Background sul Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program Il Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program (TTCSP) presso l’Università della Pennsylvania conduce attività di ricerca sul ruolo che gli istituti di studi politici giocano nei governi e nelle società civili di tutto il mondo. Spesso indicato come il “think tank dei think tank”, il TTCSP esamina il crescente ruolo e le caratteristiche delle organizzazioni di ricerca che si occupano di politiche governative. Durante gli ultimi 25 anni, il TTCSP ha sviluppato e guidato una serie di iniziative globali che hanno aiutato a superare il divario fra conoscenza e politica in ambiti di grande importanza quali pace e sicurezza internazionale, globalizzazione e governance mondiale; economia internazionale, problematiche ambientali, informazione e società, riduzione della povertà; sanità pubblica e salute. Questi tentativi di collaborazione internazionale sono volti a creare reti regionali e internazionali di istituti di studi politici e di comunità che migliorano i processi di policy making, rafforzando al contempo il ruolo delle istituzioni democratiche e della società civile in tutto il mondo. Il TTCSP lavora con studiosi affermati e professionisti provenienti da think tank e università portando avanti una grande varietà di iniziative e programmi di collaborazione finalizzata alla produzione di un report, il Global Go To Think Tank Index, che classifica i principali think tank del mondo in diverse categorie. Questo risultato è ottenuto con l'aiuto di un panel di oltre 1900 istituzioni ed esperti provenienti dal mondo della stampa (inclusa quella via web), dell’università, di istituti finanziatori pubblici e privati e di governi di tutto il mondo. Abbiamo strette relazioni con i principali think tank di tutto il mondo e il nostro Think Tank Index è utilizzato da docenti universitari, giornalisti, finanziatori e dall’opinione pubblica per individuare e raggiungere i più importanti istituti di studi politici. Il nostro obiettivo è quello di migliorare il profilo e la performance dei think thank sensibilizzando l’opinione pubblica sul ruolo decisivo che i think tank svolgono per i governi e per le società civili in tutto il mondo. Dalla sua creazione nel 1989, il TTCSP si è incentrato sulla raccolta di dati e ha svolto ricerche sulle tendenze dei think tank oltre che sul ruolo che questi centri svolgono nei processi di policy making come attori della società civile. Nel 2007, il TTCSP ha lanciato un indice globale dei think tank che è strutturato in modo da individuare i centri di eccellenza in tutte le maggiori aree di ricerca politologica e tenendo presente le diverse macroaree mondiali. Ad oggi, il TTCSP ha fornito assistenza tecnica e programmi di sviluppo di competenze in 81 paesi. Stiamo attualmente lavorando alla creazione di network mondiali e regionali per i think tank con il proposito di facilitare la collaborazione e la realizzazione di un insieme – modesto ma realistico – di “beni pubblici globali”. Il nostro obiettivo è creare partnership durevoli a livello di istituti e di Stati coinvolgendo e mobilitando quei think tank che abbiano dimostrato la capacità sia di produrre ricerche politologiche di alta qualità sia di plasmare in senso positivo l’opinione e le scelte dell’opinione pubblica e delle élite.

Introduzione Il Global Go To Think Tank Index (GGTTI) del 2013 segna il settimo anno di continui sforzi da parte del Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program dell’Università della Pennsylvania (TTCSP) per dare il giusto riconoscimento all’importante contribuito dei think tank di tutto il mondo e ai trend emergenti a livello globale. Nel 2006, il nostro progetto di partenza riguardante la creazione di una classifica dei migliori think thank esistenti rappresentava una risposta alle richieste provenienti da enti finanziatori, rappresentanti del governo, giornalisti e studiosi che chiedevano una comparazione su scala regionale e globale dei think tank più conosciuti. Sin da allora, il nostro costante obiettivo è stato quello di aumentare la consapevolezza del ruolo che i think tank giocano a livello di governo e società civile. Sulla base di tale conoscenza, è nostro auspicio fornire un supporto di miglioramento della capacità e della performance dei think tank di tutto il mondo. A partire dal 2006, il processo di classificazione è stato raffinato e snellito mentre è aumentato il numero e la portata degli enti e delle personalità coinvolte nel progetto. Il processo, come negli anni passati, si basa su una definizione condivisa della ricerca nell’ambito degli studi di “public policy” e delle organizzazioni che ne sono incaricate, un insieme dettagliato di criteri di selezione e su un procedimento sempre più aperto e trasparente di selezione e scelta degli istituti. Sulla base dello stesso processo di candidatura, tutti i 6826 think tank catalogati nel Global Think Tank Database del TTCSP sono stati contattati e incoraggiati a partecipare insieme ad oltre 9000 giornalisti, policy maker, finanziatori pubblici e privati, think tank e specialisti regionali o di specifiche aree tematiche. A questo gruppo di colleghi ed esperti è stato chiesto sia di indicare sia di valutare gli istituti che si sono contraddistinti nel corso del 2013. Al fine di perfezionare e convalidare le liste che si vengono così a creare, il TTCSP ha istituito alcuni Expert Panel comprensivi di centina di membri provenienti da diversi percorsi e discipline. In aggiunta, i nuovi media – il nostro sito web e i social media – ci hanno aiutato a comunicare e a diffondere informazioni sui criteri dell’Index di quest’anno a un pubblico molto più vasto rispetto al passato (a questo proposito, si veda la sezione “Metodologia e tempistiche” per valutare l’insieme dei criteri di scelta e classificazione e le “Appendici” per una spiegazione dettagliata del processo di ranking). Dato il rigore e l’ampiezza del processo di ranking, le classifiche finora prodotte sono state indicate come una guida “da insider” per il mercato globale delle idee. Come annotazione finale, vorremmo ricordare che la raccolta di dati, l’attività di ricerca e le analisi per questo progetto, come negli anni passati, sono state condotte senza il beneficio della ricerca sul campo, di un budget e di uno staff. Confidiamo che il processo di selezione, con il contributo degli stessi Istituti coinvolti, nonché di quello degli Expert Panels internazionali, ci abbia permesso di redigere la lista più autorevole dei migliori think tank al mondo. Cerchiamo continuamente di migliorare tali procedure e saremmo grati di accettare i vostri commenti e suggerimenti. Vi incoraggiamo inoltre a inoltrarci i nomi e i contatti degli esperti per i panel delle aree regionale e delle categorie tematiche coperte dall’Index. Grazie per il vostro continuo sostegno al Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program (Università della Pensylvania) e all’annuale Global Go To Think Tank Index. Ci auguriamo che i nostri sforzi per evidenziare contributi importanti e trend emergenti dei think tank mondiali favoriscano discussioni approfondite e dibattiti circa il ruolo attuale e futuro di queste vitali istituzioni. 6

Panoramica delle modifiche e dei miglioramenti del Global Go To Think Tank Index Ogni anno proviamo a rispondere sistematicamente ai commenti e ai suggerimenti per migliorare il processo di candidatura e classificazione del Global Go To Think Tank Index (GGTTI). A partire dal report inaugurale del 2006, i processi di scelta e selezione hanno subito significativi cambiamenti. Sebbene il Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program (TTCSP) cerchi continuamente di migliorare i processi di candidatura e selezione, vi sono diversi punti fermi da porre in evidenza. In primo luogo, non è nostra pretesa produrre classifiche annuali esenti da errori. Come accade anche per altri sistemi simili, il GGTTI ha i suoi limiti, che noi tentiamo costantemente di superare. In secondo luogo, i critici che si incentrano sul problema dello spettro dei think tank analizzati non comprendono l’obiettivo finale, che consiste nello studiare quale sia il contributo e l’impatto dei think tank in tutto il mondo. Il proposito dell’Index è produrre un report inclusivo e lungimirante dei think tank internazionali. Inoltre, ci auguriamo di estendere questo lavoro al maggior numero possibile di istituti in tutto il mondo.

Modifiche degli ultimi anni TTCSP si impegna ad aumentare qualità e rappresentatività dell’Index anno dopo anno. Dal 2010, centinaia di esperti hanno partecipato alla valutazione dei criteri di classificazione e ai processi di scelta e indicizzazione. Il risultato ha portato l’Index a profondi mutamenti volti a limitare parzialità, espandere la rappresentatività delle classificazioni e migliorare la qualità e l’integrità complessiva dei processi di selezione. Le seguenti modifiche sono state apportate all’Index nel corso degli ultimi anni: 2010 

Nel 2010 è stata creata una categoria riguardante i think tank con un budget annuale inferiore ai cinque milioni di dollari. Questa categoria aiuta a riconoscere il lavoro svolto da think tank relativamente piccoli che producono comunque studi di qualità; lavoro che potrebbe essere offuscato da quello di think tank ben più ampi in termini di budget e di personale.



I think tank degli Stati Uniti sono stati rimossi dalla classifica globale nello sforzo di migliorare la visibilità delle organizzazioni che operano a livello globale e mettere in rilievo i vantaggi intrinseci dei think tank americani.



La metodologia è stata rinnovata per comprendere un processo di candidatura in cui tutti i 6480 think tank individuati da TTCSP in quel dato momento sono stati invitati a inviare proprie nomine. Questo meccanismo ha sostituito un sistema in cui gli Expert Panel si occupavano della rosa iniziale delle istituzioni da prendere in esame. Il cambiamento ha aumentato notevolmente il livello di partecipazione e ha migliorato enormemente la qualità e la rappresentatività delle istituzioni nominate.



Uno sforzo di sensibilizzazione è stato diretto verso Africa, Asia, America Latina, Medio Oriente e Nord Africa (MENA) per una più ampia inclusività dell’Index. 7

2011 

2012 

La categoria relativa all’America Latina è stata suddivisa in due categorie: “Migliori think tank in Messico, Canada e nei Caraibi” e “Migliori think tank in America centrale e del sud”.

Un’ulteriore sistemazione della categoria dell’America Latina ha portato alla creazione di “Migliori think tank in Messico e Canada” e “Migliori think tank in America centrale e del sud”.



La categoria relativa all’Asia ha subito alcune revisioni volte a prevenire un’eccessiva attenzione verso Cina, India, Giappone e Repubblica di Corea. Di conseguenza, la sezione relativa all’Asia è stata divisa in due categorie: “Migliori think tank in Cina, India, Giappone e Repubblica di Corea” e “Migliori think tank in Asia (ad esclusione di Cina, India, Giappone e Repubblica di Corea)”.



Sono state create sei nuove categorie legate ai risultati conseguiti: “Migliori Think Tank indipendenti” (finanziariamente, strutturalmente e legalmente indipendenti da governo e partiti politici), “Miglior campagna di advocacy”, “Miglior politica prodotta da un think tank nel 2011-2012”, “Migliori think tank con scopo di lucro”, “Miglior think tank per l’energia e le risorse” e “Migliori think tank per l’istruzione”. Queste categorie riguardano sia i risultati specifici conseguiti sia i casi di eccellenza in particolare campi di studio. Questa espansione è volta a riconoscere l’ampiezza delle problematiche affrontate dai think tank, nonché i nuovi modelli organizzativi che sono emersi negli ultimi cinque anni.



La categoria “Migliori nuovi think tank” è passata ad esaminare organizzazioni nate negli ultimi 24 mesi e non più negli ultimi 18.

Procedimento e metodologia per il 2013 Come è già successo nel 2011 e nel 2012, l’Index di quest’anno si è basato su un processo di candidatura aperta, seguita da una revisione da parte dell’Expert Panel. Ulteriori miglioramenti sono stati fatti nella categoria relativa all’Asia, che si divide ora in tre distinte categorie: “Migliori think tank in Asia centrale”, “Migliori think tank nel sud dell’Asia e nell’area del Pacifico” e “Migliori think tank in Cina, India, Giappone e Repubblica di Corea”. L’ex-categoria “Migliori think tank per la sicurezza e gli affari internazionali” è stata divisa in due: “Migliori think tank per la difesa e la sicurezza nazionale” e “Migliori think tank per la politica estera e gli affari internazionali”. Le nuove categorie nell’Index di questo anno includono: “Think tank da monitorare”, “Miglior utilizzo dei social network”, “Miglior collaborazione istituzionale che coinvolga uno o più think tank”, “Miglior network di think tank”, “Miglior conferenza organizzata da un think tank”, “Miglior think tank per gestione”, “Miglior nuova idea o paradigma sviluppato da un think tank” e “Miglior programma di ricerca interdisciplinare presso un think tank”. Nonostante i miglioramenti di cui sopra, alcune regioni continuano a essere sottorappresentate 8

specialmente nella categoria “Migliori think tank al mondo”. Gli ostacoli attuali nell’aumentare la presenza nell’Index dei Paesi in via di sviluppo sono legati al numero relativamente contenuto degli istituti in questi paesi e alle molteplici sfide che essi affrontano. La continua prevalenza dei think tank europei e nordamericani nelle classifiche è il risultato di diversi fattori: il fatto che più del 60% dei think tank mondiali sono collocati in queste due regioni; i finanziamenti e le risorse disponibili per queste organizzazioni in tali aree; il ruolo storicamente dominante che queste aree hanno tradizionalmente esercitato sul pensiero politico economico e sociale. A fronte di tale premessa, vorremmo quindi richiamare l’attenzione sulle categorie regionali, tematiche e legate a risultati specifici che, insieme, potrebbero fornire un quadro più particolareggiato del lavoro dei think tank a livello globale. Ci auguriamo che ciò consenta una maggiore inclusività di regioni sottorappresentate nell’Index attraverso i seguenti potenziamenti: significativo aumento delle posizioni per ciascuna categoria; divisione dell’Asia in tre distinte categorie; creazione una categoria separata per Messico e Canada; realizzazione di una categoria che comprende organizzazioni con un budget inferiore ai cinque milioni di euro. Vorremmo anche evidenziare l’esclusione dei think tank collocati negli Stati Uniti dalla classifica generale. Nel fare questo è stato possibile dare risalto a think tank meno noti in regioni al di fuori degli Usa. Data la straordinaria preponderanza e preminenza dei think tank statunitensi, il fatto di includerli nell’indice globale tenderebbe a distorcere i risultati eccessivamente a loro favore. Ogni anno le nostre energie sono rivolte a generare un processo che sia rigoroso, inclusivo e oggettivo. Ciò nonostante, riconosciamo l’impossibilità di evitare del tutto parzialità nella stesura dell’Index. Inevitabilmente, parzialità di carattere personale, ideologico, disciplinare e regionale di coloro che interpelliamo possono avere influenzato le classifiche. Sebbene alcuni abbiano suggerito di puntare a un gruppo ristretto o prediligere esperti e giornalisti nel fare le selezioni, siamo irremovibili rispetto al nostro impegno verso un processo aperto e democratico. Sulla base delle garanzie sopra ricordate – il processo aperto e trasparente, disposizioni stabilite secondo criteri dettagliati di scelta e selezione nonché la crescente partecipazione ogni anno di think tank ed esperti da tutte le regioni del mondo – confidiamo nella qualità e nell’integrità dell’Index. In aggiunta, con il crescente coinvolgimento di esperti, il processo di identificazione e classificazione è ad oggi notevolmente migliorato. Crediamo che queste misure evitino il processo di identificazione e classificazione e i maggiori rischi in termini di parzialità e sotto rappresentazione. Infine, vorremmo sottolineare che il GGTTI è soltanto una delle possibili valutazioni dell’impatto e della performance dei think tank esaminati ed è stato pensato per un utilizzo congiunto ad altri indici affinché sia possibile individuare e valutare le peculiarità dei think tank in tutto il mondo. L’inclusione di una singola organizzazione all’interno dell’Index non corrisponde a un marchio di approvazione o sostegno da parte del TTCSP per quell’istituto, le sue pubblicazioni o i suoi progetti di ricerca. Viceversa, l’esclusione di un’organizzazione dalla classificazione non indica necessariamente bassa qualità, impatto irrilevante o cattiva performance. Ci sono 6826 think tank in tutto il pianeta che svolgono un lavoro eccezionale per aiutare a colmare il divario tra conoscenza e politica. Questo report non è che uno sforzo teso a porre in risalto alcuni dei think tank d’eccellenza nel mondo.

Metodologia e tempistiche Prima di iniziare il processo di candidatura e selezione del 2013, il team ha condotto una ricerca dettagliato per aggiornare e verificare il Think Tank and Civil Societies Program’s (TTCSP) Global Think Tank Database. Attraverso questo processo, altri 223 think tank sono stati individuati al fine di rappresentare possibili candidati all’inserimento nello studio di quest’anno. Un mese prima del lancio del processo di candidatura e selezione è stata inviata a tutte le organizzazioni catalogate una lettera che annunciava l’avvio del Global Go To Think Tank Index (GGTTI) del 2013. Ai think tank sono stati richiesti suggerimenti per migliorare il processo, nonché indicazioni sui potenziali candidati per l’Expert Panel. Agli studiosi selezionati negli anni precedenti è stato parimenti inviata una lettera di valutazione dell’efficacia e della validità dei criteri di classificazione e del processo di candidatura e selezione adottati nel 2012.

Tempistiche del processo di indentificazioni e classificazione Le tempistiche del processo di selezione e classificazione sono qui di seguito riassunte. Fase I: candidature (agosto – settembre 2013) Inviti a presentare le candidature sono stati fatti recapitare a 6826 think tank oltre a centinaia di giornalisti, finanziatori pubblici e privati e politici di tutto il mondo. Successivamente, le organizzazioni con cinque o più candidature presentate sono state incluse nel processo di selezione del 2013. Inviti per la collaborazione nell’ambito dell’Expert Panel del 2013 sono state presentate a tutte le personalità che avevano partecipato nel 2012. Altre richieste sono state inoltre estese agli esperti designati dai propri colleghi. Fase II: Classificazione di esperti e colleghi (ottobre – novembre 2013) L’avvio della seconda fase è stata comunicata tramite lettera alle organizzazioni presenti nel database del TTCSP oltreché a centinaia di giornalisti, politici e finanziatori pubblici e privati. In seguito al completamento del sondaggio, le classifiche sono state impaginate ed è stata compilata una lista di finalisti per l’approvazione finale da parte dell’Expert Panel. Di seguito è presente una panoramica dei più di 1950 esperti e istituti di pari livello che hanno partecipato al processo di candidatura e selezione del 2013:  793 esperti per tutte le categorie regionali e funzionali  150 giornalisti e studiosi con competenze nell’ambito del mondo della politica, dei think tank e della società civile  55 direttori, in carica e non, di think tank e network affini  40 finanziatori pubblici e privati  150 rappresentanti della società civile  Centinaia di think tank  25-30 organizzazioni intergovernative  120 istituzioni accademiche Inoltre, siamo lieti di rilevare la portata globale delle classifiche, come si desume dalle seguenti 10

statistiche, elaborate nel corso del processo di candidatura di quest’anno:  6826 think tank da 182 paesi sono stati invitati a partecipare.  1947 personalità da 120 paesi hanno partecipato al processo di candidatura e classifica;  I think tank sono stati nominati e quindi classificati in 47 categorie  2265 schede di valutazione sono state compilate durante i due turni di votazione;  52000 voti sono stati espressi nei due turni di votazione;  171 think tank sono stati designati come i migliori al mondo. Fase III: Selezioni dell’Expert Panel del 2013 Go To Think Tanks (novembre – dicembre 2013) La lista di istituzioni candidate è stata condivisa fra gli esperti, cui è stato richiesto di individuare errori gravi, omissioni e irregolarità nella rosa delle istituzioni candidate. Le classifiche sono state ultimate dopo avere preso in considerazione il loro feedback. Presentazione del 2013 Global Go To Thik Tank Index, annunciato il 22 gennaio 2014 Il GGTTI del 2013 è stato presentato presso l’Università delle Nazioni Unite a New York e presso il National Press Club a Washington, oltre che attraverso organizzazioni selezionate in tutte le regioni del mondo.

Schema di valutazione di impatto dei Think Tank 13

Chiaramente, valutare l'impatto di un think tank non è un compito semplice dati i diversi attori (spesso in conflitto tra di loro), gli eventi e le questioni politiche coinvolte nel processo di policy making. Nonostante la notevole difficoltà nello stabilire un nesso causale tra conoscenza e iniziativa politica, è necessario per i think tank capire e rispondere in maniera effettiva al crescente numero di richieste sollevate da finanziatori, giornalisti e opinione pubblica sul ruolo e l’influenza dei think tank nella società civile e all’interno delle strutture governative di tutto il mondo. I think tank possono usare criteri diversi per valutare il loro impatto e il valore del loro contributo negli ambienti politici della società civile. Gran parte della recente ricerca TTCSP si è concentrata sullo sviluppo di uno strumento di valutazione completo per la valutazione dell'impatto dei think tank. L’impulso a questa ricerca derivava in parte dall’apparente confusione riguardante la differenza tra produzione e impatto. In diversi studi e sondaggi del TTCSP, i ricercatori e i think tank fornivano elenchi dei prodotti delle loro ricerche (come libri, conferenze, visite web, apparizioni sui media, ecc) in risposta a domande relative al loro impatto politico e su come misurarlo. La produzione scientifica, tuttavia, non costituisce l'unica maniera per misurare l'impatto. Il sistema di misurazione fornito qui di seguito è stato progettato per catalizzare la discussione su come misurare efficacemente l'impatto dei think tank. Uno funge da background per il processo di classifica dei think tank; noi ci auguriamo che chiarisca la distinzione tra risultati e impatto, in modo da fornire uno strumento utile per la preparazione delle vostre classifiche. Chiediamo ai nostri colleghi e membri dell’Expert Panel di tenere in considerazione anche i seguenti indicatori quando valuteranno l'impatto del think tank: 

Indicatori di risorse: capacità di assumere e tenere legati a se importanti studiosi e analisti; il livello, la qualità e la stabilità del sostegno finanziario; la prossimità e l’accesso dei decisori politici alle altre élite politiche; uno staff con la capacità di condurre ricerche rigorose e produrre analisi incisive e tempestive; la valutazione istituzionale; la qualità e l'affidabilità dei network; i contatti chiave nelle comunità accademiche di studi politici e dei media.



Indicatori d'impiego: reputazione dell’organizzazione in quanto punto di riferimento da

parte dei media e delle élite politiche del paese; quantità e qualità delle apparizioni e delle citazioni sui media, visite sul web; attività consultive presso organi legislativi o esecutivi; briefing, appuntamenti ufficiali, le consulenze per funzionari o dipartimenti / agenzie; libri venduti, relazioni distribuite, riferimenti a ricerche e analisi in pubblicazioni e partecipazioni scientifiche e divulgative in occasione di conferenze e seminari. 

Indicatori di output: numero e qualità delle proposte di iniziative politiche e delle idee prodotte; pubblicazioni (libri, articoli in riviste specializzate, policy brief, ecc); notizie e interviste condotte; briefing, conferenze e seminari organizzati; i membri dello staff nominati a incarichi di consulenza e di governo.



Indicatori di impatto: indicazioni prese in considerazione o adottate dai decisori politici e

da organizzazioni della società civile; la centralità dei network concentrati nello studio di date questioni; ruolo consultivo a favore di partiti politici, candidati, team di transizione; premi conseguiti; pubblicazioni o citazione di proprie pubblicazioni all’interno di riviste specialistiche, di pareri ufficiali e di media che influenzano il dibattito politico e i processi di decision-making; posizione avanzata nell’ambito di listserv e sito web; capacità di mettere in 14

discussione le conoscenze tradizionali e le procedure usuali di funzionari e rappresentanti politici nel paese. Al di là della valutazione quantitativa, una efficace valutazione di impatto dovrebbe coinvolgere le ONG, i membri di governo e il personale politico per accertare in che misura ciò che viene prodotto dai think tank venga effettivamente utilizzato. Questa partecipazione può essere ottenuta attraverso interviste, sondaggi, questionari, focus group e incontri. Nonostante tale giudizio qualitativo sia essenziale, poiché evidenzia come l’impatto nelle politiche possa essere conseguito con successo anche se le raccomandazioni non sono immediatamente tradotte in iniziative politiche, noi riteniamo opportuno che tale giudizio diventi un effettivo indice dei think tank: in tal modo, sarà possibile effettuare un confronto dei dati di base per un efficace monitoraggio e per una migliore valutazione futura.

Risultati del Global Go To Rankings del 2013 Prima di presentare i risultati di quest'anno, vorrei sottolineare come l'inclusione di un istituto nell'universo dei principali think tank non corrisponda a un marchio di approvazione o avallo degli istituti, delle loro pubblicazioni o dei loro progetti da parte della Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program. Allo stesso modo, l'incapacità a raggiungere la candidatura non indica necessariamente una mancanza di qualità e di efficacia oppure una performance scarsa. Ci sono 6826 think tank che stanno svolgendo un lavoro eccezionale per contribuire a colmare il divario tra acquisizione di conoscenza e scelte politiche. Questo report non costituisce altro che un tentativo di evidenziare alcuni dei principali think tank in tutto il mondo. Detto ciò, è con grande soddisfazione e piacere che presento qui di seguito i risultati del 2013 delle classificazioni del 2013.

Background on the Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program The Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program (TTCSP) at the University of Pennsylvania conducts research on the role policy institutes play in governments and civil societies around the world. Often referred to as the “think tanks’ think tank,” TTCSP examines the evolving role and character of public policy research organizations. Over the last 25 years, the TTCSP 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. These international collaborative efforts 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. The TTCSP works with leading scholars and practitioners from think tanks and universities in a variety of collaborative efforts and programs, and produces the annual Global Go To Think Tank Index that ranks the world’s leading think tanks in a variety of categories. This 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 Think 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 profile 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 TTCSP 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 TTCSP 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 TTCSP 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 effort 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.
