The New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College was established in 2001 to serve as a resource for students, scholars, politicians, and the general public.
Founded on the premise that an informed and involved citizenry is an essential element of a well-functioning democracy, the institute sponsors educational programs and scholarly research designed to educate citizens about the contemporary political problems and challenges facing New Hampshire, the United States, and the larger world.
