The Transnational Institute (TNI) is a transnational alternative policy group and “network of scholar-activists”’ that produces critical research oriented toward enhancing democracy, social justice and ecological sustainability. It was established in 1973 in Amsterdam, originally as the international branch of the Institute for Policy Studies.
TNI's research seeks to challenge existing corporate priorities and state policies, and advocate for alternative globalization policies that are more sustainable, just and democratic.
It produces macro-level analyzes and critiques of the current global order, focused on six key programs or issues:
1. The Agrarian Justice project brings together research and analysis on the collective struggles of rural working people to democratize access, ownership, and local, national and global alliance of small-scale farmers, fisherfolk and marginalized rural working people.
2. The Corporate Power project develops analysis and proposals on how to end corporate impunity and dismantle corporate power. It is a lead facilitator of the international movement "Stop Corporate Impunity" and supports international efforts to establish binding international legal obligations for TNCs.
