Chatham House Again Named No.1 Non-US Think-Tank

26 January 2010
Chatham House is pleased to have been ranked the 'No. 1 think-tank based outside the United States' by an international survey for the second year in a row. It is also listed as the top think-tank in Western Europe and sixth among the 'top security and international affairs think-tanks' worldwide.

The survey, 'The Global "Go-To Think-Tanks" 2009' is carried out under the leadership of Dr James McGann at the University of Pennsylvania and offers the most comprehensive ranking of the world's leading think-tanks. The survey was launched at the United Nations University Office at the UN, New York, on 21 January 2010.

Director Dr Robin Niblett said, 'I am delighted that the work of Chatham House and its staff has been recognized in this way for a second consecutive year. The "think-tank" space is becoming increasingly competitive as existing institutions vie with new ones to offer ideas to policy- and decision-makers around the world. Chatham House continues to do a great job in anticipating some of the momentous shifts in the global balance of political and economic power such as that we have witnessed this past year. We cannot be complacent about the complex challenges that these shifts present to us analytically and institutionally and are committed to maintaining the reputation we have earned for independent analysis and creative thinking on international affairs.'
