IPN's work is guided by a belief that free enterprise and its supporting institutions (especially property rights, markets and the rule of law) are able to harness human potential better than any other arrangement and are the best way to address the poverty and tragedy faced by many people in the world.
IPN seeks to improve public understanding of the role of these institutions, especially in the context of international policy debates relating to the environment, development, health, trade and accountability. We work with partner organizations and individuals around the world, coordinating coalitions, producing policy materials, organizing meetings, liaising with the media, and producing and disseminating opinion editorials.
IPN undertakes ongoing work on public policy in the areas of health, environment, economic development, trade, accountability, creativity and innovation.
