Legal and Constitutional Studies (854 items)

AEI sponsors a wealth of research that examines the legal and constitutional aspects of current policy controversies. The National Legal Center for the Public Interest merged into AEI, forming a new research division named the AEI Legal Center for the Public Interest (AEILC). The AEILC pursues an expanded program of research, publications, and conferences on legal and constitutional issues drawing on the traditions, interests, and people of both institutions. The AEILC is directed by AEI resident fellow Ted Frank.

Global Business in Iran: Interactive

A new AEI web tool, "Global Business in Iran: Interactive," documents major financial transactions with the Islamic Republic between 2000 and 2007. The findings, based on open-source reporting, are organized by country, economic sector, company, and financial institution. The Institute's researchers have documented more than 300 transactions amounting to more than $150 billion. The interactive tool will be updated regularly as new information comes in.
