A nation must think before it acts.
About the Event
With the release of the annual rankings of think tanks around the world on January 30, more than 100 think tanks are sponsoring forums on the role of think tanks in public policy. At FPRI, we will feature brief remarks by several FPRI scholars on FPRI’s role in the larger community of think tanks, responding to such questions as What makes FPRI tick? Does FPRI matter? How can we do better? Then we will invite our audience to respond with their own thoughts and questions. Participating FPRI scholars include: Michael Noonan, Director of Research; Tally Helfont, Director of the Program on the Middle East; Ronald Granieri, Director of the Center for the Study of America and the West; Jacques deLisle, Director of the Asia Program; Lawrence Husick, co-chair of the Center for the Study of Terrorism; Maia Otarashvili, Program Manager, Eurasia Program; Dominic Tierney, Senior Fellow, and others to be announced.
The Global Think Tank Index is conducted by the University of Pennsylvania’s Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program, directed by James McGann (also Director of FPRI’s Think Tanks and Foreign Policy Program).
