The American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research (AEI) is an American conservative think tank founded in 1943.Its stated mission is "to defend the principles and improve the institutions of American freedom and democratic capitalism—limited government,private enterprise,individual liberty and responsibility,vigilant and effective defense and foreign policies,political accountability,and open debate".i
........
AEI is an independent nonprofit organization supported primarily by grants and contributions from foundations,corporations,and individuals.It is headquartered in Washington,D.C.i
Some AEI scholars are considered to be some of the leading architects of the second Bush administration's public policy.i
More than twenty AEI scholars and fellows served either in a Bush administration policy post or on one of the government's many panels and commissions.i
Among the prominent former government officials now affiliated with AEI are former U.S.ambassador to the U.N.John Bolton,now an AEI senior fellow;former chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities Lynne Cheney,a longtime AEI senior fellow; former House Speaker Newt Gingrich,now an AEI senior fellow;former Dutch member of parliament Ayaan Hirsi Ali,an AEI visiting fellow;and former deputy secretary of defense Paul Wolfowitz,now an AEI visiting scholar.i

Political stance
AEI is officially nonpartisan and its website includes a statement on political advocacy: "Legal requirements aside,AEI has important reasons of its own for abstaining from any form of policy advocacy as an institution....AEI takes no institutional positions on policy issues (whether or not they are currently before legislative,executive,or judicial bodies) or on any other issues."i
This distinguishes AEI from other think tanks,such as the Heritage Foundation and the Center for American Progress.i
The institute is often cited as a right-leaning counterpart to the left-leaning Brookings Institution.i
The two entities have often collaborated: from 1998 to 2008,they co-sponsored the AEI-Brookings Joint Center for Regulatory Studies (now housed solely at AEI),and in 2006,they launched the AEI-Brookings Election Reform Project.i
AEI is the most prominent think tank associated with American neoconservatism,in both the domestic and international policy arenas.i
Irving Kristol,widely considered a father of neoconservatism,was a senior fellow at AEI (arriving from the Congress for Cultural Freedom following the widespread revelation of the group's CIA funding) and many prominent neoconservatives—including Jeane Kirkpatrick,Ben Wattenberg,and Joshua Muravchik—spent the bulk of their careers at AEI.i
However,AEI is not officially neoconservative.AEI resident scholar Norman J. Ornstein,a centrist liberal,criticizes commentators who label him a "neocon" and says that "the intellectual openness and lack of orthodoxy at AEI exceeds what I have seen on any college campus....[E]ven though my writings have frequently ticked off conservative ideologues and business interests—especially my deep involvement in campaign finance reform—I have never once been told,'You can't say that' or 'You better be careful'".i
AEI has taken strong stances against the farm bill and agricultural subsidies;a 2007 document authored by Bruce Gardner claimed that "There is no need for farm subsidies,and it would not really hurt anyone if we eliminated them".i

نجد ان معهد أمريكان إنتربريز يحظى بسمعة الإنحياز للتفكير اليميني و بشكل خاص تفكير المحافظين الجدد،حيث يعمل به مجموعة من صقور الفكر اليميني المحافظ مثل ريتشارد بيريل،و نيوت جينجريتش، و دانيلا بليتكا و السفيرة السابقة كيربيانريك هذا بالاضافة الى زوجة نائب الرئيس الأميريكي ليين تشيني لذا صبغت على المعهد عباءة كونه قبلة انصار اليمين المحافظ في واشنطن و من ناحية اخرى تتهم بعض مراكز "الثينك تانكس" بالإنحياز للسياسات المفضلة للدول العربية مثل معهد الشرق الأوسط،و هناك ايضاً منظمات معروفة بالإنحياز تجاه إسرائيل مثل معهد واشنطن للشرق الادنى و اخرى تجاه حقوق الفلسطنين مثل مؤسسة سلام الشرق الوسط.
