2 the President
Throughout 2005, Ifri continued its evolution toward the achievement of two key objectives: becoming more of a European institution while preserving its French identity, and growing in size to compare with its American counterparts. Ifri’s mission is to provide expert analysis of international affairs . Currently, the Institute’s main fields of research are:
- Globalization (its governance, the corporate response, etc.) and r e l l o
energy issues; R r e i v i - Classic security issues based on the rivalry between states and the l O : o proliferation of weapons of mass destruction; t o h - New security issues like international terrorism, the possibility of p global pandemics, and the risk of climate change; - The European continent (including Russia — the evolution of which will have major ramifications for the international system — and the new independent states created after the breakup of the Soviet Union), the on-going construction of the European Union (both its institutional and social dimensions), and transatlantic relations; - East Asia and the Indian subcontinent; 2 - The Greater Middle East (including Afghanistan). Ifri strives to both feed the democratic debate by informing the public on international issues and to assist decision-makers in both the private and public sectors. In pursuing our forward- looking and policy-oriented research, we rely on a network of experts around the world. We are committed to finding better ways to combine research and public debate. Ifri’s growing stature in France over the years is reflected by the list of conferences and round tables held during 2005 along with the preeminence of our guest speakers. Launched in Brussels in the spring of 2005, Eur-Ifri has rapidly established itself as an important center of debate, representing a new perspective in the landscape of ideas in “this European capital.” Most of the subjects mentioned above are, by nature, “transversal” or “interdisciplinary.” For example, understanding the problem of energy requires economic and political expertise. Transatlantic relations involve, to a considerable extent, all the major international issues. In this sense, we are continually faced with the challenge of how to balance the autonomy legitimately sought for by our various research units with a capacity to combine approaches in order to satisfy the demands of the public. In order to ensure the quality of its activities as a whole, Ifri has created an advisory board composed primarily of respected figures in the world of international relations. t r o p e r l a u n n a 5 0 0 2
In 2005, Ifri’s staff grew to 70 people, including a total of 34 researchers and associate researchers (7 of whom are foreign). This substantial process of renewal has meant that half of the staff is currently under the age of 40. Many of them have already attained or are in the process of acquiring international reputations. The 2005 budget was 3 5.3 million of which a little less than 40% was provided by public subsidies and a little more than 60% was made up of our own resources. Such a degree of independence from the state for an institution devoted primarily to research is unique in France. Our independence is due to a large extent to the support of corporate sponsors who contribute directly to the funding of research programs and other partners. One essential aspect of achieving the two key objectives mentioned above is to develop these partnerships further. The concept of the think tank has recently become fashionable in France. However, most of these public policy institutions are small, do no research, and are almost always dependent on an identifiable source of political power or lobbying organization. There is nothing wrong with this tendency, but, nevertheless, it indicates a lack of complete independence. Ifri, both due to its history and its ambition, is therefore unique in France. Thanks to our staff and our partners, to whom I would like to extend my gratitude, we are leading the way. Let me conclude by encouraging readers to consult our web site
