OBJECTIVES
The Hoover Institution strives to address the "big picture," offering ideas having broad, sweeping applications and internally consistent implications.
|
The Institution's overarching purposes are:
To collect the requisite sources of knowledge pertaining to economic, political, and social changes in societies at home and abroad, as well as to understand their causes and consequences
To analyze the effects of government actions relating to public policy
To generate, publish, and disseminate ideas that encourage positive policy formation using reasoned arguments and intellectual rigor, converting conceptual insights into practical initiatives judged to be beneficial to society
To convey to the public, the media, lawmakers, and others an understanding of important public policy issues and to promote vigorous dialogue
"Ideas have consequences, and a free flow of competing ideas leads to an evolution of policy consequences affecting the well-being of society. The Hoover Institution endeavors to be a preeminent contributor of ideas having positive consequences."
—John Raisian, Director
