The Transnational Institute (TNI) is an international research and advocacy institute committed to building a just, democratic and sustainable world. For 50 years, TNI has served as a unique nexus between social movements, engaged scholars and policy makers.

In the spirit of public scholarship, and aligned to no political party, TNI seeks to create and promote international co-operation in analysing and finding possible solutions to such global problems as militarism and conflict, poverty and marginalisation, social injustice and environmental degradation.
