AEI operates at the intersection of scholarship and politics, aiming to elevate political debate and improve the substance of government policy. Many of the subjects of AEI research and publications are controversial, and many are the focus of political contention and intense interest-group advocacy. A number of AEI scholars and fellows are or have been directly engaged in practical politics and policymaking as government officials, advisers or members of official commissions. For these reasons, AEI maintains policies and procedures for assuring the integrity and reputation of its work and research.

Institutional investors have become a focal point in public debate over housing affordability, often portrayed as a major force driving rising home prices and limiting access to homeownership. Section 901 of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act imposes a complex set of limits on the ability of large institutional investors (LII) owning 350 or more properties to freely purchase and own single-family rentals.

The People’s Republic of China (PRC), Russia, Iran, and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) have formed an axis of aggression to combat the US-led international order. Each of these revisionist states aids the others in their goals to establish spheres of influence and subvert or destroy democratic nations. The axis and its friends have been dealt devastating setbacks: Bashar al-Assad has fallen in Syria, American intervention ousted Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela, and the regime in Iran now faces defeat. Although Russia and China have not protected their clients from US attacks, they continue to support them in other ways, and all remain committed to a coordinated campaign to overturn the US-led international order.

The quality of research on China’s international economic activity has declined, a problem worsened by AI-generated material that allows weak and unfounded claims to spread. To counter this, the China Global Investment Tracker (CGIT), released twice a year, provides the most comprehensive public record of China’s overseas investment and construction activity.

Iran and its Axis of Resistance have suffered successive defeats since the beginning of 2024, reducing their ability to project force and making them more vulnerable to attack. These defeats began shortly after Hamas invaded Israel in October 2023. Tehran and its militia allies waged a regional escalation against the United States and Israel in the ensuing months. Iranian and Iranian-backed forces launched strike campaigns targeting US service members in Iraq, Jordan, and Syria, as well as international shipping around the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

House Committee on Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence
There are three Arctic great powers: The United States along with its NATO allies, Russia, and China, which aspires to be a great polar power by 2030. Over the past 14 months, the United States has significantly shifted its Arctic policies and its security posture. This has, in turn, dramatically shifted the Arctic security stances of Canada, the Kingdom of Denmark and NATO. As the international system accelerates its transition from the post-1945 order, sovereignty and maritime access will be increasingly challenged by the great powers as they compete for increased access and control across the Arctic region.

1. What are China’s strategic goals in Europe? First, bolster friends and silence critics of the Chinese Communist Party and its policies, especially on politically sensitive issues such as human rights, abuses of Uyghurs in Xinjiang, ongoing territorial disputes, and Taiwan’s political status. Minimize opposition to Chinese claims over Taiwan. Second, undermine transatlantic cooperation and European unity through a divide and conquer strategy. Even just a few dissenters can disrupt the formation of a durable anti-China coalition. Alienating signals from Washington about its relationship with Europe makes countries even more susceptible to Chinese influence attempts
