The Stockholm Network is a working group of more than 120 market-oriented think tanks from across Europe. It calls itself "a one-stop shop for organisations seeking to work with Europe’s brightest policymakers and thinkers" and claims to have "the capacity to deliver local messages and locally-tailored global messages across the EU and beyond."[1] The network churns out thousands of op-eds in the "high-quality European press", produces hundreds of publications and holds several conferences, seminars and meetings to "influence many millions of Europeans every year."[2] Helen Disney the Stockholm Network's founder and director describes it as "not a think tank, as such, but a networking service for think tanks across Europe."[3]

Writing in The Times in December 2005, Paul Staines wrote that the Stockholm Network, "turns out to be in fact the public face of Market House International, a PR consultancy that tells corporate clients that the network gives it 'local capacity to deliver both local messages and locally tailored global messages in a wide range of countries'." [4]

Aims and Policy Issues

The Network is described as a forum for "sharing, exchanging and developing pan-European research and best practice."[5] In order to promote ideas to stimulate economic growth, the Stockholm Network concentrates on the following policy issues:

  • Reforming European welfare states and creating a more flexible labour market
  • Updating European pension systems to empower individuals
  • Ensuring more consumer-driven healthcare, through reform of European health systems and markets
  • Encouraging an informed debate on intellectual property rights as an incentive to innovate and develop new knowledge in the future, whilst ensuring wide public access to such products in the present
  • Reforming European energy markets to ensure the most beneficial balance between economic growth and environmental quality
  • Emphasising the benefits of globalisation, trade and competition and creating an understanding of free market ideas and institutions.[6]

History

The Stockholm Network was founded in September 1997 by Helen Disney, [7] a British journalist and policy specialist, and initially managed by the Swedish think tank, Timbro. Disney had landed a job with the pro market think tank the Social Market Foundation in 1996, a year after gaining an undergraduate degree at Brisol University in languages. It was while she was at the SMF that the Stockholm Network was created and launched. In early versions of the SN website the SMF is listed as one of four 'main groups' of the network along with Timbro (Sweden), Paradigmes (France) and The Centre for the New Europe (a pan-European think tank based in Brussels, Belgium).[8]

It later became part of Civitas, which was formerly known as the Health and Welfare Unit of the Institute for Economic Affairs. It has been independently run since 2004. [9] Early aims (which extend to present day) were:

"to find an efficient method of connecting like-minded policymakers and thinkers; to encourage collaboration on joint research projects in order to share the most successful policy innovations and arguments more widely; and to ensure a wider audience and a more co-ordinated approach to the dissemination of market-oriented ideas within Europe and beyond its borders."[10]

Health and Welfare Programme

The Stockholm Network's Health and Welfare Programme was set up at the end of 2005. Key aims and objectives include:[11]

  • Providing a comprehensive resource on European think tank initiatives in the field of Health and Welfare
  • Promoting competition and choice in healthcare, through reform of European health systems and markets
  • Promoting more flexible labour markets in Europe
  • Promoting market oriented reform of Europe's failing pensions systems

'The UK Pharmaceutical Industry: Current Challenges and Future Solutions'

In 2009, the Stockholm Network published a reported, The UK Pharmaceutical Industry: Current Challenges and Future Solutions, calling for the UK Government to fund the pharmaceutical industry. According to the publication written by Ross Carroll and Stuart Carroll, ‘[A] lack of government investment is another factor adversely affecting the UK pharmaceutical industry.’[12] The report, which was a part of the ‘Stockholm Network Experts’ Series’, also called a reduction in the rate of UK corporation tax; tax credits for new product introduction and technological development; and the simplification of ‘taxation rules and reduce the burden of complex legislation and regulation through the utilisation of cutting-edge approaches.’ [13] The publication was allegedly criticised by other free-market think tanks. According to emails seen by the Telegraph, the head of one said: “The whole thing is mad. I cannot imagine any free market think tank now being able to stay in membership [of the Stockholm Network].” Another claimed:

"As far as I can see this is the end of the Stockholm Network as a network for European free market think tanks. It might however be the opening attempt at some sort of consultancy… Whatever, the whole thing is totally —— up: big time."[14]

The Science-Democracy Debate

In 2005, the Stockholm Network co-sponsored the ‘Westminster Fringe Debate’ with the motion “Democratisation of science would not be in the public interest”. According to the organisers:

“Science is driven by curiosity. Would any attempt to put that under greater public scrutiny deaden scientific inquiry or must scientists now come to terms with the fears and priorities of society at large? And is public accountability a meaningful concept in science? Scientists may not know what they are going to discover when they start experimenting or to what use it may ultimately be put. Are the public qualified to determine the priorities of scientific research? Is that untrammelled freedom for science out of date and dangerous?”[15]

Lord Dick Taverne from Sense About Science and Colin Blakemore, who was Chief Executive of the UK Medical Research Council (MRC) at the time, supported the motion which was carried.[16]

Health Publications

2010


"This paper has attempted to reiterate the successes that have been achieved in the CEE region, in regards to reforming healthcare. However, it has also highlighted the threat that is posed to CEE countries’ achievements in health by the financial crisis and an evermore uncertain fiscal future. It is argued that through the introduction of public-private partnerships, a greater mix of financing models and increased competition the obstacles posed by the financial crisis can be resolved and the future of healthcare in the region can be a continuation in the success story, as opposed to a turnaround of fortunes."

Links to American Organisations

The Stockholm Network is listed on the website for the Atlas Economic Research Foundation [20], an American organisation based near Washington that “serves as a catalyst and connector to link free-market organizations and individuals to the ideas, people and resources they need to promote a free society.”[21]

Funding

According to its website, the Stockholm Network receives funding from a variety of individuals, corporations, trade associations and foundations:

’A mixture of for-profit and not-for-profit organisations, some SN supporters are large global enterprises, while others are small or medium in size. Subscriptions from individuals, commercial enterprises, and a range of NGOs make up the bulk of our funding. We also derive a small income from the sale of our publications and research materials to the public, bookshops, government agencies and private companies. Corporate subscribers come from a wide range of sectors that currently include information technology, energy, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, entertainment, public affairs, and insurers.’[22]

Funders, however, ‘do not have a veto over the outcome of Stockholm Network research or any influence over its media output.’ The network maintains that it does not accept payments intended to ‘purchase’ prearranged research outcomes. It also insists it is not a ‘front group’ for other organisations or individuals and that contributors are listed in full on its annual report and website. [23]

The Corporate Europe Observatory give the following description of an e-mail exchange with Helen Disney regarding the funding of the Stockholm Network:

The Stockholm Network is funded, Disney explained, "by annual subscriptions from private individuals, companies and foundations, including think tanks". When we responded asking for a list of funders and how much they contribute, Disney told us that the Stockholm Network has "around 25 major funders across a variety of sectors including public affairs firms, venture capitalists, pharmaceutical companies, healthcare providers, trade associations, software companies and the energy sector." Still no names and no figures, although Disney did add that sponsors "do not have a veto over any research we conduct and may not commission research from the Network". When we insisted once more on names and figures, the response was that "I cannot give you the information you ask for since our accounts for 2004 will not be completed for another month". We then suggested that Disney could send us the overview for 2003, to give us an idea, but also this proved to be impossible. Disney argued that until January 2004, the Stockholm Network was technically part of the think tank Civitas, "so did not have its own accounts." At this stage, Disney did inform us about the Stockholm Network's annual subscription charges of £1000, £5000 or £10,000 per year. "Larger corporate donors tend to join at the £10,000 level", she explained. The Stockholm Network clearly took the survey seriously and spent significant amount of time responding, but with a remarkable determination to avoid naming funders[24]

‘Companies are being asked to take part in a survey about how they license so-called green patents in the first large-scale empirical study of its kind.’ The survey was run by Meir Pugatch of the Stockholm Network. The European Patent Office carried out the work in conjunction with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development (ICTSD). Makes reference to a group of companies including GE and Microsoft called the Innovation, Development, and Employment Alliance (IDEA), ‘to urge governments to respect IP rights over products and technologies that could be used to mitigate climate change.’

Health

  • The health policy impact of the EU’s new Presidency.[43]
  • Theory versus Practice.[44]
‘In this paper, the Stockholm Network explores the issue of governance of Health Technology Assessment (HTA) systems. It finds that, while there seems to be a convergence among different countries towards the HTA appraisal and review process, there are still considerable differences in the manner in which national HTA system operate as a whole. Such differences, it is argued, ultimately lead to different outcomes and outputs of national HTA systems, not least in the context of patients` ability to access new and innovative healthcare technologies.’
  • Biogenerics or Biosimilars? Discussing the Present, Considering the Future.[46]
  • Europe’s “postcode lottery” – the challenge of central authorisation versus national access to medicines.[47]
  • Eye on Europe 17.[48]

  • Gesundheit! Issue 5.[50]
  • The UK Pharmaceutical Industry: Current Challenges and Future Solutions.[51]
‘In this paper, Ross and Stuart Carroll examine the current issues and challenges facing the UK pharmaceutical industry, traditionally a strategic industry in the UK economy. The paper highlights changing market conditions – the fall of the `blockbuster` drug, the rise of counterfeit drugs, and increased demand for generics, personalised medicines and preventative medicinal products – as well as new sources of competition from emerging markets. It also looks at institutional challenges, including the UK`s tax environment and its pricing and reimbursement system. The paper further points to supply-side issues, specifically falling investment in scientific education and skills.’

Climate Change

  • Climate of Opinion 13.[53]
  • Climate of Opinion: The Stockholm Network’s Energy and Environment Update Issue 12 – The Arctic.[54]

Think Tank Library

’To help alleviate the crisis of confidence in Britain’s liberalised energy market, Knowledge is power sets out a number of options to improve transparency for consumers and the market. As we enter an age of increasingly expensive energy, better consumer information is essential if we are to secure public support to meet the challenges of security of supply and decarbonisation. Whilst better market transparency for energy companies, especially new entrants, will help maintain competition and allow the lowest prices possible to be delivered to consumers.’
  • Interic publication on intellectual property rights.[58]
