Washington based Brookings Institution has been named the world’s top think tank in a survey by the 2013 Global Go To Think Tank Index Report, compiled by the The Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program (TTCSP) at the University of Pennsylvania.
Brookings Institution is followed by the London based Chatham House and the Washington-based Carnegie Endowment for International Peace comes in third worldwide.
The survey, released overnight Friday, finds two Indian think tanks in the list of top think tanks in the Asia Pacific region, according to a press statement put out by the University of Pennsylvania. The two Indian think tanks are the New Delhi based Observer Research Foundation (ORF) and the Mumbai based Gateway House.
