Not Your Average Think Tank
At Swann Global Prairie, we don’t chase headlines—we plant roots. Our work blends policy, culture, and civic design to grow something deeper: clarity, integrity, and institutional imagination.
What's it about?
A civic institution for a new era. We research, convene, and design with one goal in mind: restoring trust in governance and unlocking the future we deserve.
The Swann Global Prairie produces strategic insights, frameworks, and culture-shaping narratives designed to help policymakers, civic leaders, and the public think clearly—and act boldly.
We prioritize clarity over noise, long-term thinking over political cycles, and public purpose over private gain.
Each publication, paper, or project helps connect structural problems to structural solutions. Whether it’s healthcare design, democratic renewal, or a new social contract, we start with the same assumption: our institutions are worth saving—if we build them right.
The Prairie is for those done waiting. We don’t just publish. We propose, provoke, and prototype.
Join a growing community committed to building modern institutions with public purpose and democratic legitimacy at the center.

"The Prairie is a place for those who still believe in building. Institutions that serve. Policies that last. Culture that binds. We’re not here to critique from the sidelines—we’re here to design what comes next."
—Christopher Swann, Revivalist Architect
