Welcome to the blog of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies. The Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies informs and illuminates the nation’s major public policy debates through research, analysis, and information dissemination in order to: improve the socioeconomic status of African Americans and other minorities; expand their effective participation in the political and public policy arenas; and promote communications and relationships across racial and ethnic lines to strengthen the nation’s pluralistic society.
This blog serves to keep the public abreast of our research and analysis of current and proposed policy, activities and events around the country, as well as major decisions facing the national and local governments. Through the Health Policy Institute, Media and Technology Institute, and Climate Change Initiative, the Joint Center is working around the clock to illuminate these issues as they pertain to communities of color, and expound upon possible solutions.
