Brookings Institution

http://www.brook.edu

Aims

The Brookings Institution, one of Washington's oldest think tanks, is an independent, nonpartisan organization devoted to research, analysis, and public education with an emphasis on economics, foreign policy, governance, and metropolitan policy.

Activities

More than 140 resident and nonresident scholars research issues; write books, papers, articles, and opinion pieces; testify before congressional committees; and participate in dozens of public events each year. Over 200 research assistants and support staff contribute to the Institution's research, publishing, event management, media relations, fundraising, and information technology operations.

Publications and other Resources

The website contains policy briefs (short and informative analyses on current issues that bring background and recommendations to policymakers, journalists, and the general public), reports, papers and articles (often sourced from other publications), testimony, speeches and interviews available to download at no cost in HTML format.
