Hoover Archives Summer Workshop 2014
Hoover's Workshop on Totalitarian Regimes studies the history and development of totalitarian regimes in order to understand why they came into being, how they work, and the sources of their durability. By bringing scholars together who study the different regimes, the workshop promotes the comparative study of modes of personal dictatorship, of institutions of coercion and repression, and of the economic and social consequences of totalitarian rule. The workshop's principal resources are the unique and fast- growing holdings of the Hoover Archives on totalitarian regimes in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

At a September 20, 2001, press briefing, Hoover fellow Terry M. Moe, who edited the book, explained that the book's goal is to cut through the complexities, unwarranted assumptions, and unfounded assertions surrounding education reform and to convey the basic facts that people need to know about important policy questions facing education today. During the press briefing, members of the Koret Task Force addressed prominent topics in the national education debate, including choice and accountability, the opposition by teachers unions to reform movements, and the possibilities for real change in the future.
