Institute for Policy Studies Institute for Policy Studies
The Institute for Policy Studies is a community of public scholars and organizers linking peace, justice and the environment in the US and globally. We work with social movements to promote true democracy and challenge concentrated wealth, corporate influence, and military power. As Washington’s first progressive multi-issue think tank, IPS has served as a policy and research resource for visionary social justice movements for over four decades—from the anti-war and civil rights movements in the 1960s to the peace and global justice movements of the last decade.
