Welcome to the Democracy Institute
The
Democracy Institute is a politically independent public policy research
organization based in Washington and London. Founded in 2006, this think
tank serves to further public education through the production and dissemination
of accessible commentary and scholarship. The Democracy Institute aims
to provide a balanced and thoughtful perspective on topical issues,
promoting open and rational debate based on evidence rather than ideology.
We commonly address public policy in comparative terms. Many of our
research projects, therefore, have a transatlantic or international
flavor. We are currently conducting and commissioning work in the following
areas: democratization; education policy; electoral studies; the European
Union; fiscal studies; health care; international relations; obesity;
and the regulation of risk. The Democracy Institute welcomes enquiries,
exchanges of ideas, and contributions from individuals or groups with
an interest in these issues.
An Advisory Council, comprised of internationally renowned scholars
and writers in a variety of disciplines, guides the work of the Democracy
Institute's research staff. Collectively, they seek to challenge conventional
wisdom, stimulate policy debate, and enlighten the public conversation.
