==Publications== Maxim Institute has published various books and reports on issues including [[political correctness]], curriculum, and marriage law.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.maxim.org.nz/main_pages/publication_page/publications.html |title=Publications - Maxim Institute |accessdate=2006-06-23 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060614174933/http://www.maxim.org.nz/main_pages/publication_page/publications.html |archivedate=2006-06-14 }}</ref> These books include ''Silent Legacy: The unseen ways great thinkers have shaped our culture'', which considers the history of western philosophy. ''Pursuing Social Justice in New Zealand'', a collection of essays from prominent New Zealanders looking at creating strong communities. ''From Innocents to Agents'', which looks at the politicisation of children in New Zealand. ''Vying for our Children'', which examines various education philosophies. It also formerly published a quarterly journal entitled ''Evidence''. According to Maxim Institute ''Evidence'' "explore[d] the critical issues facing New Zealand society today, including education, family and welfare. ''Evidence'' provided commentaries and analyses that were heavily relied on Anglo-American and Australian religious and social conservative pressure groups. As of Issue 15 (Spring 2005), ''Evidence'' ceased publication, as Bruce Logan was its former editor. The Institute produces a monthly email called ''Real Issues'', which focuses on "provoking analysis of developments in policy and culture in New Zealand and around the world". As well as Real Issues, Maxim also published an ongoing series of educational research reports based on research by [[Colmar Brunton]], called ''The Parent Factor'', related to parental choice in education access, government funding and opposition to centralisation. The Institute also drafts submissions on a range of public policy issues. The issues have included sedition law reform, electoral finance, victims' rights, democratic reform, prostitution, civil unions, hate speech and section 59. However, it has primarily emphasised fiscal conservative positions on tax and welfare policy since 2005.
