 FEATURED CASE
Venkatesh Narayanamurti and Ryan Ellis
(11 pages/epilogue and teaching note available)
In 2011, Dillon Beresford, a computer security expert, discovered a series of new vulnerabilities impacting components of widely used industrial control systems. These new previously unknown vulnerabilities--what are known as "zero-days"--were potentially very serious.
The case is designed to support a discussion of the costs and benefits associated with competing models of vulnerability disclosure. The trade in zero-days is a growing area of policy concern. The case can be used in courses on cyber policy, science and technology policy, or national security. It can be used to explore the concepts of public goods, dual-use technologies, and externalities. |

Together, the written case and video support set up a rich discussion about how Suu Kyi and her political party might approach a number of challenges, common to developing countries in transition, including skepticism among military leaders, the weak capacity of civilian government, and the potential for civil unrest.

The case helps students explore the role of information as a policy instrument to induce desired actions among external actors. Students closely examine if the State Department's annual Trafficking in Persons report and tier ranking process can help achieve the broader goal of reducing trafficking in Thailand. |
