I am pleased to announce that the *2009 Global Go To Think Tanks 

*rankings and trends report is now available. You can download the 

report at: 

http://www.sas.upenn.edu/irp/documents/2009GlobalGoToReportThinkTankIndex_1.31.2010.02.01.pdf



 



The publication of the 2009 Global Go To Think Tanks rankings marks the 

fourth year we have produced the rankings and trends report. This year’s 

rankings process was guided by a panel of close to 300 scholars and 

experts from around the world. An additional 760 peer institutions, 

policymakers, donors and journalists participated in the final round of 

the rankings process.



 



We are constantly trying to improve the quality of our data on think 

tanks so that critical changes in countries and regions are reflected in 

our research. This year we developed and piloted an on-line rankings 

survey which improved the rankings process. We welcome your comments and 

suggestions on how we might improve the nomination and rankings process.  



 



Our initial effort to produce a list of the leading think tanks in the 

world grew out of a series of requests from donors and journalists to 

produce national, regional and international lists of the top think 

tanks. Our continuing effort is now defined by our desire to understand 

their role in governments and civil societies around the world so we can 

help improve their capacity and performance.



 



We believe our system of ranking the top think tanks using a shared 

definition of public policy research, analysis and engagement 

organizations, a detailed set of selection criteria and an open and 

transparent nomination and selection process has tremendous utility for 

think tanks, policymakers, donors and the public. We are particularly 

pleased by the increased participation from developing countries which 

allows us to bring special attention to the important work they are 

doing in often very difficult circumstances.  



 



Thanks again for all your support over the years and for helping make 

the Think Tanks and Civil Society Program a success.



 



Sincerely
