Brookings Institution

The Brookings Institution is a nonprofit public policy organization based in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1916, it is known for its nonpartisan research on governance, economics, and global affairs. Brookings aims to improve policy and governance through evidence-based analysis, focusing on local, national, and global issues. The institution employs over 300 experts in various fields, including economics and foreign policy. Brookings produces peer-reviewed studies, policy briefs, and books on topics such as economic inequality and climate change. Its research has historically influenced significant legislation, including the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921 and the Social Security Act of 1935. The institution also hosts public forums and educational programs to promote dialogue among policymakers, academics, and industry leaders. Its primary audiences include government agencies, academic institutions, and international organizations like the United Nations and World Bank.
