H I S T O RY

The Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace within Stanford University is a public

policy research center devoted to advanced study of politics, economics, and political econo-

my—both domestic and foreign—as well as international affairs. Founded in 1919 by

Herbert Hoover, who later became the thirty-first president of the United States, the

Institution originated as a specialized collection of documents on the causes and consequences

of World War I. The collection grew rapidly and soon became one of the largest archives and

most complete libraries in the world devoted to political, economic, and social change in the

twentieth century.

By the late 1940s, the richness of the collection had led to the recruitment of scholars who

would use the documents in their work. Expanding its agenda to include specific research

endeavors led to a vast accumulation of knowledge, and the Hoover Institution became one

of the first and most distinguished academic centers in the United States dedicated to public

policy research. Today, with its world-renowned group of scholars and ongoing programs of

policy-oriented research, the Hoover Institution puts its accumulated knowledge to work as a

prominent contributor to the world marketplace of ideas defining a free society.

MISSION AND PHILOSOPHY

Now more than four decades old, Herbert Hoover’s 1959 Statement to the Board of Trustees

of Stanford University on the purpose and scope of the Hoover Institution (see quotation

below) continues to guide and define its mission in the twenty-first century.

The principles of individual, economic, and political freedom; private enterprise; and repre-

sentative government were fundamental to the vision of the Institution’s founder. By collect-

ing knowledge, generating ideas, and disseminating both, the Institution seeks to secure and

safeguard peace, improve the human condition, and limit government intrusion into the lives

of individuals.

Introduction to the Hoover Institution

This Institution supports the Constitution of theUnited States, its Bill of Rights, and its method of rep-resentative government. Both our social and economicsystems are based on private enterprise from whichsprings initiative and ingenuity. . . . Ours is a systemwhere the Federal Government should undertake nogovernmental, social or economic action, except wherelocal government, or the people, cannot undertake it forthemselves. . . . The overall mission of this Institution is,from its records, to recall the voice of experience againstthe making of war, and by the study of these records andtheir publication, to recall man’s endeavors to make andpreserve peace, and to sustain for America the safeguardsof the American way of life. This Institution is not, andmust not be, a mere library. But with these purposes asits goal, the Institution itself must constantly anddynamically point the road to peace, to personal free-dom, and to the safeguards of the American system

—Herbert Hoover, Founder

O B J E C T I V E S

The Institution’s overarching purposes are to

• Collect the requisite sources of knowledge pertainingto economic, political, and social changes in societiesat home and abroad, as well as to understand theircauses and consequences

• Analyze the effects of government actions relating topublic policy

• Generate, publish, and disseminate ideas that encouragepositive policy formation using reasoned argumentsand intellectual rigor, converting conceptual insights

into practical initiatives judged beneficial to society

• C o n vey to the public, the media, lawmakers, and othersan understanding of important public policy issuesand to promote vigorous dialogue

L I B R A RY AND ARCHIVES

Attracting an average of seven thousand researchers

every year from some forty different countries and

nearly every state, the Hoover Library and Archives

is an international treasure. The library, with more

than 1.6 million volumes, and the archives, with

more than fifty million documents, constitute one

of the world’s largest repositories (25 miles of

shelving) of materials on political, economic, and

social change in modern times.

The collections are open to the public and organ-

ized into seven areas: Africa, the Americas, East

Asia, East-Central Eu rope, the Middle East,

Russia/Commonwealth of Independent States, and

Western Europe.

Since the founding of the Institution, collecting

efforts have sought to document the greatest issues

of our time: war, revolution, and peace. Today,

prospects for a peaceful future depend largely on

whether free institutions and values, given the

chance, will take root in regions of the world where

they have never before—or only briefly—existed.

To document this struggle, the Ho over In s t i t u t i o n’s

collecting program focuses on the political and

economic transitions occurring worldwide, espe-

cially in former and evolving communist countries.

Equally important is developing collections that

shed light on the political and economic effects of

cultural conflicts throughout the world.

P R O G R A M M ATIC THEMES

Two of Ho ove r’s three ove r a rching pro g r a m s ,

American Institutions and Economic Performance

and Democracy and Free Markets, address issues

involving the study of politics, economics, and

their interrelationships (that is, political economy)

in the United States and other countries. Within

these programs, specific themes have evo l ve d ,

including

Introduction to the Hoover Institution

• The rule of law and property rights

• Societies based on individualism rather than classes,thus confronting the issues of race, gender, ethnicity,and so forth

• The role of a society’s culture and values

• Gove r n m e n t’s performance on behalf of society,a d d ressing issues of accountability, efficiency, and representation

• The appropriate scope of gove r n m e n t’s invo l vement in areas such as education, health care, and the envi-ronment as it provides public services and regulatesprivate enterprise

• Economic growth and tax policy

• Capital formation—financial, human, and intellectual

• Wealth redistribution with regard to tax, social,health, and demographic public policies

The third ove r a rching program, In t e rn a t i o n a l

R i valries and Global Coopera t i o n , i n vo l ves studies of

f o reign policy addressing issues of security, trade

and commerce, and the rule of law.

INSTITUTIONAL INIT IAT I V E S

Substantial financial and intellectual resources are

directed to new undertakings consistent with the

In s t i t u t i o n’s ove r a rching programs and specific

themes. Ho over In i t i a t i ve s re p resent multi-ye a r

p rojects in which Ho over fellows and other scholars

focus on specific and important topics pertaining

to our mission. The result is increased output in the

form of institutional book projects, which augment

the scholarship that originates from Ho over fellow s’

individual research agendas.

The following Hoover Initiatives are now in place:

• American Public Education

• Property Rights, the Rule of Law, and Economic

Performance

• The End of Communism

• The National Security Forum

• Transition to Democratic Capitalism

• American Individualism and Values

• Accountability of Government to Society

• Capital Formation, Tax Policy, and Economic Growth

• International Rivalries and Global Cooperation

C O M M U N I C AT I O N S

Hoover scholars produce an impressive body of

books, provocative essays, and in-depth articles

that explore ideas with the potential to transform

society. But unless those ideas are widespread, the

o p p o rtunity to have an impact is lost. Consequently,

the Institution disseminates its products through

varied formats and means, including the following:

• The Hoover Institution publishes and markets a significant number of books and essays each year thatcommunicate the ideas of Ho over scholars on domesticand international policy issues.

• Hoover scholars write nearly six hundred editorialopinion articles each year that appear in major news-papers and magazines.

• Hoover Digest: Research and Opinion on Public Policy,Ho ove r’s award-winning quart e r l y, presents anoverview of the research by Hoover scholars.

• Education Next, a quarterly journal, presents the factsas best they can be determined on issues related toK–12 education reform in the United States.

• Policy Review, a quarterly publication, provides ne wand serious thinking on matters of public policy.

• Weekly Essays, short articles by Hoover fellows on topical public policy issues, are featured in severalnational magazines and are syndicated to more thanfour hundred newspapers throughout the country.

• Uncommon Know l e d g e , Ho ove r’s public affairs television series, provides informed discussion on current public policy issues from a decidedly “outside

the beltway” perspective.

• The Hoover Institution’s home page on the WorldWide We b, located at w w w. h o ove r. o r g, supplies

c o m p re h e n s i ve information on the library and arc h i ve s ,the re s e a rch endeavors, and all other outreach associatedwith the Institution.
