Centre for Geopolitics and International Policy

Centre for Geopolitics and International Policy

Our work to provide new, progressive policy ideas to address international problems.

This international era poses deep challenges for progressives. We face geopolitical divisions, but also a greater need than ever for coordination to solve international problems.

IPPR’s Centre for Geopolitics and International Policy aims to provide ambitious ideas which meet these challenges, and secure progressive outcomes in the UK and internationally.

IPPR was named 'Convenor of the Year' at the Smart Thinking Awards 2025 for the work of our Centre for Geopolitics and International Policy.
