Working mode, goals

The free market think tank emphasizes the importance of free market principles based on the rule of law, an independent judiciary, protection of property rights, economic freedom and limited government. The institute seeks to gain influence by publishing studies, contributing opinions, organizing seminars and conferences and combining regional as well as international forces. Under the institute's overall controll several internationally operating think tanks carry out the congresses of the International Leaders Summit. Regional presentations of the 6th Summit in 2009 were carried out in cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce in Belgrad, the Charles University's Institute of Economics and the market liberal project Lodz, presenting the current Index of Economic Freedom by the Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal.

Topics

We used the DGs of the EU to generate a basic list of topics. This list is going to be steadily extended. However we try to preserve a persistent list of topics.

• Institutional Reform/Public Services
• Justice and fundamental rights
• Taxation and Customs Union, Audit and Anti-Fraud
• Anti-fraud
• property rights

All topics radically criticize the status quo.

Semantic Fields

What we call here a semantic field is the idea to categorize think tanks in a two level system. The first levels are so called 'Virtual Networks' and the second are the semantic fields. Accordingly every semantic field entered here has to be attached to a virtual network. If you would like to follow a special phenomenon among think tanks please contact us and we are going to add a new virtual network. Semantic fields are topics that promote a virtual network. Lets take climate change as an example: 'climate change skeptics' is the virtual network and 'adaption instead of mitigation' would be one possible semantic field.
