Ispi Istituto Per Gli Studi Di Politica Internazionale

The Italian Institute for International Political Studies (ISPI) is an independent think tank dedicated to being a resource for government officials, business executives, journalists, civil servants, students and the public at large wishing to better understand international issues. Founded in Milan in 1934, ISPI carries out its mission by a sound pragmatic approach, based on monitoring geopolitical areas as well as major trends in international affairs. Comprehensive interdisciplinary analysis is ensured by close collaboration with specialists (not only academics) in political, economic, legal, historical and strategic studies and an ever-growing network of think tanks, research centres and Universities in Europe and abroad. The Institute’s activities branch out in four major directions: Producing reports with both findings and policy prescriptions on the most important international topics, Providing up-to-date information and insights on world events and Italy/Europe’s perspectives through its website and online publications, Convening meetings at its headquarters in Milan, as well as in Rome and other cities, where policy makers, business leaders, and high-level thinkers join ISPI’s experts to discuss major international issues, Training tomorrow’s Italian diplomats and people wishing to work in governmental and non-governmental international organizations. In 2012 ISPI was included among the Best 100 Think Tanks worldwide (non-US) in ''Global Go To Think Tanks Report'' published by the University of Pennsylvania and scored a remarkable 34th place in the “Best Policy Studies produced by a Think Tank” category.
