The 100 Most Influential Think Tanks In The World For 2017

Think Tank

It does not come as a surprise, at least for me, that Brookings Institution was declared as the most influential think tank in the world in 2016, followed by the UK’s Chatham House, ranked 2nd, and French Institute of International Relations (IFRI), ranked third.

Meanwhile, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) was ranked 4th internationally (U.S. and non-U.S.), followed by Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Bruegel, RAND Corporation, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, Fundacao Getulio Vargas, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).

As rated by the Think Tank and Civil Societies Program at the University of Pennsylvania, U.S. has 1,835 think tanks, the highest globally, followed by China with 435, and the United Kingdom has 288. India stands in 4th position with 280 think tanks. Report is the largest and most comprehensive database of think tanks, comprising over 6,500 institutions in 179 countries since its inception in 1989.
