BROOKINGS, the Brookings Institution is a public policy think tank. It was the first think tank in the USA to dedicate itself to governance issues on a national scale. Originally created to provide recommendations on how to improve Federal State Governance, the Brookings moved on to other subjects, thanks to the great historical events that shook the 20th century. For example, during WW2 it actively participated to the debates on post-war political re-building. Since 1945, the think tank recentered on its core research field focusing on improving federal governance and efficiency of public policies.
