Manhattan Institute for Policy Research

"For over 25 years, the Manhattan Institute has been an important force in shaping American political culture. We have supported and publicized research on our era's most challenging public policy issues: taxes, welfare, crime, the legal system, urban life, race, education, and many other topics. We have won new respect for market-oriented policies and helped make reform a reality." The Institute incorporates several research centers: Center for Civic Innovation, Center for Legal Policy, Center for Medical Progress, Center for Race and Ethnicity, Center for Rethinking Development, Center for Policing Terrorism, Empire Center for New York State Policy. It also publishes the quarterly journal, City Magazine.
