"It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things." — Teddy Roosevelt |

The Review of Policy Research
Roosevelt and the Policy Studies Organization look at poverty at home and abroad |
The Roosevelt Institution and the Policy Studies Organization are pleased to announce a special collaborative issue of the Review of Policy Research. This edition of the renowned journal exclusively features Roosevelt fellows exploring, evaluating, and dissecting the pressing issue of domestic and international poverty. The eight articles were chosen by Roosevelt's student editorial board for their rigorous analysis and creative contribution to the process of finding solutions to this challenge. As the editors put it:As [income] disparities have increased, the security net that the private sector once provided for Americans has all but disappeared, and this has occurred as the developing global economy has put American workers increasingly at risk. These developments have resurrected a problem whose solution had seemed attainable to President Lyndon Johnson's generation....Finding this solution marks the challenge that our generation has inherited....The optimism of the late 1990s did not lead us to expect this inheritance, yet we believe that we have the knowledge, the resources, and the optimism to address these issues. The articles in this issue of Review of Policy Research begin to do so... We hope that our readers find in them evidence of the ability of young people to generate the necessary solutions. More important, we hope that these articles inspire others to examine poverty, to find solutions, and to work for political change. --> [more]

Texas Roosevelt co-sponsors Addressing Poverty: Challenges in a Politicized World with 21st Century Policy Makers. - Roosevelt Institution at the University of Chicago Center on Poverty and Economic Oportunity
The Center on Poverty and Economic Opportunity at the University of Chicago is committed to the alleviation and eventual elimination of poverty in the United States. Poverty tears at America's economic, social, and political fabric, and it is the duty of this center and others to reinvigorate what is currently a pitiful national discourse on this pressing issue. America's strength rests on its ability to fulfill its ideals. Poverty must be alleviated and eventually eliminated to bring this country closer to the American promise of opportunity and justice for all its citizens. - Roosevelt Institution at Yale College Center on Economics
The Center on the Economy’s research this semester focused on researching the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and a project on the relationship between New Haven and the surrounding suburbs. The EITC project, done in conjunction with Project Opportunity, took the form of three briefs prepared by the center. The first brief was on poverty in Connecticut and New Haven, the second covered the EITC in other states, and the third combines the first two. They are currently being used by project opportunity in their communications with legislators regarding the EITC in Connecticut. - Roosevelt Institution at Stanford University Center on International Development
In a post-Cold War Era, aid, politics and economics have become inextricably linked.Through dialogue and research, our Center aims to promote a cooperation that can reduce human suffering and increase development within this new global framework. Our Fellows focus on the impact of U.S.policies, actions and inactions around the globe.
