Berlin, 02.02.2021. As in previous years, SWP did not participate in preparing the Global Go To Think Tank Index. James G. McGann, Director of the Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program (TTCSP) at the University of Pennsylvania, regularly invites think tank “peers” to evaluate counterparts. SWP has massive reservations concerning the procedures and methodology used, and sees no reason to respond. We are aware that this may lead to a less favourable “ranking”.
