Academic work from Atlantic Community members broadens the scope of the policy marketplace. Research and policy analysis are not just the work of experts; such work is done daily by students around the world, but needs to find its way to a larger audience. With this feature we hope to empower an up and coming generation of students, think tankers and other young professionals and involve them in the policy forming process. You can upload your thesis, paper or article here.
