Our Mission

A Vision for the Future

The Palm Beach Center for Democracy and Policy Research is a non-partisan public policy organization, a research center, and a think tank.

The Center is a gathering of scholars, experts and community stakeholders, engaged in research and dialogue in an effort to create practical policy recommendations to current local, national, and international challenges.

Our Focus

The focus of the Center is on the current state of democracy and democratization throughout the world and in the United States.

The Center views politics and policy as a means to provide responses to public challenges in domestic and foreign affairs. Therefore, the Center encourages discussion and research from multiple perspectives. The Center believes that good policy is the result of reasonable dialogue and healthy debate. Thus, through publishing balanced articles and community engagement, the Center aspires to provide a platform for critical thinking, analysis and ideas to confront challenges that affect our nation.

Core Values

Diversity

As an organization we value diverse voices and views and see it as a means to create reasonable, educated dialogue and healthy debate.

Balance

The Center will provide a balanced platform where civilized communication, exchange of ideas and inclusion prevail over party politics and dogmatic views.

Community

Our objective is to be a community and place of gathering for academics, professionals, elected officials, decision makers,  civil society groups and leaders.
