Our think tank engages deeply with Law and Politics. We incorporate empirical political science and law, enabling us to specify the implications of abstract political, legal and moral principles for concrete issues in policy-making, institutional design, and legal interpretation. We generate leading research on a variety of conceptual and normative questions about political values, social institutions, and public policy. We address the big questions. What is democracy? What is the proper role of religion in public life? How do we justify human rights? What is sovereignty? We also address empirical/descriptive issues in the broader legal and political realm such as immigration, and public health. We wish to remain unbiased, away from political narratives and not affiliated to political parties or ideologies. We are academics interested in disseminating information, truth and, as Bury and Meigs refer to the greatest gift Hellenism gave to the world, freedom of thought.
