Pfiffner

|
In today’s culture, it is refreshing

of public policy at George Mason University, has accomplished
just that in his most recent book, Power Play: The
Bush Presidency and the Constitution (Brookings
Institution Press), which will be released this June.

The Confucian Academy of Hong Kong presented

relations and partnerships between the Mason Enterprise
Center (MEC) at the School of Public Policy (SPP) and various
universities, businesses, and municipalities across China.
