The Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) is a progressive think tank based in Washington, DC, dedicated to building a more equitable, ecologically sustainable, and peaceful society. In partnership with dynamic social movements, we turn transformative policy ideas into action. Based in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, the Transnational Institute is an international research and advocacy institute committed to building a just, democratic, and sustainable world. For more than forty years, TNI has served as a unique nexus between social movements, engaged scholars, and policy makers. Focus on the Global South was established in 1995 to challenge neoliberalism, militarism and corporate-driven globalisation while strengthening just and equitable alternatives. With offices in Bangkok, New Delhi, and Manila, we work in solidarity with the Global South--the great majority of humanity that is marginalized and dispossessed by corporate-driven globalisation and global capitalism--believing that progressive social change and Global South solidarity are imperative if the needs and aspirations of oppressed peoples across the world are to be met.
