Hudson InstituteHudson InstituteHI_4ef3e561-0f5d-4044-8d16-3daae83c456aHudson Institute is a non-partisan policy research organization dedicated to innovative research and analysis that promotes global security, prosperity, and freedom. _b30a6e8f-6e02-4e91-bcb9-4e4849c1f015Guidance on Strategic Transitions to the FutureGuide global leaders in government and business by challenging conventional thinking and helping manage strategic transitions to the future through interdisciplinary and collaborative studies in defense, international relations, economics, culture, science, technology, and law_84fbf31e-9455-43be-8785-cf6bdd1f82b0Since our founding in 1961 by the futurist Herman Kahn, Hudson’s perspective has been uniquely future-oriented and optimistic. Our research has stood the test of time in a world dramatically transformed by the collapse of the Soviet Union, the rise of China, and the advent of radicalism within Islam. Because Hudson sees the complexities within societies, we focus on the often-overlooked interplay among culture, demography, technology, markets, and political leadership. Our broad-based approach has, for decades, allowed us to present well-timed recommendations to leaders in government and business, domestically as well as abroad. Hudson Institute has grown steadily-both in prestige and resources-from its origins in Croton-on-Hudson, to its tenture in Indianapolis, and now as a leading international policy organization with offices in Washington and New York. In the 1970s, Hudson’s scholars helped turn the world away from the no-growth policies of the Club of Rome; in the early 1990s, we helped the newly-liberated Baltic nations become booming market economies; at home, we helped write the pioneering Wisconsin welfare reform law that became the model for successful national welfare reform in the mid-1990s. Today, as part of our research agenda, we are developing programs of political and economic reform to transform the Muslim world. Our current research agenda includes: Global Affairs -- Future Security Strategies; Islam, Democracy and the Future of the Muslim World; Middle East Policy; European Studies; Eurasian Policy; Latin American Studies; Rise of Asia and U.S.-Asia Relations; Human Rights and Religious Freedom; North American Security Issues. Science, Environment, and Technology -- Global Food Issues, Global Warming and Environmental Studies; Telecommunications and Regulatory Issues. Law, Culture and Society -- Civil Justice and International Religious Liberty; Religious Freedom; American Common Culture; Philanthropy and Civic Renewal. International Governance -- Science in Public Policy; Global Prosperity: Foreign Aid and Economic Development; United Nations and Middle East Policy. Economics and Energy Policy -- Labor and Employment Policy; Economic Policy; Housing and Financial Markets. Hudson Institute is in compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act of Congress.PublicationsIssue publications_9dcac271-639e-4a5f-9de4-ab738967cb241.1ConferencesConduct conferences_b8a6b38c-5cc7-415d-94ff-7818a2ee7f091.2PolicyMake policy recommendations_46e401cf-18ba-418f-a01f-e92eb471d5b61.32010-02-08http://www.hudson.org/learn/index.cfm?fuseaction=mission_statementArthurColman (www.drybridge.com)colman@drybridge.com
