Organisations function or personal affiliations
'The Globalisation Institute is a think tank founded in 2005 with the aim of examining how globalisation can be harnessed to work for the World's poorest.' [1]
People
Its main personnel are:
- Director-general: Alex Singleton
- Research director: Tom Clougherty
- Senior fellow: Adrian Pepper
- Projects director: Keith Boyfield
Objectives
According to Alex Singleton:
- 'We have two main objectives. The first involves “policy engineering” - the development of practical policy options aimed at the European Commission and other policymakers, backed up by the promotion of those ideas. The second involves making the broader intellectual case for free and competitive markets, and individual freedom. The GI works therefore to promote its agenda both in today’s political debate and also to move the goalposts of tomorrow’s debate.'
On 1 September, 2007, the Globalisation Institute opened a permanent office in Brussels on the basis that 'Many policymakers in Brussels have commented that while they value following the Institute's output on trade and globalisation from afar, they would very much like access to the Institute's thinking and events in Brussels itself. With trade policy decided in Brussels, along with much of the decision-making about how we engage with globalisation in its broadest sense, expanding into Brussels is a logical next step in the development of the Institute.'
