Photo: Univ. of Pennsylvania Report: Chilean Think Tank Among Best in the World
According to a report out of the University of Pennsylvania, Chile is home to one of the world’s top think tanks.
Taking into account the think tanks’ influence in policy, academic teams, originality, and influence in both the political and academic world, the Univ. of Pennsylvania’s 2011 Global Go To Think Tanks Rankings named Chile’s Center for Public Studies (CEP) No. 23 out of the world’s top think tanks.
In total, about 25,000 think tanks were nominated, so being in the top 25 is quite the honor.
Among the Central and South American region, the CEP was number two, behind Brazil’s Getulio Vargas Foundation.
In the end, the Brookings Institute in the United States took the top overall spot for 2011.
And while the U.S. and European think tanks took many of the top spots, the rise of those in Latin America were the most impressive.
