Consider the problem of fake news from any perspective. You could look at efforts by Silicon Valley firms to develop a coordinated response to the growing evidence that Russia and other countries are “hacking” US elections. You could look at efforts by countries who that feel their political systems are distorted by fake news to team up into an effective response. There are many other possibilities as well—our interest is to see how you analyze the matters of collective action that may be needed to address fake news. Write 1100 – 1500 words (~2 pages 12-pt font, 1” margins, single-spaced) on how the logic of collective action applies. What is the collective action problem at the heart of your story? Does Olson help you understand that problem better? According to Olson what actions could make collective action more effective? We want to see you draw ideas from the case and connect them with the theory from Olson. This is meant as an exercise to get you thinking about how theory and practice are linked, and to get you comfortable with these foundational theories in policy-making. No more than half your memo should summarize the logic of collective action and the second half should apply it to the case.
