Mission Statement

The Niskanen Center works to advance an open society by active engagement in the war of ideas, direct engagement in the policymaking process, and through the courts with amicus briefs and pro bono representation. We develop policy proposals, mobilize other groups to support those proposals, promote those ideas to legislative and executive decision-makers, build short- and longer-term coalitions to facilitate joint action, establish strong working relationships with allied legislative- and executive-branch actors, and marshal the most convincing arguments and information in support of our agenda.

About This Cause

The Niskanen Center is a nonpartisan tank that works to promote an open society: a market open to consumer choice and producer competition; a culture open to the free exchange of ideas; a community open to cultural diversity; a border open to people; an economy open to trade; a society open to the downtrodden; a polity open to free speech and a free media; a people open to the value of science and knowledge; a nation open to the rule of law; and a government that protects these freedoms while advancing the cause of open societies around the world. The politics of the 21st century increasingly pits defenders of the open society against a new breed of populists animated by vision of a closed and exclusive national community.
