The World Policy Institute is a New York-based research institute which focuses on the challenges and opportunities of an increasingly connected world. World Policy Journal, fellows, events, and projects provide channels for supporters, experts, and citizens to identify, debate, and develop constructive policy solutions.
The World Policy Institute was founded in 1961 in New York City. The original name was Fund for Education Concerning World Peace through World Law. The origin goes back to the movement of moderate internationalists, which started after World War II. The founders of the institute, H. B. Hollins, a banker, and C. Douglas Dillon, banker and public servant, were influenced by Grenville Clark. Both looked for support from international political figures to prevent future massacres and destruction. In 1963, the name of the institute was shortened to World Law Fund. In 1972 the institute merged with the Institute for International Order, which was founded in 1948 and led by Earl D. Osborn. The newly merged organization was called the Institute for World Order. In 1982 the current name World Policy Institute was given and the "World Policy Journal" was founded. From 1991-2007, the institute was a member of The New School university in New York City. In 2007 the institute became independent.
