The Behrend Policy Review is an online publication of the The Public Policy Fund at Penn State Behrend

The Public Policy Fund was created to bring together a diversity of perspectives to inform public policy decisions that affect the Erie region and like communities in the Great Lakes and Ohio River Basin areas. The fund is based in the Political Science program of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences.

The Policy Review publishes policy research in areas that include regional Erie politics, American national politics, environmental policy, international affairs, and foreign policy. The Policy Review features opinion pieces, white papers, policy analysis, and original policy-relevant research. In line with the mission of the Public Policy Fund, the Policy Review values interdisciplinary approaches to policy.
