The
University of Pennsylvania's (UPenn)
Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program
announced rankings of the leading public
policy
research organizations
in the world in their annual Global
"Go-To Think Tanks" report. The
presentation of the report took place at
the United Nations Headquarters in New
York. According to the University
of Pennsylvania rankings -
a result of surveys from 1500 scholars
and peer
review evaluation
- the Center for Economic and Social
Development (CESD) is one of the top 25
think tanks in Central
and Eastern Europe, including
CIS. CESD is the only think tank from
the Caucasus and Central
Asia included
in the top think tanks rankings.
CESD
is also ranked as one of the top 25 domestic
economic policy thinks
tanks in the world. Only CESD (ranked
19) and the Center for Economic and Social
Research (CASE),
(Poland,
ranked 21) were included in the list
from Central
and Eastern Europe and
CIS countries.
In
its fourth edition, this report is the
first comprehensive ranking of the
world’s top think tanks, based on a
worldwide survey of close to 1500
scholars, policy makers, journalists and
regional and subject area experts. The
think tank index has been described as
the insider’s guide to the global
marketplace of ideas. All 6,480 think
tanks in the world were contacted and
encouraged to participate in this year’s
nomination process. This group of peers
and experts were asked to nominate and
then rank regional
or global
centers of excellencethat they
felt should be recognized for producing
rigorous and relevant research,
publications and programs in one or more
substantive areas of research.
In 2010, the Global Go-To Think
Tank Rankings
(GGTTTR) process for nominating and
selecting the leading public policy
research organizations (think tanks) was
restructured based on feedback we
received from scholars, think tanks and
experts who had participated in the
nomination and selection
process since
its inception five years ago.
