scientists (especially economists) should incorporate
considerations of culture into their analysis. His book with Palgrave Macmillan, “Community Revival
in the Wake of Disaster: Lessons in Local Entrepreneurship” (with Stefanie Haeffele-Balch and
Laura E. Grube), argues that entrepreneurs promote community recovery after disasters by
providing necessary goods and services, restoring and replacing disrupted social networks, and
signaling that community rebound is likely and, in fact, underway.
