Centre for Global Studies

The Centre for Global Studies (CGS) is a neoliberal think tank which is 'trying to sort our the sense and nonsense of "globalisation" and tackle the really big political economy question: what political and institutional supports does a free economy need to survive?'
The Centre for Global Studies started life in 1996 as an autonomous body inside the Social Market Foundation, which was then called the Centre for Post-Collectivist Studies. According to the CGS:
:Between 1996 and 2001 the Centre for Post-Collectivist Studies held a variety of conferences on global issues and published a number of books. For example, Francis Fukuyama, The End of Order (1997), Robert Skidelsky ed., The Politics of Economic Reform (1998), Robert Skidelsky ed., Capital Regulation: For and Against (1999), Mauricio Rojas, Millennium Doom (1999), and two important essays by the Hungarian economist Janos Kornai. In addition, the Centre was responsible for the publication of "Russia on Russia", a quarterly journal based on the proceedings of the Moscow School of Political Studies.
:The Centre for Global Studies started life as its successor in mid-2002 after Professor Lord Skidelsky had ceased to be Chairman of the Social Market Foundation.
The Centre's website has not been updated since July 2004. It appears that this organisation is no longer active. Several parts of the website are still listed as "under construction" and have never been updated.

Centre for Secular Space

The Centre for Secular Space is a think tank based in the United Kingdom which was founded in February 2011.The Centre for Secular Space: About Us Centre for Secular Space. Accessed 29 April 2016
==Background==
The non-profit organisation began as an informal network of human rights activists seeking both to defend women’s rights and oppose fundamentalism. In February 2010, this network rallied together in support of Gita Sahgal, the former head of Amnesty International’s gender unit. Sahgal had been suspended following her concerns about the relationship between Amnesty International and Cageprisoners – a defence group for Guantanamo Bay prisoners which some consider to be a pro-Salafi Jihadi organisation. An expansive campaign was initiated on Sahgal’s behalf, which, incentivised by a need for enhanced organisation and strategy, became officially recognised as the CSS in February 2011.
The CSS aims to demonstrate the necessity for a separation between religion and the state in the interests of human rights; particularly the rights of women, sexual minorities, religious minorities, and atheists or apostates. It further seeks to promote secular voices whilst opposing religious fundamentalism. In doing so, it conducts research; facilitates education programs; stimulates debate; connects secularists; and initiates defence campaigns for those attacked by fundamentalists. The latter work is carried out under the name: International Defense Against Religious Extremism.Centre for Secular Space Facebook Page, Facebook. Accessed 11 August 2016

Centre for the Study of Public Policy

The Centre for the Study of Public Policy (CSPP) was founded by by Professor Richard Rose in 1976 at Strathclyde University, Glasgow. Since 1 October 2005 it is part of the Department of Politics and International Relations of the University of Aberdeen, which is "creating a major centre for the comparative analysis of survey research across Europe" CSPP website. Labelling itself a "specialist independent research unit of the university"(http://www.strath.ac.uk/cspp/research.html Accessed 23 June 2004), it has consulted the World Bank, the OECD and UN agencies on 'problems of post-Communist countries' (http://www.cspp.strath.ac.uk Accessed
29 June 2004).It mainly works on barometer surveys on democratic attitudes and behaviours in post-communist countries. 
Using Kent Weaver's typology (2000; 1989) the CSPP is a hybrid between a consultancy, a university research institute and a contract research think-tank. Most of its work is openly accessible through publication in academic journals, books or the in-house series "Studies in Public Policy". 
==Funding==
It is sponsored by scientific and private foundations, governmental and intergovernmental organizations in Austria, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States and intergovernmental agencies such as the European Commission, the Council of Europe and the World Bank. During the 1990s, Barometer surveys were conducted jointly with the Paul Lazarsfeld Society, Vienna, which was supported by the Austrian Ministry of Science and Research and the Austrian National Bank.
