Working mode, goals

Der Think Tank betont die Bedeutung einer marktwirtschaftlichen Ordnung, der Anerkennung der Eigentumsrechte, der Herrschaft des Gesetzes, einer unabhängigen Gerichtsbarkeit und eines hinsichtlich seines ökonomischen Gewichts limitierten Staates. Das Institut wirkt durch seine Studien, Meinungsbeiträge, Veranstaltungen und seine internationale und regionale Vernetzung. Unter seiner Federführung wird von mehreren international arbeitenden Think Tanks werden die Kongresse des International Leaders Summit durchgeführt. Regionale Präsentationen zum 6. Summit 2009 wurden in Kooperation mit der Wirtschaftskammer Belgrad, dem Institut für Wirtschaftswissenschaften der Karls-Universität und dem wirtschaftsliberalen Projekt Lodz in Hauptstädten der Region durchgeführt und der aktuelle Index of Economic Freedom der Heritage Foundation und des Wall Street Journal vorgestellt.

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.

• Institutionelle Reform/öffentliche Dienste
• Justiz und Grundrechte
• Steuerpolitik
• Korruption
• Eigentumsrechte

Bei allen Themen handelt es sich um eine radikale Kritik des 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.
