Searching for policy-related information on the World Wide Web can be time consuming and frustrating. Policy.com and the Electronic Policy Network have set out to change that. Both sites offer similar features: summaries of major news stories, links to the home pages of American and European think tanks, and in-depth analysis of topics relating to the international community - issues like NATO expansion, unemployment policies, and education reform. Both sites also offer summaries of current policy and issue papers. While the Electronic Policy Network functions solely as an information disseminating site, Policy.com goes a step further, providing on-line debate forums. There, visitors can casting mock votes on specific pieces of legislation. Policy.com also offers links to advocacy organizations, associations, universities, and many U.S. governmental bodies.
