TCF Senior Fellow Morton Abramowitz co-authors a Wall Street Journal op-ed with Eric Edelman, another former U.S. ambassador to Turkey.

Cincinnati has improved students’ test scores by fostering cooperation between teachers, administrators, and local community service organizations,” writes Century Foundation vice president Greg Anrig in The Atlantic.

Conservatives in the Congress have introduced a bill that would effectively prohibit the collection of data on poverty and unemployment.
Century fellow Andrew Fieldhouse says this “mind bogglingly ill-advised” policy represents a return to “the data-constrained Dark Age”. Joe Miller says the policy is a continuation of a conservative war on facts. Fellow Moshe Marvit says that systematic attacks on data threaten democracy. And Century fellow Harold Pollack says the one consolation is that the bill is probably too stupid to pass.
More than half of all states are refusing to implement the Obamacare provisions that would expand Medicaid to cover a large portion of currently uninsured Americans.
Greg Anrig, Century’s vice president of programs, says that the solution is to federalize Medicaid. His post at Blog of the Century outlines the case. He develops the argument at greater length as part of the New America Foundation’s new report, Renewing the American Social Contract.

Most K-12 education reforms are about trying to make "separate but equal" schools for rich and poor work well. The results of these efforts have been discouraging. The Century Foundation looks at ways to integrate public schools by economic status through public school choice. At the higher education level, we examine ways to open the doors of selective and non-selective institutions to students of modest means.
In the first years of the new century, an assertive foreign policy took a toll on the cultivated role of the U.S. as a responsible global leader. The Century Foundation's work in this area provides perspective on the international difficulties the U.S. is facing today, while providing policy recommendations to promote the nation's security interests. Our research and analysis focuses on effectively responding to challenges in the Middle East and Pakistan, as well as responding to international crime.
Compared to other advanced nations, America’s retirement security and health care systems offer weaker protections against risks we all face. The Century Foundation’s work focuses on ideas for strengthening Social Security, pensions, and health care – including steps for building on the Affordable Care Act.
In recent decades, and especially since 2000, the richest Americans have enjoyed soaring income and wealth while the rest of the population's living standards have stagnated. The Century Foundation was one of the first institutions to raise serious concerns about these trends and propose ideas for improving economic conditions for all Americans- not just the fortunate few.
Since our 1919 founding, The Century Foundation has published work examining a broad array of issues including civil liberties, the media, campaign finance, and intelligence agency reform. This section provides a portal to many of those works.
