POLICY & RESEARCH publications are generally generated at the request of state legislators, state agencies, municipal governments, etc. The reports are comprehensive, commissioned studies on various topics of great interest to our readers like municipal salaries, taxes, Hurricane Katrina, Housing, and more.
TECHNICAL BRIEFS are instructional pages on various issues of governmental policy. They are provided to Mississippi Legislators principally during regular sessions.
POLITICAL BRIEFS are publications reflecting issues that come to the Institute through research or inquiries. Many briefs come to the attention of the Institute through public information and the media as well. The briefs are shared with the Mississippi Legislature and are also placed on the website after their submission to the Legislature.
Research briefs are written by staff as part of the Institute's civic education initiative. The briefs focus on primary sources found in the Congressional and Political Research Center at the Mississippi State University Library. The intended audience for the briefs include elected officials, classroom teachers, and anyone with an interest in congressional and political affairs.
