2013 Global Go To Think Tank Index & Abridged report

University of Pennsylvania, International Relations Program, 2013. — 118 р. The 2013 Global Go To Think Tank Index (GGTTI) marks the seventh year of continued efforts by the Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program at the University of Pennsylvania (TTCSP) to acknowledge the important contributions and emerging global trends of think tanks worldwide. Our initial effort to generate a ranking of the world’s leading think tanks in 2006 was a response to a series of requests from donors, government officials, journalists, and scholars, to produce regional and international rankings of the world’s preeminent think tanks. Since its inception, our ongoing objective for the GGTTI report is to gain understanding of the role think tanks play in governments and civil societies. Using this knowledge, we hope to assist in improving the capacity and performance of think tanks around the world Introduction Overview of Modifications and Enhancements to the Global Go To Think Tank Index Methodology and Timeline 2013 Rankings Categories 2013 Think Tank Statistics 2013 Global Go To Rankings Results Top Think Tanks in the World Top Think Tanks by Region Top Think Tanks by Area of Research Top Think Tanks by Special Achievement Appendices Background on the Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program The Research Team
