The research conducted by AEI's scholars and fellows is intended to have a practical effect: achieving sensible and effective public policies. It is essential that the Institute be able to communicate its findings to those in positions to act upon the research and to those concerned with the topics it addresses. Therefore, AEI invests in marketing, government relations, academic relations, media contacts, and publications as part of its outreach.
The following pages illustrate how AEI contributes to public policy discourse. AEI distributes a monthly newsletter, summaries of its conferences, and On the Issues--a series of the best general-interest articles its scholars publish. The Institute also publishes fifteen Outlooks, longer analytical essays on pressing policy issues.
The Outlooks include monthly publications on developments in the U.S. and world economies, national security issues, and financial services; a quarterly report on Russia; and frequent editions on Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, the environment, constitutional law, economic development, health policy, liability, and tax policy. In 2007, AEI launched its Education Outlook, written by Frederick M. Hess.
The Institute continues to ramp up its electronic communications, notifying thousands of AEI's friends and subscribers about its latest activities through daily, biweekly, and periodic e-mail updates on its work in specific policy areas. This summer, AEI also launched AEI Today Mobile Edition, a smartphone-friendly version of its widely distributed daily e-newsletter. AEI is launching a new website.
