2016 Global Go To Tink Tank Index Report
Abstract
Background on the Tink Tanks and Civil Societies Program
Te Tink Tanks and Civil Societies Program (TCSP) of the Lauder Institute at the University of
Pennsylvania conducts research on the role policy institutes play in governments and civil societies around the
world. Ofen referred to as the “think tanks’ think tank,” TCSP examines the evolving role and character of
public policy research organizations. Over the last 26 years, the TCSP has developed and led a series of
global initiatives that have helped bridge the gap between knowledge and policy in critical policy areas such as
international peace and security, globalization and governance, international economics, environmental
issues, information and society, poverty alleviation, and healthcare and global health. Tese international
collaborative eforts are designed to establish regional and international networks of policy institutes and
communities that improve policy making while strengthening democratic institutions and civil societies
around the world.
Te TCSP works with leading scholars and practitioners from think tanks and universities in a variety of
collaborative eforts and programs, and produces the annual Global Go To Tink Tank Index that ranks the
world’s leading think tanks in a variety of categories. Tis is achieved with the help of a panel of over 1,900
peer institutions and experts from the print and electronic media, academia, public and private donor
institutions, and governments around the world. We have strong relationships with leading think tanks around
the world, and our annual Tink Tank Index is used by academics, journalists, donors and the public to locate
and connect with the leading centers of public policy research around the world. Our goal is to increase the
profle and performance of think tanks and raise the public awareness of the important role think tanks play in
governments and civil societies around the globe.
Since its inception in 1989, the TCSP has focused on collecting data and conducting research on think tank
trends and the role think tanks play as civil society actors in the policymaking process. In 2007, the TCSP
developed and launched the global index of think tanks, which is designed to identify and recognize centers of
excellence in all the major areas of public policy research and in every region of the world. To date TCSP has
provided technical assistance and capacity building programs in 81 countries. We are now working to create
regional and global networks of think tanks in an efort to facilitate collaboration and the production of a
modest yet achievable set of global public goods. Our goal is to create lasting institutional and state-level
partnerships by engaging and mobilizing think tanks that have demonstrated their ability to produce high
quality policy research and shape popular and elite opinion and actions for public good.
