The Hudson Institute is an American conservative non-profit think tank based in Washington, D.C.. It was founded in 1961 in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, by futurist, military strategist, and systems theorist Herman Kahn and his colleagues at the RAND Corporation. The Institute is committed to innovative research and analysis that promotes "global security, prosperity and freedom." It promotes public policy change in accordance with its stated belief that "America’s unique and central role in the global system offers the best foundation for security, the defense of liberty, and assuring economic growth."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hudson.org/research/11120-mission-statement )〕 In March 2011, Kenneth R. Weinstein was appointed President and CEO of the Institute.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hudson.org/experts/432-kenneth-r-weinstein )〕 ==History== Founded 1961 by Herman Kahn, Max Singer, and Oscar Ruebhausen from the RAND corporation in Croton-on-Hudson, New York. Its initial policy focus, while conservative, largely reflected Kahn’s personal interests, which included the domestic and military use of nuclear power, the future of the workplace in the U.S., and the science of "futurology." As the Cold War died down and funding for military projects decreased, Hudson started examining domestic, social and economic issues. Following Kahn’s death in 1983, Hudson expanded its staff and took on a distinctly more conservative stance. The headquarters were moved to Indianapolis in 1984. In 1987, Hudson’s study "Workforce 2000" correctly predicted the changes the American workforce would undergo by the year 2000. The follow-up "Workforce 2020" was released in 1997. In 1995, Hudson played a key part in devising Wisconsin’s welfare-to-work program. In 2004 Hudson moved to Washington D.C. in order to focus its efforts on foreign policy and national security. After the September 11 attacks, Hudson focused its efforts on international issues such as the Middle East, Latin America and Islam. This area of research is currently headed up by Hillel Fradkin. Other Islam experts include Zeyno Baran. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hudson Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
