Financial Times Features ISSE's Research on Emergency Powers

In its August 10, 2026 international edition, the Financial Times featured ISSE in a front-page article by Amy Mackinnon examining debates over executive power, democratic guardrails, and the role of former national security officials in contemporary American politics. ISSE's contribution focused on our ongoing nonpartisan research examining how emergency powers may affect constitutional governance, including our current project assessing the legal authorities that could be invoked during a future U.S. election-related crisis. The Financial Times article reflects the growing public interest in emergency governance while highlighting ISSE's role as a research institution dedicated to understanding the constitutional operation of exceptional powers.
