IPN’s UK Charity (No. CC 262982) was founded by [[Globalisation: Antony Fisher]] in 1971 under its original name which was the International Institute for Economic Research (IIER). The mission of this body is to “Promote the advancement of learning by research into economic and political science and the publication of such research.” In 1981 the IIER, thanks in the most to Fisher, started a side project called the Atlas Economic Research Foundation. It was not until 2001 when the IIER went under some more rebranding that it became the International Policy Network. <ref>IPN, "[http://policynetwork.net/ipn-history History]", accessed 12.10.10</ref>. It has been an agent of globalisation since its beginning and the work which they strive to achieve can be further described in this sense when compared with some words from Giddens: “In terms of growth rates, over the past 15 years the comparison is zero growth for closed poor economies and approximately 5 percent growth for open poor economies. Moreover, in the open poor economies there is a reduction in inequality rather than an increase” <ref>Antony Giddens, “[http://fathom.com/course/10701014/session3.html The Globalisation Debate]” accessed 18.11.10.</ref>. A separate quote which follows along the same lines as this is when John Blundell states that the countries which are following the plans laid down by the institutes which Fisher had set up are going up the ranks where as the countries which have not set up such economic institutes have not fared as well<ref>John Blundell, "[http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1468-0270.00108/pdf No Antony Fisher, no IEA: ‘The Case for Freedom’ after 50 years]"</ref>.

===Aims===

−
The IPN lists its areas of interest as:
 
−
Health
 
−
Free Trade and Globalisation
 
−
Sustainable Development & the Environment
 
−
Technology
 
−
Economics
 
−
 
−
Health
 
−
One of IPN’s aims is to concentrate on a health programme which develops practical solutions to global health issues and raises awareness and encourages discussion of the role of market institutions in improving health. This health programme has been raising awareness by their blogs, opinions articles, publications and through the media.
 
−
This programme addresses many issues of which are often very difficult such as the impact of regulations on modern technologies that can improve health and nutrition, neglected diseases, taxes and tariffs and access to medicines and obstacles to curtailing the spread of infectious diseases.

A lot of time and money has been spent by international agencies and governments to try and improve these health issues but these however have not been very successful and have cost many lives.

===Views on climate change===
 
−
“Julian Morris, director of IPN in London, has argued for many years that climate change is a hoax.”<ref>David Cronin, “[http://www.truth-out.org/who-pays-to-deny-climate-change63822 Who Pays To Deny Climate Change]”, Truth Out, 3 October 2010, accessed 19.10.10</ref>

In a letter by Julian Morris to the Toronto Star, in response to their editorial titled “Time for the World to Unite on Climate Change” (7 December), Morris states that “Poverty largely results from government policies which hinder people from generating wealth and prosperity. Tragically, the leaders of poor countries invoke the climate change scapegoat to explain hunger, sickness and climate vulnerability.” This is a response to the Toronto Star’s statement that climate change will “ravage our planet, and with it our prosperity and security”. Morris implies in this letter that climate change is not the cause of poverty, it is merely a scapegoat used by governments.  <ref>Julian Morris, “[http://www.policynetwork.net/development/media/leaders-must-confront-poverty-well-climate-change-copenhagen Leaders must confront poverty as well as climate change in Copenhagen]”, International Policy Network, 11 December 2009, accessed 19.10.10</ref> Furthermore, IPN argues that “attempts to prevent (or mitigate) man-made climate change are a waste of money. It would be better to let it happen and adapt to its effects.” <ref>George Monbiot, “[http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2006/sep/26/comment.oil/print Pundits who contest climate change should tell us who is paying them]”, The Guardian, 26th September 2006, accessed 26.10.10</ref> Critics say that this response if fuelled by donations from companies such as Exxon, who would financially suffer from the actions taken to control climate change. IPN state that, with regards to climate change, “attempting to control it through global regulation of emissions would be counterproductive” <ref>George Monbiot, “[http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2006/sep/26/comment.oil/print Pundits who contest climate change should tell us who is paying them]”, The Guardian, 26th September 2006, accessed 26.10.10</ref>

IPN argues that attempts to prevent (or mitigate) man-made climate change are a waste of money. It would be better to let it happen and adapt to its effects. The Network published a book this year arguing that "humanity has until at least 2035 to determine whether or not mitigation will also be a necessary part of our strategy to address climate change". <ref> George Monbiot, “[http://www.theage.com.au/news/opinion/how-corporations-have-hijacked-the-climate-change-debate/2006/09/26/1159036541719.html?page=fullpage#contentSwap1 How corporations have hijacked the climate change debate]”, The Age, 27th September 2006, accessed 2.11.10</ref>

Before the Kyoto Protocol took force the IPN funded a poll from which they claimed that 57% of the UK’s population believe the UK should not implement Kyoto if it will harm Britain's economy and 70% believe that Britain should pursue alternative, less costly strategies. They claimed that “studies show that as Kyoto is implemented during 2008-2010, it is likely to harm Britain's economy by increasing the price of electricity, fuel and consumer goods, leading to slower economic growth and higher operating costs for employers, and causing job losses”<ref>Kendra Okonski, “[http://abob.libs.uga.edu/bobk/ccc/cc120303.html  UK public sceptical of Kyoto Protocol]”, Cambridge Conference Correspondence, 3rd December 2003, accessed 9.11.10</ref>

IPN seeks to bring down barriers to enterprise and trade, in order to achieve a world of opportunity, peace and prosperity. [1] The organisation describes itself as a think-tank or independent charity, although critics have accused it of being more like a lobbying group [2]

History

IPN’s UK Charity (No. CC 262982) was founded by Globalisation: Antony Fisher in 1971 under its original name which was the International Institute for Economic Research (IIER). The mission of this body is to “Promote the advancement of learning by research into economic and political science and the publication of such research.” In 1981 the IIER, thanks in the most to Fisher, started a side project called the Atlas Economic Research Foundation. It was not until 2001 when the IIER went under some more rebranding that it became the International Policy Network. [3]. It has been an agent of globalisation since its beginning and the work which they strive to achieve can be further described in this sense when compared with some words from Giddens: “In terms of growth rates, over the past 15 years the comparison is zero growth for closed poor economies and approximately 5 percent growth for open poor economies. Moreover, in the open poor economies there is a reduction in inequality rather than an increase” [4]. A separate quote which follows along the same lines as this is when John Blundell states that the countries which are following the plans laid down by the institutes which Fisher had set up are going up the ranks where as the countries which have not set up such economic institutes have not fared as well[5].

IPN’s sister organization, International Policy Network US Inc., is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization incorporated in 2001. The two organizations are separate legal and financial entities with independent boards, working together with a common vision [6].
