The Institute for Economics and Peace has been included on the Global Go To
Think Tank Index.
The Institute for Economics and Peace has been recognised as one of the top
15 most influential Think Tanks in the world. This is a big win for the
institute and for all those working to influence more peaceful policies and
to foster development through research and analysis. Think tanks are
catalysts for new ideas, analysis and action in international affairs.
Today, the Institute for Economics and Peace (the brains behind Vision of
Humanity and the Global Peace Index) has been included on the 2014 Global Go
To Think Tank Index.
This recognition is significant for the Institute, as it is a reflection of
the uptake, use and impact of their research related to peace metrics, peace
economics, country risk analysis and positive peace. It is a big win not
just for the institute, but for the broader research community and all those
working in the field of peace research.
One of the core aims of the Institute for Economics and Peace is to “shift
the way the world thinks about peace and to show that it is a positive and
achievable measure of human well-being and development”. While this is an
ambitious goal, it is one that they have been steadily working towards over
the last seven years. Over the last few years they’ve progressed towards
achieving this goal both in terms of the research they are producing and the
impact and influence of this research across the world. Read a few of the
highlights from 2014 here.

to various criteria. Read more in the Global Go To Think Tank Report
