Casey.[7]
The institute produces materials including books, articles, interviews, speeches, op-eds, policy research, and the quarterly publication City Journal. It is a key think tank and ranked in the Global Go To Think Tank Index (GGTTI) published by the University of Pennsylvania.[8] Its current president is Reihan Salam, who has led the organization since being appointed in 2019.[9]
