The Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center and its journal Maine Policy Review have created a new digital publication series entitled Maine Policy Perspectives. This online forum consists of a roundtable discussion of pressing policy issues that are under debate by policymakers at the local, regional, national, and international levels. Adhering to Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center's nonpartisan commitment, Maine Policy Perspectives brings together world-renowned experts and local policy specialists to debate all sides of an emerging policy issue from a variety of academic, sociocultural, and professional standpoints. The unique nonpartisan nature of the publication allows policymakers, business leaders, and researchers to easily access multiple viewpoints regarding pressing issues, allowing them to make decisions based on expert analysis and in-depth research. Deciding political platforms based on non-partisan research and best outcomes for the constituency rather than party ideology is part of a long tradition of civic discourse and practical politics in the state of Maine and the Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center upholds this tradition throughout its publications, student programs, and research initiatives.
