The Washington Post - The Monkey Cage

Writer's picture: Gabrielle BardallGabrielle Bardall

What is The Monkey Cage? “Democracy is the art of running the circus from the monkey cage.” — H.L. Mencken The Monkey Cage’s mission is to connect political scientists and the political conversation by creating a compelling forum, developing publicly focused scholars, and building an informed audience. Using the discipline’s research, we help make sense of the circus that is politics.

At TMC, political scientists draw on their expertise and the discipline’s research to provide in-depth analysis, illuminate the news, and inform civic discussion. We want the political conversation to include timely, accessible, and sound knowledge from a publicly oriented political science discipline, and to be less dominated by evidence-free arguments. TMC is an independent site currently published here at the Washington Post.
