World Policy Institute

The World Policy Institute at New School University in New York is a research and education policy center that seeks innovative solutions to critical problems facing the United States and the world. WPI has been a source of informed policy leadership for close to 40 years. It is renowned for its cutting-edge analysis on managing the global market economy, constructing a workable system for collective security, and fostering civil society. [1]

Its three priority areas are:

• policy proposals "on the measures needed for the management of a world market economy, the development of a workable system of collective security, and the creation of an active transnational civil society";
• to "train journalists, policymakers, business and civic leaders to be capable of understanding emerging world problems and of reconciling the often competing demands of globalization and national policy";
• to "nurture a new generation of writers and public intellectuals committed to internationalist thinking and to provide students in the New School community with an opportunity to gain practical experience in policy research and advocacy on global issues". [2]
