Users -- Website Maintenance, Soon Fully Back

For years we left Find Policy in place — it worked mainly for me, and apparently for some others. When going in for a briefing on an issue, I quickly read up. I showed it to students. I think it helped us get high quality information quickly.

Recently, Squarespace changed its subscription model, and we lost some of the embedded code. We will bring this back in the next days.

If anyone else is out there and using it, please ping us on Twitter or whatever you want to call it, or LinkedIn.

Adding Spain to Search Pages

Thanks to Enrique Planells Artigot, we have now added Spain to the search pages. As with the other pages, you get instant access to the research of leading think tanks. Here was one quick search: 

Brexit - Spain.jpg

On some issues particular institutions may dominate, and if you want a broader representation, you may want to eliminate some institutions from the search. For this, there is a nifty trick, here.

Adding Sweden to Search

We have just added Sweden to our pages. Search focuses on a range of think tanks in Sweden, both those oriented locally and those focusing on international issues. The search should be useful to civil servants, reseachers, students, journalists, or any other engaged citizens. 

Want to find out what think tanks say on a particular policy? How they see Saudi-Arabia? What they say on a particular ministry? Or what they think about Gothenburg?

This, and much much more is all here: http://www.findpolicy.org/sweden

When and how did the term "MSM" become mainstream?

On Twitter, in recent months, MSM for "mainstream media" has become a standard term. Yet when and how did that term appear, more regularly? A search under "Wonks" can give you a quick overview.

Again, if you want the most recent results, toggle between relevance and date. This is just one of many searches you can undertake. Interested in views in Russia, Turkey or Indonesia? All of that is available, too. Try a search under Wonks or More

Policy Wonks, Accessible in a Single Search

With Brexit and the election of Donald Trump, policy and politics are moving rapidly. If you want to find out what policy analysts have to say, Find Policy can help.

Take the issue of emolument. It commands attention, and you can easily check what leading policy wonks have to say on this issue – again in a single window.

Of course, you can also look up what think tanks have to say on this (a lot), or look at think tanks commenting on any other aspect of recent developments. The more precise your search terms, the better the results.
