In the Hallways of Hudson

Founded in 1961

For over 60 years, Hudson Institute has been a trusted resource for decision makers and opinion leaders on both domestic and international issues. We carry on that tradition today with a focus on the key strategic issues impacting the future of American national security, defense, innovation, economic prosperity, and global order.

More about Hudson

Responsible decision makers and researchers cannot afford the luxury of denying the existence of agonizing questions. The public, whose lives and freedom are at stake, expects them to face such questions squarely and, where necessary, the expert should expect little less of the public.
