IPN\u2019s campaigns were pro-free market.According to its website, “IPN aims to empower individuals and promote respect for people and property in order to eliminate poverty, improve human health and protect the environment. IPN promotes public awareness of the importance of this vision for all people, both rich and poor.“IPN seeks to achieve its vision by promoting the role of market institutions in certain key international policy debates: sustainable development, health, and globalisation and trade. IPN works with academics, think tanks, journalists and policymakers on every continent.”       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsHistory[edit]Funding[edit]Programs[edit]Links to other organisations[edit]Past notable trustees\/directors[edit]Past notable staff[edit]Some of IPN’s partners[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]History[edit]IPN was founded as a UK charity by Sir Antony Fisher in 1971. 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”. The charity\u2019s original name was The International Institute for Economic Research, and now is The Atlas Economic Research Foundation (UK), but operates under the name International Policy Network.IPN\u2019s sister organization, International Policy Network US Inc., is a non-profit started in 2001.Funding[edit]IPN is funded entirely by voluntary, charitable gifts from foundations, individuals and businesses. IPN does not receive any funding from governments or political parties, and it does no contract work. IPN develops and implements a research and advocacy agenda that encompasses not one or a few, but many public policy issues.IPN has received grants totaling hundreds of thousands of pounds from the multinational energy company ExxonMobil,[3] although it has not received money from the energy sector for some years.Programs[edit]IPN undertakes ongoing work on public policy in the areas of health, environment, economic development, trade, creativity and innovation.The Freedom to Trade Campaign[4] is run in collaboration with the Atlas Global Initiative. The campaign joins 73 think tanks in 48 countries to support free trade and oppose protectionism.IPN\u2019s Bastiat Prize for Journalism[5] was founded in 2002. The prize recognises and rewards journalists and commentators who support the free society. This year,[when?] IPN will award the first Bastiat Prize for Online Journalism.Links to other organisations[edit]IPN was founded by Antony Fisher in the UK as the International Institute for Economic Research (IIER) in 1971. Fisher went on to found the Atlas Economic Research Foundation in the US in 1981, and from this point the IIER traded as Atlas Foundation UK. The organisation underwent a further rebranding in 2001, when it changed its name to IPN. In the US, the Atlas Foundation also provides training and funding to start libertarian think tanks. Fisher founded the influential Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), a classical liberal think tank based in London. The founding director of IPN, Julian Morris, was previously director of the IEA’s Environment and Technology Programme.Past notable trustees\/directors[edit]Past notable staff[edit]Some of IPN’s partners[edit]Institute of Public Policy Analysis, NigeriaInter Region Economic Network, KenyaFree Market Foundation, South AfricaAfrica Resource BankAction Research Community Health, IndiaInstitute of Public Affairs, AustraliaMaking Our Economy Right, BangladeshAssociation for Liberal Thinking (Liberal D\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnce Toplulu\u011fu), TurkeyTimbro, SwedenLiberty Institute, IndiaCentre for Civil Society, IndiaInstitute of Economic AffairsMontreal Economic InstituteCentro de Divulgacion del Conocimiento Economico, VenezuelaLibertad y Desarrollo, ChileFundacion Libertad Democracia y Desarrollo, BoliviaInstituto de Libre Empresa, PeruThe Lion Rock Institute, Hong KongInstituto Liberdade, BrazilReferences[edit]External links[edit]     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/international-policy-network-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"International Policy Network – Wikipedia"}}]}]
