the skill to convince often suspicious or sceptical stakeholders about how our research helps policy makers to arrive at better decisions, and ultimately better lives for all.

Think tanks have to be at the cutting-edge of the world’s biggest challenges – war and insecurity, poverty and marginalisation, and to provide answers and options on how best to fi ght these through collaboration across borders and without regard to narrow self-interest.

We would argue that this responsibility is even greater for think thanks in Africa because the stakes on rolling back war and reducing poverty are so much higher. It was a great honour for SAIIA to be ranked the top think tank in sub-Saharan Africa in 2009 in the annual think tank survey conducted by the University of Pennsylvania. We are delighted at receiving this recognition from peers, but equally heartened by the diversity and quality of African think tanks, and especially South African ones, which are making meaningful input into policy across the continent and were rated in the survey. Message froM the national chairMan, fred PhasWana, 2009 The last two decades have witnessed great progress in Africa, and our own home, . But the continent is still marginalised and the national director, eliZabeth sidiroPoUlos internationally and seems relegated to this position in the face of the rise of the East. In his fascinating book on The New Asian Hemisphere: The Irresistible Shift of Global Power to the East, Kishore Mahbubani makes little mention of Africa. In another book by an American analyst, The Next 100 Years, Africa is rarely mentioned as a mover and a shaker of the 21st century.

A platinum jubilee is not only cause for celebration, At the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century, African policy makers and thinkers alike are grappling with the imperative of altering Africa’s trajectory in the shifting global system. As a bridge builder between North and South, and as an but also for refl ection on the last 75 years, and African state invited to participate at the global table of debates on our common future, South Africa’s role has to be that of innovator and ‘big idea’ generator. For SAIIA thus, as a South African think tank, our work must be to broaden the fi eld of ideas an opportunity to consider the next 75 about how best Africa and the world can tackle our global challenges.

The question we must ask is whether we, leaders and citizens alike, are willing and able to carve out a space for ourselves by

encouraging our society to think, Director, Elizabeth Sidiropoulos From left: SAIIA National Chairman, Fred Phaswana; SAIIA National When SAIIA was founded in 1934, one of its prime objectives was to establish a forum for debate among citizens on matters to challenge, to serve. of international affairs, so that the errors, back-room alliances, and elite war-mongering, which had led to the eruption of the Great War, twenty years before, might be avoided in the future.

SAIIA’s founders recognised that citizens had a stake in the international affairs of state. And therefore, institutes such as SAIIA, established by private citizens, had a responsibility to stimulate informed public debate, providing a platform for the airing of all opinions so that government actions were the result of carefully considered arguments. This ethos continues to guide SAIIA’s actions 75 years after it was established.

In the 1930s, the discipline of international affairs was primarily about the relationship among states. Today, the discipline is increasingly about the nexus between the state and other stakeholders and concerns development, security, and governance; and how these dynamics play out both within this new more complex global environment, and within the traditional state-centric confi gurations. International affairs think tanks are thus much more interdisciplinary today and their constituencies are far more diverse.

Think tanks all over the world, if they are truly effective, should be able not only to make the case for what is the obvious but also for what may not be. Challenging the conventional requires integrity but also courage, creativity and innovation. We need to have both great minds and be great communicators; be able to make technical or very academic analysis accessible; and have
