Policy Perspectives

This section includes both Policy Briefs, which are short informative factual discussions related to key elements of government policy that affect 成人影片 and the Arctic, and also contains a new section we are developing, Policy Calls. These will be briefs written by guest experts who see a need for policy change or action--they will be fact-based, but reflect a well-argued perspective related to the region.
Your research matters to decision makers! CAPS is here to help you build your policy brief, which provides you with a succinct and targeted handout you can use in a variety of venues. Download our "How to write a policy brief" information sheet here, and if you are interested in publishing a policy brief with CAPS, contact us at uaf-caps@alaska.edu.
