Hudson Institute

Hudson Institute is a non-partisan policy research organization dedicated to promoting global security, prosperity, and freedom. Founded in 1961 by the futurist Herman Kahn, the institute challenges conventional thinking and helps manage strategic transitions to the future through interdisciplinary and collaborative studies in defense, international relations, economics, culture, science, technology, and law. With a uniquely future-oriented and optimistic perspective, Hudson Institute's research has stood the test of time in a world dramatically transformed by historical events. The institute's broad-based approach has allowed it to present well-timed recommendations to leaders in government and business both domestically and abroad. Hudson Institute has a significant history of influence, contributing to pivotal policy shifts such as guiding the world away from no-growth policies of the Club of Rome and aiding the Baltic nations in becoming booming market economies post-liberation. Furthermore, the institute has had notable domestic impact, such as helping write pioneering welfare reform laws. Currently, as part of its research agenda, Hudson Institute is focusing on developing programs of political and economic reform to transform the Muslim world. With offices in Washington and New York, the institute continues to grow steadily in prestige and resources, positioning itself as a leading international policy organization.
