Philosophy

Dr. Fuller's work focuses not on creating disruption, but rather on building institutional shock absorbers.

The core argument of Dr. Fuller’s work has always been that the representative-electoral system is an insufficient mechanism to prevent the elite capture of politics and the problems inherent in that development (polarization, inequality, class stratification, economic stagnation, weak rule of law, and political instability). Rectifying these issues requires reinvigorating democracy through the use of historically-tested structural mechanisms that distribute risk more widely and re-introduce structure and meritocratic filters to the decision-making process.

She frequently approaches topics from first principles with a strong preference for empirical research, primary sources, and foundational logic. A strong commitment to Enlightenment-era ideals, a thorough historical grounding and an excellent understanding of the modern legal system have enabled Dr. Fuller to shrewdly and precisely analyze contemporary problems and to pinpoint targeted solutions.

Having grown up in Canada and studied and lived in Germany and Ireland for over twenty years, Dr. Fuller combines a Continental attention to detail with an Anglo-Saxon love of experimentation.

Her current projects include research on the Culture of Democracy, the Law of Association, Forms of Intent and the Relationship between the Dark Tetrad and Decision-Making.
